Lyrics & Translation

[Japanese]

[English]

あのね いつの間にか 気づいたんだ 愛に もし カタチがあって

You know, before I realized, I noticed that if love has a shape

それがすでに わたしの胸に はまってたなら

And if that shape already fits into my heart

きっとずっと 今日よりもっと あなたのことを知るたびに

Surely, every time I get to know you more than yesterday

そのカタチはもう あなたじゃなきゃ きっと隙間を作ってしまうね

That shape can’t be anyone but you, it’s bound to create some gaps

あのね 大好きだよ

You know, I love you so much

あなたが心の中で 広がってくたび

Every time you expand within my heart

愛が 溢れ 涙こぼれるんだ

Love overflows and tears fall

...

...

これから沢山の 泣き笑いを 知るたびに増えていくの

With each new experience of crying and laughing, it all grows

飛び出たとこ へこんだとこ 二人になってく

The places we step out from, the places we stumble into, we become more of a pair

時にぶつかり すり減って そして また 埋めあっていけばいい

Sometimes we clash, wear each other down, then pick ourselves up again

大好きなあなたが

And if I just keep loving you

そばにいないときに ほら 胸が痛くなって

Even when you're not around, my chest starts to ache

あなたのカタチ 見える 気がしたんだ

I feel like I can see your shape

...

...

あのね 大好きだよ

You know, I love you so much

何万回も 伝えよう 温かく増えた想いは

I want to tell you countless times, my feelings that keep warming and growing

全部 アイノカタチです

Are all part of the shape of love

ずっと ずっと 大好きだよ

I'll love you always, forever

あなたが心の中で 広がってくたび

Every time you expand within my heart

愛が 溢れ 涙こぼれるんだ

Love overflows and tears fall

星の数ほどの中 ただ一人のあなたが 心にいるんだ

Among countless stars, it’s only you in my heart

あのね あのね ずっと 大好きだよ

You know, you know, I will love you forever

大好きだよ ああ ありがとう

I love you so much, oh, thank you

...
