[English]
The usual way home
Your back, walking a little ahead of me
So close, yet so far, it's just like us right now
If you knew how I feel, could we not stay like this?
Kept hidden in my heart
When these feelings sprouted
These blue feelings
Like a flower not waiting for spring
Bloomin'
Now they're overflowing
This love for you, it won't stop
My wavering heart and this pain in my chest, it's all because of you
If my wish comes true
If you feel the same way
Let's begin
My first and last love
For you, right in front of me, Bloomin'
More than friends, less than lovers
Repeating "good morning" to another tomorrow
Lying to these budding feelings
I don't want to anymore
Won't that profile of yours turn my way?
A scent on the wind
Like a flower
I want to feel you closer
But I can't soar
If I were worthy of you, would I be able to tell you?
My wavering heart and this pain in my chest, it's all my fault
This wish
Because I don't want it to end like this
Let's begin
My first and last love
Forever with you, right in front of me
No matter what destiny holds
No matter what future awaits
I'll embrace it all
Bloomin'
This love I have for you
I'll make it into a bouquet
My wavering heart and this pain in my chest, I'll send them to you now
If my wish comes true
And from now on, just the two of us
Over and over
My first and last love
For you, right in front of me, look, Bloomin'
My first love, look, Bloomin'

  • もし君がこの気持ち知ったら このままではいられないのかな?

    ➔ 〜たら (conditional) and 〜いられない (potential negative)

    ➔ `〜たら` expresses a condition, "If X happens, then Y." `〜いられない` is the potential form of `いる` (to be/stay) in the negative, meaning "cannot stay/cannot be." "もし君がこの気持ち知っ『たら』このままでは『いられない』のかな?"

  • 胸に秘めたまま

    ➔ 〜たまま (As is / While remaining in a state)

    ➔ Indicates that an action is performed or a state continues "as is," "without changing," or "while remaining in a certain state." It follows the past tense (ta-form) of a verb or a noun/na-adjective. "胸に秘め『たまま』"

  • 揺れる心も胸の痛みも君のせいなんだ

    ➔ 〜も〜も (both X and Y) and 〜のせい (due to X, negative nuance)

    ➔ `〜も〜も` emphasizes that "both X and Y" are included or apply. `〜のせい` indicates that something is "due to" or "the fault of" someone/something, usually carrying a negative connotation. `なんだ` adds an assertive or explanatory tone. "揺れる心『も』胸の痛み『も』君の『せいなんだ』"

  • 友達以上恋人未満の

    ➔ 〜以上〜未満 (More than X / Less than Y)

  • 君のその横顔を振り向いてくれないかな

    ➔ 〜てくれないかな (Asking for a favor)

    ➔ A polite and soft way to ask for a favor or a request, expressing a wish that someone would do something for the speaker. `〜てくれる` indicates someone doing a favor for the speaker, and `〜かな` adds a nuance of wonder or uncertainty. "君のその横顔を振り向い『てくれないかな』"

  • 舞い上がれずに

    ➔ 〜ずに (Without doing something)

    ➔ The negative form of the `〜て` form, equivalent to `〜ないで`. It means "without doing (something)" or "not doing (something) and instead (doing something else)." It often implies an unfulfilled action or condition. "舞い上がれ『ずに』"

  • 終わらせたくはないから

    ➔ 〜させる (causative) + 〜たい (want to) + 〜ない (negative) + から (reason)

    ➔ This complex structure combines several grammatical elements: `終わらせる` (causative of `終わる` - to finish, meaning "to make something finish" or "to end something"), `〜たい` (desire, "want to"), `〜ない` (negative), and `〜から` (reason). Together, it means "because I don't want to end it." "『終わらせたくはないから』"

    ➔ `受け止める` is a compound verb meaning "to catch," "to accept," "to take seriously," or "to face." In this context, it implies accepting or facing everything (the destiny, the future) without evasion. `〜を` marks the direct object. "全てを『受け止める』よ"
