会いたい 会いたい 会いたい 会いたい

会いたい 会いたい 会いたい 会いたい

君に 会いたい 会いたい 会いたい

I want to see you, I want to see you, I want to see you

話したい 触れたい 抱きたい 見つめたい

I want to talk to you, touch you, hold you, gaze at you

これを超える気持ちが今も 生まれない

Even now, no feeling surpasses this one

僕は生きてるよ 君のいない世界で

I'm alive, in a world without you

たまに笑ってみたり 何か夢中になったり

Sometimes I smile, or get absorbed in something

だけど君が ここにいなくてもいい理由

But there's no reason why you don't have to be here

なんかどこにも 見当たらないまま10年

I still can't find one, after 10 years

君が吸うはずだった酸素は今ごろ

The oxygen you were supposed to breathe, where

どこの誰の中を彷徨ってるんだろう

I wonder which stranger's body is it wandering through now

なんてさ なんてさ なんてバカ真面目に

Just thinking such overly earnest things

思ったりするのさ

I find myself doing

会いたい 会いたい 会いたい 会いたい

I want to see you, I want to see you, I want to see you, I want to see you

君に 会いたい 会いたい 会いたい

I want to see you, I want to see you, I want to see you

聞きたい 撫でたい 怒りたい 嗅ぎたい

I want to hear you, caress you, get angry with you, smell you

これを超える気持ちが今も 生まれない

Even now, no feeling surpasses this one

...

...

君ならなんて言うかな

I wonder what you would say

君ならどうしていたかな

I wonder what you would have done

君の「大丈夫」のひと言を

I wish I had recorded

録っておきたかった

Your single word of "It's okay."

君がここにいないと ダメな理由ばっか

I keep piling up all the reasons why I need you here

だけを積み上げては気づけば早10年

And before I know it, it's been 10 years

君がいなくなって ほんの少しだけ軽く

Since you've been gone, this earth that's only slightly lighter

なったこの地球で 今日も息をしてるよ

I'm still breathing on it today

なんてさ なんてさ なんてバカみたいに

Thinking such foolish things

君がここにいるんだよ

You're right here with me

...

...

君にもう一度 出逢える奇跡をここに

Let's wish upon this place for a miracle to meet you one more time

お願いしよう なんて考えたけれど

I thought of doing that, but

それはきっと無理 だって僕はもうすでに

That's surely impossible, because I already

君のこと見つけた時に 使っちゃったから

Used it up when I found you

...

...

会いたい 会いたい 会いたい 会いたい

I want to see you, I want to see you, I want to see you, I want to see you

君に 会いたい 会いたい 会いたい

I want to see you, I want to see you, I want to see you

話したい 触れたい 抱きたい 見つめたい

I want to talk to you, touch you, hold you, gaze at you

これを超える気持ちはきっと

I know for sure that a feeling surpassing this

この世のどこにもないと わかっているよ

Doesn't exist anywhere in this world

...

• これを超える気持ちが今も 生まれない

  ➔ を超える (o koeru): To exceed, to surpass. ～が生まれない (~ga umarenai): Not born, doesn't arise; potential form of 生まれる (umareru) + negative auxiliary verb ない (nai).

  ➔ This line means "Feelings that exceed this still aren't born now." It expresses the idea that nothing has surpassed the feeling of wanting to meet that person. "生まれない" is potential form, meaning impossible to be born or produced.
