Lyrics & Translation

Learning Japanese with 'Hayaku Aitai' is a great way to connect with the emotional and direct expressions of love found in Japanese pop culture. The song's clear and heartfelt lyrics about wanting to see someone you care about can help you learn phrases that convey deep affection and longing. Its connection to a popular romance movie also provides a wonderful cultural context for the language.

[English]

I'm happy to be able to tell you how much I care about someone

Please, don't leave me

I want to see you sooner, sooner

People have always said I’m young for my age

But you look at me with such affection

You know how I feel but can’t put into words

I get excited just thinking about you like that

Hey, when I asked if you like me, you sighed and then

You answer properly, that’s why I love you

Thank you for showing me how much I can care about someone

And now I realize I can just honestly say it

Tears overflowed and wouldn’t stop, and before I knew it, I was running

Please, don’t leave me

I want to see you faster, faster

My feelings of love and my selfishness are always connected

So I cause trouble and hurt you—I'm sorry

Even the calls you make during your busy days

Are for me, who’s a little sulky

Every time the seasons change, I wonder if

Our relationship will also change… I’m a little uneasy about it

Please, tell me more about you—your less-than-cool sides and everything

I want to accept all your feelings, even the ones you don’t show

If there’s anything I can do, I’ll give up everything to protect you

I won’t let go of your hand

I want to see you sooner, sooner

I'm not good at playing mind games

[Japanese]

こんなに誰かを想う気持ち 教えてくれてしあわせだよ

お願い はなさないでね

はやく はやく逢いたい

歳の割に幼いって今まで言われてきたけど

そんな私を 愛おしそうに見つめてる

言葉に出来ない私の気持ちだって知っていて

そんなあなたに ときめいてます

ねぇ、好き？って聞いたら ため息つきながら

ちゃんと答えてくれる あなたが好き

こんなに誰かを想う気持ち 教えてくれてありがとうと

今なら素直に言えると分かったの

涙が溢れて止まらなくて 気づいたらもう走り出してた

お願い はなさないでね

はやく はやく逢いたい

好きな気持ちとワガママはいつも比例してるから

困らせちゃうし 傷つけちゃうし ごめんなさい

忙しい合間を縫ってかけてくれる電話も

ちょっと拗ねてる私のため

季節が変わるたびに 2人の関係も

変わっていくかな？ 少し不安だけど

教えてほしいあなたをもっと カッコ悪いところも全部

見せたくない気持ちも受け止めるから

私にできることがあるなら 全てを捨てて守ってくよ

その手を はなさないから

はやく はやく逢いたい

かけひきは 得意じゃない
