「会いたくて　会いたくて」

“I Just Want to See You”

会いたくて 会いたくて 震える

I miss you so much, I'm trembling.

君想うほど遠く感じて

The more I think of you, the further away you feel.

もう一度聞かせて嘘でも

Please tell me again, even if it's a lie,

あの日のように“好きだよ”って…

Just like that day, 'I love you'...

今日は記念日 本当だったら

Today is our anniversary. If we were still together,

二人過ごしていたかな

I wonder if we would have spent it together?

きっと君は全部忘れて　あの子と笑いあってるの？

I bet you've forgotten everything, and are you laughing with her?

ずっと私だけにくれてた言葉も優しさも

All the words and kindness you always gave only to me,

大好きだった笑顔も全部

And that smile I loved so much, all of it,

あの子にも見せてるの？

Are you showing it to her too?

Baby I know

Baby, I know

君はもう私のものじゃないことくらい

That you're no longer mine.

でもどうしても君じゃなきゃダメだから

But somehow, I just can't be without you.

You are the one

You are the one.

会いたくて 会いたくて 震える

I miss you so much, I'm trembling.

君想うほど遠く感じて

The more I think of you, the further away you feel.

もう一度二人戻れたら…

If only we could go back together again...

届かない想い my heart and feelings

Feelings that can't reach you, my heart and feelings.

会いたいって願っても会えない

Even if I wish to see you, I can't.

強く想うほど辛くなって

The more intensely I think of you, the more painful it gets.

もう一度聞かせて嘘でも

Please tell me again, even if it's a lie,

あの日のように“好きだよ”って…

Just like that day, 'I love you'...

I love you 本当は

I love you, honestly.

I’m in love with you baby

I'm in love with you, baby.

I love you

I love you.

「幸せになってね」と

Saying 'Be happy,'

君の前じゃ大人ぶって

I pretended to be mature in front of you,

そんなこと心の中じゃ

But deep inside my heart,

絶対に思わない

I would never think that.

Baby I know

Baby, I know

誰より君の全てを知ってるのに

That I know everything about you more than anyone else,

でもどうしてもあの子じゃなきゃダメなの？

But does it really have to be her?

So tell me why

So tell me why.

会いたくて 会いたくて 震える

I miss you so much, I'm trembling.

君想うほど遠く感じて

The more I think of you, the further away you feel.

もう一度二人戻れたら…

If only we could go back together again...

届かない想い my heart and feelings

Feelings that can't reach you, my heart and feelings.

Just like that day, 'I love you'...

何度も愛してると

You said you loved me so many times,

言ってたのにどうして

So why...

抱きしめてやさしい声で

Hold me close and in your gentle voice,

名前を呼んで もう一度

Call my name, just one more time.

Key Grammar Structures

• 会いたくて 会いたくて 震える

  ➔ Te-form for cause/reason

  ➔ The **て** form of an i-adjective (like 会いたい → 会いたくて) or a verb can indicate the cause or reason for the following state or action, especially for emotions. Here, 'I'm trembling because I miss you so much.'

• 君想うほど遠く感じて

  ➔ Noun/Verb + ほど (to the extent that / the more... the more)

  ➔ **ほど** (hodo) after a noun or verb indicates degree or proportion. It can mean 'to the extent that,' or 'the more... the more.' Here, 'the more I think of you, the farther you feel.'

• もう一度聞かせて嘘でも

  ➔ Causative form + Te-form (request)

  ➔ **聞かせて** is the causative form of 聞く (to hear/listen) which is 聞かせる, followed by the **て** form used for requests or commands. It means 'make me hear' or 'let me hear,' implying 'please tell me/say it.'

• もう一度二人戻れたら…

  ➔ Potential form + Conditional 〜たら

  ➔ **戻れたら** combines the potential form **戻れる** (can return) with the conditional **〜たら** (if/when). It expresses a hypothetical condition, 'if we could return/if it were possible for us to return.'

• 君はもう私のものじゃないことくらい

  ➔ Nominalizer 〜こと + 〜くらい (extent/degree)

  ➔ **〜こと** (koto) nominalizes the preceding clause, turning '君はもう私のものじゃない' (you are no longer mine) into a noun phrase. **〜くらい** (kurai) indicates the extent or degree of something, often implying 'at least' or 'about.' Here, it means 'at least the fact that you are no longer mine (I know that much).'

• どうしても君じゃなきゃダメだから

  ➔ 〜じゃなきゃダメ (must be / cannot be anything but)

  ➔ **〜じゃなきゃダメ** is a common colloquial expression meaning 'it must be [X],' 'it can't be anything but [X],' or 'it won't work if it's not [X].' It conveys a strong necessity or insistence. Here, 'Because it absolutely has to be you.'

• ずっと私だけにくれてた言葉も優しさも

  ➔ 〜てくれる (giving/receiving favor) + 〜だけ (only)

  ➔ **〜てくれる** indicates that someone (the subject) performs an action for the benefit of the speaker or someone in the speaker's group. Here, '君がくれてた' means 'you gave (me) words and kindness.' **〜だけに** emphasizes that these were given 'only to me.'

• 「幸せになってね」と君の前じゃ大人ぶって

  ➔ Quotation particle 〜と + 〜ぶる (to act/pretend to be)

  ➔ The particle **と** is used to quote direct speech or thought. **〜ぶる** (from the verb ぶる) is a suffix attached to nouns or adjectives to mean 'to act like' or 'to pretend to be.' Here, 'I acted like an adult in front of you, saying 'Be happy.'

• 会いたいって願っても会えない

  ➔ Verb Te-form + 〜も (even if/though)

  ➔ The **て** form of a verb followed by **〜も** creates a concessive clause, meaning 'even if,' 'even though,' or 'regardless of.' The preceding '会いたいって' is colloquial for '会いたいと'. So, 'Even if I wish to meet you, I can't.'
