Lyrics & Translation

[Japanese]

[English]

改札はよそよそしい顔で

The ticket gate has a distant face

朝帰りを責められた気がした

I felt like I was being blamed for coming home in the morning

私はゆうべの服のままで

I’m still in last night’s clothes

浮かれたワンピースがまぶしい

The cheerful dress is dazzling

風邪をひきそうな空

The sky seems like it might catch a cold

一夜にして 街は季節を越えたらしい

It seems the city has crossed into a new season overnight

まだ あなたが残ってる からだの奥に残ってる

You’re still inside me, deep within

ここもここもどこかしこも あなただらけ

Here and there, everywhere, it’s all you

でも 忙しい朝が 連れて行っちゃうの

But the busy morning takes me away

いかないで いかないで いかないで いかないで

Don’t go, don’t go, don’t go, don’t go

私まだ 昨日を生きていたい

I still want to live in yesterday

駐輪場で鍵を探すとき

When I search for my keys at the bike parking

かき氷いろのネイルが剥げていた

The snow cone-colored nails were chipped

造花の向日葵は私みたい

The artificial sunflower is like me

もう夏は寒々しい

Summer already feels so cold

誰かが煙草を消したけれど

Someone put out their cigarette

私の火は のろしをあげて燃えつづく

But my fire continues to burn, sending up smoke signals

まだ 耳に残ってる ざらざらした声

Your rough voice still lingers in my ears

ずっとずっとちかくで 聞いてみたかったんだ

I’ve always wanted to hear it up close

ああ 首筋につけた キスがじんわり

Ah, the kiss on my neck is warm

いかないで いかないで いかないで いかないで

Don’t go, don’t go, don’t go, don’t go

秋風が街に 馴染んでゆくなかで

As the autumn breeze blends into the city

私まだ 昨日を生きていた

I’m still living in yesterday
