You can find their lyrics on websites like utaten or Petitlyrics. Just search for "Raphael" on those sites. If you can't find a translation for your language, try to take a screenshot of the lyrics and then use an AI translation tool on the image..This works well since the text on those sites often can't be copied directly ( 'ω ' * )
