Thinking about learning Japanese? SHINee's "君のせいで" (Kimi no Sei de) offers a unique and emotionally rich way to dive into the language.

[English]

Oh！ Yah, C'mon

Baby Blue, Blue, Yeah Hoo, Yah

There's a space for you

In my closet

Filled with impulsively bought clothes

I tried to fill it up casually

There's a space for you

In my heart

Even though it won't be filled with anything

While searching for myself, I follow new friends

自分探しながら 新しい友達をたどって

Looking for new love, breaking it

It's your fault, it's your fault

I accidentally learned about kindness

It's your fault, I've become weak

I didn't want to know unnecessary kindness, Blue, Blue...

You're Baby Blue, Baby Blue, Baby Blue, Baby Blue...

It's your fault, I learned about love

It's the worst, if we hadn't met, it wouldn't have hurt, Blue, Blue...

You're Baby Blue

I liked you

The song soaked in

In a fleeting moment, still

My mouth sings on its own

Even though I've already

Deleted your name from my address

Every time I type an email

It still comes up in the predictive text

Pretending to forget is just so sad

I'm getting better at it (It Hurts So Good)

But I'm getting worse at new love...

It's your fault, it's your fault

I accidentally learned about kindness

It's your fault, I've become weak

I didn't want to know unnecessary kindness, Blue, Blue...

You're Baby Blue, Baby Blue, Baby Blue, Baby Blue...

It's your fault, I learned about love

It's the worst, if we hadn't met, it wouldn't have hurt, Blue, Blue...

You're Baby Blue

Ah, in this despairing world where you disappeared

The love I wished to know becomes more painful the more I learn

Don't Know What To Do

You're so Baby Blue

Give me, give me... I can only love you now

(C'mon)

It's your fault, it's your fault

I accidentally learned about kindness

It's your fault, I've become weak

君のせいで 弱くなった

I didn't want to know unnecessary kindness, Blue, Blue...

(You You Girl You, Baby Blue)

You're Baby Blue, Baby Blue, Baby Blue, Baby Blue...

(You're Baby Blue, Oh)

It's your fault, I learned about love

It's the worst, if we hadn't met, it wouldn't have hurt, Blue, Blue...

You're Baby Blue, Baby Blue, Baby Blue, Baby Blue

(Baby Blue, Blue, Hoo！ Baby Blue, Yeah, C'mon C'mon)

It's your fault, I learned about love

(Yeah, Blue, Blue, Baby)

Living in this worst, deep blue world, Blue, Blue...

You're Baby Blue

...

[Japanese]

Oh！ Yah, C'mon

Baby Blue, Blue, Yeah Hoo, Yah

君の分が空いた

僕の部屋のクローゼット

衝動買いした服で

適当に埋めてみたって

君の分が空いた

僕のこころの

空白まで何かで

満たされるわけじゃないのに

自分探しながら 新しい友達をたどって

新しい恋 探して壊して

君のせいで 君のせいで

間違ってやさしさなんか知ってしまったんだ

君のせいで 弱くなった

余計なやさしさなんか知りたくなかった Blue, Blue...

You're Baby Blue, Baby Blue, Baby Blue, Baby Blue...

君のせいで 愛を知って

最低さ 出会わなければ苦しくなかった Blue, Blue...

You're Baby Blue

君が好きだった

曲が染み込んで

ふとした瞬間にまだ

口が勝手に歌って

君の名前はもう

アドレスから消したのに

まだメールを打つたび

変換予測に出て来る

忘れたふりだけが 悲しいくらい

上手くなってくけど (It Hurts So Good)

新しい恋 下手になっていく...

君のせいで 君のせいで

間違ってやさしさなんか知ってしまったんだ

君のせいで 弱くなった

余計なやさしさなんか知りたくなかった Blue, Blue...

You're Baby Blue, Baby Blue, Baby Blue, Baby Blue...

君のせいで 愛を知って

最低さ 出会わなければ苦しくなかった Blue, Blue...

You're Baby Blue

Ah ブルーな 君が消えた絶望の世界

知りたいと願った愛は 知るほど苦しくなるよ

Don't Know What To Do

You're So Baby Blue

Give Me, Give Me... もう君しか愛せない

(C'mon)

君のせいで 君のせいで

間違ってやさしさなんか知ってしまったんだ

(I Never Walk Away)

君のせいで 弱くなった

余計なやさしさなんか知りたくなかった Blue, Blue...

(You You Girl You, Baby Blue)

You're Baby Blue, Baby Blue, Baby Blue, Baby Blue...

(You're Baby Blue, Oh)

君のせいで 愛を知って

最低さ 出会わなければ苦しくなかった Blue, Blue...

You're Baby Blue, Baby Blue, Baby Blue, Baby Blue

(Baby Blue, Blue, Hoo！ Baby Blue, Yeah, C'mon C'mon)

君のせいで 愛を知って

(Yeah, Blue, Blue, Baby)

最低な真っ青な世界で暮らして Blue, Blue...

You're Baby Blue
