Last week I've stumbled upon a japanese song and have been struggling with the
translation ever since. Here are the culprit lines:

> [連]{つ}れていって
>
> [知]{し}らない[世界]{せかい}
>
> ずっと[手]{て}を[放]{はな}さないで
>
> [魔法]{まほう}みたいあなたしか[見]{み}えない[全]{すべ}てが[初]{はじ}めての[私]{わたし}

So far I've come up with the following:

> Take me  
>  [to] The unknown world  
>  Never let go of my hand  
>  Like magic, I can't see anything but you ... everything is?? ... the new
> me??

To a newbie like me this [全]{すべ}てが[初]{はじ}めての[私]{わたし} doesn't make a lot of
sense in the given context (and [初]{はじ}めての[私]{わたし} by itself... "the first
me"? "first time for me"? "the new me"?..). How should I interpret the last
line of the song?

Translation of 魔法みたいあなたしか見えない全てが初めての私
First, I checked the lyrics on two different websites to find that, on both,
there was a space after the 「魔法みたい」, which would mean that we need to treat it
as an independent phrase.

> "It's like magic."

「あなたしか見えないすべてが初めての私」 is the Japanese equivalent of an English relative clause
--- "A me who ~~~~~". Everything that comes before 「私」 modifies 「私」.

> "A me who cannot see anything but you and to whom everything is new."
