I・だって止まらない – Bilingual Lyrics Japanese/English
Lyrics & Translation
Come on, don't say it so lightly
See, almost immediately
With your finger, your voice, calling me over
Coloring my lips
The vivid red
Faded just a little
Pretending not to notice
"Sorry"—until the last night
I don't want to hear it
("I love you, darling? If I feel like it.")
Because I want to keep hoping for the sound of your footsteps rushing over
I—because I can't stop anymore
Love—even though I said so
Every time I touch, I burn like fire
Drowning in memories
I—because I can't stop anymore
Love—I’ve always wanted to say so
In the midst of choking back tears
Let's dream together, you and I
With our eyes closed...
At dusk, we’ll wrap our arms around each other
As if convincing ourselves
Turning into a night butterfly
Yet still, I think, I like you so much
It’s crazy...
("I love you, darling? If I feel like it.")
My reason, my instincts, quietly burn it all away
I—because I can't stop anymore
Love—though I said so
I knew from the start
The difference in our promises and warmth
I—because I can't stop anymore
Love—I’ve always wanted to say so
Preparing for the evening rendezvous
Your suit shining under the moonlight
Only because of you...
Really, what should I do
My mind knows
But no, wait—hold on
Yeah, I can't help it... I just can't stop
I—because I can't stop anymore
Love—though I said so
Your gestures, that smile
Contradictory—drowning in it
I—because I can't stop anymore
Love—I’ve always wanted to say so
The rosy-colored times are already here
Let's make them a dream together
With our eyes closed... just like this...
