ダーリン

• By: FAKY

Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

扉の向こうに　始まるストーリー

A story begins beyond the door

君が歌えなくても私は歌うよ

Even if you can't sing, I will sing

大切なものに　少し気付けたから

Because I realized what truly matters to me

ねぇ　だから照れてないでそばにおいでよ　ダーリン

Hey, so don't be shy—come close, my darling

ふと聞こえてきたMelodyが呼び起こしたMemory

A melody suddenly heard brings back memories

もううんざり

I'm so tired of this

だけどすんなりとは消えてくれないの

But it doesn't just vanish easily

Flash backする想い出が

The memories flashing back

汚いものばかりなら

If they're all just dirty things,

忘れられるのに　忘れられずにいるんだ

I could forget, but I can't

ずっとあなたが分からない

I've never understood you completely

でも意外と 分かるまでの 時間は計れない

But surprisingly, I can't measure how long it takes to understand

自分に限って あの魔法なんかにはかからない

I thought I wouldn't be affected by that magic of mine,

と思ってたのにかかっていたのね あなたがいい

but I was, and it's because of you

扉の向こうに　始まるストーリー

A story begins beyond the door

君が歌えなくても私は歌うよ

Even if you can't sing, I will sing

大切なものに　少し気付けたから

Because I realized what truly matters to me

ねぇ　だから照れてないでそばにおいでよ　ダーリン

Hey, so don't be shy—come close, my darling

Until the sunrise in my heart ずっと

Until the sunrise in my heart, always

あの頃の面影を

Reflecting on those days

Stayin' up for days on end いつまでも

Staying up for days on end, forever

I'm waiting

I'm waiting

いつかまたあなたとcrossover

Someday, I'll crossover with you again

心の奥 四つ葉のclover

Deep in my heart, a four-leaf clover

運命と信じて私rover

Believing in destiny, I am a rover

暖かなmoment

A warm moment

思い出すevery night

I remember every night

いちばん星の様にlonely

Like the brightest star, lonely

孤独に過ごす時間はslowly

Spending time alone slowly

ため息の様な独り言に

My thoughts about you spill out like sighs

あなたへの想いが零れる

And my feelings for you overflow

扉の向こうに　始まるストーリー

A story begins beyond the door

君が歌えなくても私は歌うよ

Even if you can't sing, I will sing

大切なものに　少し気付けたから

Because I realized what truly matters to me

ねぇ　だから照れてないでそばにおいでよ　ダーリン

Hey, so don't be shy—come close, my darling

心と心の静寂に微かな

In the quiet between hearts, a faint

優しいメロディーライン　未来への音

Gentle melody lines, sounds of the future

大切なモノは　ちゃんとここにあるから

The important things are right here, safe and sound

ねぇ　だから隠さないで声を聴かせてよ　ダーリン

Hey, so don't hide it—let me hear your voice, my darling

扉の向こうに　始まるストーリー

A story begins beyond the door

君が歌えなくても私は歌うよ

Even if you can't sing, I will sing

大切なものに　少し気付けたから

Because I realized what truly matters to me

ねぇ　だから照れてないでそばにおいでよ　ダーリン

Hey, so don't be shy—come close, my darling
