Lyrics & Translation

[Japanese]

[English]

会いたいと言ってるのは

The one saying they want to see me

最近、私ばかりじゃない?

Lately, isn’t it just me?

何度もしつこいくらい

Over and over, like I’m pestering

毎日 あなたが誘って来たのに...

Every day, you were the one inviting me...

輝いてるダイヤモンドは

That sparkling diamond

どこかにしまい忘れてるの

Seems like I’ve forgotten to put it away somewhere

ねえ もう一度 思い出してよ

Hey, remember again, just one more time

昔のようにときめきましょう

Let’s make our hearts beat like before

愛はいつも 慣れてきてしまうもの

Love tends to get familiar after a while

時々は確かめないとどこか行っちゃうよ

Sometimes you have to check, or it might slip away

絶対 好きと言わせたい

I really want you to say you like me

あなたの方から

From your side

好きと言わせたい

I want you to say you like me

Won't you kiss?

Won't you kiss?

好きと言わせたい

I want you to say you like me

私の瞳を見て

Look into my eyes

好きと言わせたい

I want you to say you like me

Won't you kiss?

Won't you kiss?

抱きしめてくれても

Hold me tight

伝わって来ない

But I don't feel it

ちゃんと言葉でちょうだい

Say it properly with words

Won't you kiss?

Won't you kiss?

...

...

よそ向いて放っておくなら

If you turn your back and ignore me

私も勝手にしちゃうから

Then I’ll do what I want too

お互い干渉しない

We won’t interfere with each other

そういうルールもいいかもしれない

Maybe that kind of rule is okay too

つい強がって言ってみたけど

I tried acting tough and said that, but

そんなことはできない

I really can't do that

ねえもう少しこっちを見てよ

Hey, look at me a little more

胸の奥で叫んでいるのに

Even though I’m shouting from deep inside

愛はやがてバランス崩れるもの

Love tends to lose its balance eventually

やさしさで支えてないと傾いてしまうよ

If you don’t support it with kindness, it’ll tilt over

だから 好きと言いなさい

So just say you like me

簡単なことでしょ

It’s simple, right?

好きと言いなさい

Say you like me

One more kiss

One more kiss

好きと言いなさい

Say you like me

今更でもいい

Even if it’s late

好きと言いなさい

Say you like me

One more kiss

One more kiss

失いたくない

I don’t want to lose you

存在だったら

If I’m your existence

もっと気持ちを聞かせて

Tell me how you really feel

One more kiss

One more kiss

...

...

ねえ 私だけにずっと言わせるつもり？

Hey, are you planning to let me say only to you forever?

同じくらい言ってくれなきゃ愛を信じないよ

If you don’t say it just as much, I won’t believe in our love

絶対 好きと言わせたい

I really want you to say you like me

あなたの方から

From your side

好きと言わせたい

I want you to say you like me

Won't you kiss?

Won't you kiss?

好きと言わせたい

I want you to say you like me

私の瞳を見て

Look into my eyes

好きと言わせたい

I want you to say you like me

Won't you kiss?

Won't you kiss?

抱きしめてくれても

Hold me tight

伝わって来ない

But I don't feel it

ちゃんと言葉でちょうだい

Say it properly with words

Won't you kiss?

Won't you kiss?
