Lyrics & Translation

[English]

[Music]

[Music]

I'm searching for you

I still remember your voice and your scent [Music]

It's fading away

[Vocals]

I can see you, laughing and frolicking [Music]

Still there

No matter what I see or hear

[Music]

Your face is all I see

Wanting to be loved

Wanting to keep loving you

I love only you

Only you

Even if it's not enough

Even if I was selfish

[Music]

Even though I knew it [Vocals]

Leaving behind

Only the memories

[Music]

Please don't

Cry

[Music]

Don't cry

Please

Don't cry

It wasn't a grand love [Music], nor the future we promised

That future won't come, yet you laughed by my side time and again

And every time, I swore my eternal love

[Japanese]

Key Grammar Structures

• その声も香りもまだ覚えてる

  ➔ Te form + iru

  ➔ The "〜ている" form indicates a state that continues after an action, here used to describe the ongoing state of "remembering".

• 笑って笑ってはしゃいでた君がいる

  ➔ Te-form as connective + ta form (past)

  ➔ The "te" form connects actions "laughing" and "playing", while "〜ていた" describes a past continuous habit or scene.

• 愛されたくて 愛していたくて

  ➔ V-tai (desiderative) + kute (conjunctive)

  ➔ The "〜たい" form expresses desire, connected by "〜くて" to indicate a sequence of reasons or states.

• わがままだって分かっていたって

  ➔ V-ta + tte (even though / admitting)

  ➔ "〜たって" is a colloquial version of "〜ても", used here to admit a fact despite the emotional conflict.

• 思い出だけを置いてって

  ➔ Te-form + iku (leaving behind)

  ➔ "置いていく" signifies an action (leaving something behind) performed as someone moves away.

• 約束してた未来も来ない

  ➔ Relative clause with ta-form

  ➔ The verb "約束してた" (past tense) modifies the noun "未来", meaning "the future (that) we promised".

• 何度も君が隣で笑い

  ➔ Masu-stem as conjunctive

  ➔ In written or poetic Japanese, the 'masu-stem' (笑い) is used to connect sentences instead of the 'te-form'.

• 誓った永遠の愛

  ➔ Ta-form as modifier

  ➔ The verb "誓った" (swore) is placed before the noun "愛" to describe what kind of love it was.
