Lyrics & Translation

[Japanese]

[English]

どこかで鐘が鳴って

Somewhere a bell is ringing

...

...

らしくない言葉が浮かんで

Words that don't sound like me come to mind

寒さが心地よくて mh

The cold feels nice, mh

あれ なんで恋なんかしてんだろう

Hey, why am I in love?

聖夜だなんだと繰り返す歌と

Repeating songs about holy nights

わざとらしくきらめく街のせいかな

Maybe it's because of the deliberately sparkling city

会いたいと思う回数が

The number of times I think I want to see you

会えないと痛いこの胸が

This chest aches when I can't see you

君の事どう思うか教えようとしてる

I'm trying to tell you what I think of you

いいよ そんな事自分で分かってるよ

It's fine, I already know that myself

サンタとやらに頼んでも仕方ないよなぁ

There's no point in asking Santa or whatever

できれば横にいて欲しくて

If possible, I want you to be by my side

どこにも行って欲しくなくて

I don't want you to go anywhere

僕のことだけをずっと考えていて欲しい

I want you to think only of me

でもこんなことを伝えたら格好悪いし

But saying something like this would be uncool

長くなるだけだから まとめるよ

And it would just make it longer, so I'll sum it up

君が好きだ

I like you

...

...

はしゃぐ恋人たちは

Excited lovers

トナカイのツノなんか生やして

Grow antlers like reindeer

よく人前でできるなぁ

I wonder how they can do that in public

いや羨ましくなんてないけど

No, I'm not envious or anything

君が喜ぶプレゼントってなんだろう

What would be a present that makes you happy?

僕だけがあげられるものってなんだろう

What is something only I can give you?

大好きだと言った返事が思ってたのとは違っても

Even if the reply to "I love you" is different from what I expected

それだけで嫌いになんてなれやしないから

That alone won't make me dislike you

星に願いをなんてさ柄じゃないけど

Wishing on a star isn't really my style

結局君じゃないと嫌なんだって

But in the end, I just can't stand not having you

見上げてるんだ

I'm looking up at the sky

...

...

あの時君に出会って ただそれだけで

Just meeting you back then, that's all it took

自分も知らなかった自分が次から次に

I discovered parts of myself I didn't even know

...

...

会いたいと毎日思ってて

I think about wanting to see you every day

それを君に知って欲しくて

And I want you to know that

すれ違う人混みに君を探している

I'm searching for you in the crowd

こんな日は他の誰かと笑ってるかな

On a day like this, are you laughing with someone else?

胸の奥の奥が苦しくなる

The depths of my heart start to ache

できれば横にいて欲しくて

If possible, I want you to be by my side

どこにも行って欲しくなくて

I don't want you to go anywhere

僕のことだけをずっと考えていて欲しい

I want you to think only of me

やっぱりこんな事伝えたら格好悪いし

After all, saying something like this would be uncool

長くなるだけだから まとめるよ

And it would just make it longer, so I'll sum it up

君が好きだ

I like you

...

...

聞こえるまで何度だって言うよ

I'll say it as many times as it takes until you hear me

君が好きだ

I like you

...

...
