愛とか恋とか

Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

月曜日の朝

Monday morning

憂鬱な気持ちも

Even my gloomy feelings

君と会う日を思い浮かべれば

Just thinking about the day I’ll see you again makes me feel hopeful

いつもの道に優しい風が吹き

A gentle breeze blows through our usual street

心弾ませ今日が始まるよ

And my heart races as today begins

昔は聴かなかったあの歌や

Even those songs I used to ignore

映画や香水の匂いでさえも

And the scents of movies or perfume

君が好きなものってだけでさ

Just because I like you, it all feels different

どうして僕も好きなんだろう

Why do I also love it?

こんなにも

So much

愛とか恋とかの言葉で片付けられないくらいの

To the point where words like love or romance can't explain

『愛してる』が溢れ出して

‘I love you’ just overflows from my heart

止まらない想い

My feelings just keep pouring out

君も同じかな

Are you the same?

伝えよう目を見て 今すぐ走った

I tell you, look into my eyes, I ran to you right now

離れないように

So I won't let go

離さないから 抱きしめたいよずっと

Because I won't let go, I want to hold you forever

会えない時は思い出をめくって

When we can't meet, I flip through memories

近くに君を感じて励まされ

And feel your presence nearby, encouraging me

携帯に映る君からの通知を

The notifications from you on my phone

開く時間に笑顔になれるよ 　

Make me smile every time I see them

僕の腕で君が眠る夜も

On nights when you're asleep in my arms

夢でもいつでも君と過ごしてた

Even in my dreams, I spent every moment with you

目が覚めても夢は醒めないまま

And when I wake up, the dream still lingers

心が君で満ちていく

My heart is filling up with you

こんなにも

So much

愛とか恋とかの言葉で片付けられないくらいの

That words like love or romance can't explain

「愛してる」が溢れ出して

‘I love you’ just overflows from my heart

止まらない想い

My feelings just keep pouring out

守りたい明日も

I want to protect tomorrow too

この先訪れる未来を全部

And all the future that lies ahead

預けてほしい

I want you to entrust it all to me

君以外はもう他には何もいらない　

I don't need anything else but you

「なんともないよ」「大丈夫だよ」

‘It’s nothing,’ ‘I’m okay,’

溢す口癖

Those habitual reassurances

僕は気づいてるよ

I realize, you know

弱くてもいい、泣いてもいいんだよ

It’s okay to be weak, it’s okay to cry

僕の前で強がらないで

Don’t pretend to be strong in front of me

愛した理由はさ

The reason I love you is

ありきたりなのかもしれないけど

It might be ordinary, but

君以外には考えられない

I can’t think of anyone but you

愛とか恋とかの言葉で片付けられないくらいの

And words like love or romance can't explain

『愛してる』が溢れ出して

‘I love you’ just overflows from my heart

止まらない想い

My feelings just keep pouring out

君も同じかな

Are you the same?

伝えよう目を見て

Let’s tell each other, look into my eyes

今すぐ走った

And run to you right now

離れないように

So I won’t let go

離さないから

Because I won’t let go

抱きしめたいよずっと

I want to hold you forever
