恋だろ

Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

僕はこの世界で第何位で 君はこの世界で第何位だ

I'm ranked number whatever in this world, and you're somewhere in the same league.

身の程はわきまえているつもりだ 身の程知らずは笑われちゃうから

I know my place; I don’t want to be laughed at for overstepping.

なのに君のその笑顔に 肩までの髪に なんとかって服に

Yet, I get caught up in your smile, your shoulder-length hair, that outfit—which somehow makes me laugh with joy.

くすぐるようなその笑い声に 夢中になってバカみたい

Your giggle, it's like a tease, and I can't help but become obsessed—stupidly so.

でも こんな僕にも ちゃんと芽生えてくれた

But even someone like me has blooms of love that have grown.

この気持ちを認めてあげなくちゃね

I have to admit these feelings, I can't hide them anymore.

性別も年齢も 家柄も国籍も 外見も年収も 過去も何もかも全部

Gender, age, family background, nationality, appearance, income, past—all of it—nothing matters.

関係ないのが恋だろ 乗り越えられんのが恋だろ

That's what love is, right? Overcoming everything—that's what love means.

誰に断るでもなく 勝手に 今日もただ君が好き

Without asking anyone, just on my own—today, I simply love you.

今日もただ君が好き

Today, I just love you.

君を想う気持ちだけで言えば 僕はこの世界で第一位だ

If I had to judge, my feelings for you make me number one in this world.

そんな恥ずかしいだけの言葉が しっくりくるのが 笑っちゃうよな

It's funny how words that only make me blush fit perfectly—it's laughable.

もしも君を泣かせるような 悪いやつがいたら 僕に言ってよ

If there's anyone bad enough to make you cry, just tell me.

威勢よく飛び出して駆けつけて 震えながら 守るから

I'll step out bravely, rush over, and protect you tremblingly.

ねえ こんな時だけ 神様よ 聞いて

Hey, divine power, only listen to me now—

いつか僕だけの君にならないかな

Maybe someday you'll become only mine.

優しさも 素直さも 少しずるい 愛嬌も

Your kindness, sincerity, a bit of mischief, your charm—all of it—

明るさに　潜む影も　一つ一つが刺さって

The brightness concealing shadows—each one pierces me.

どうしようもないのが恋なら 素敵な残酷さが恋なら

If love is something uncontrollable, then perhaps love is a beautiful cruelness.

もはや抗うでもなく自然に 僕はただ君が好き　

Without even resisting, naturally, I just love you.

憧れて 諦めて また浮かべて繰り返して

I admire you, give up, and then drift away, only to meet again—a cycle repeats.

何回も 僕の中で さよならしてまた出会って

Time after time, I say goodbye inside myself, only to meet again—

言い訳も ごまかしも 嘘も何もかも全部

All excuses, lies, and deceptions—everything—

通用しないのが恋だな

Love is something that can't be fooled.

仕方ないよな 君が本当に綺麗だから

It's only natural, because you're truly beautiful.

性別も年齢も 家柄も国籍も 外見も年収も 過去も何もかも全部

Gender, age, family background, nationality, appearance, income, past—all of it—nothing matters.

関係ないのが恋だろ 乗り越えられんのが恋だろ

That's what love is, right? Overcoming everything—that's what love means.

誰に断るでもなく 勝手に 今日もただ君が好き

Without asking anyone, just on my own—today, I simply love you.

明日もただ君が好き

Tomorrow, I will just love you again.

それでいいのが恋だろ

That's what love is, isn't it?

Grammar:

• 僕はこの世界で第何位で

  ➔ using the 'で' particle to indicate the place or context where the action or state occurs

  ➔ The particle '**で**' indicates the location or context where the subject's state or action occurs.

• 関係ないのが恋だろ

  ➔ using noun + の + が to nominalize the previous phrase and state it as the subject

  ➔ The pattern '**noun + の + が**' nominalizes the preceding clause, turning it into a noun phrase that functions as the subject.

• 乗り越えられんのが恋だろ

  ➔ using potential form + ん to make informal negation, combined with の to nominalize and 関係する noun + が

  ➔ The informal potential negative form '**られん**' (from '乗り越えられない') plus '**の**' nominalizes the phrase, making it the subject of the sentence, which is 'love' ('恋').

• 何回も 僕の中で さよならしてまた出会って

  ➔ using も to emphasize repetition, and the te-form to connect sequential actions

  ➔ The particle '**も**' emphasizes the repetition of the actions, and the '**て**' form connects sequential actions: 'say goodbye many times' and 'meet again.'

• 言い訳も ごまかしも 嘘も何もかも全部

  ➔ series of nouns connected by も to indicate 'also' or 'even' and emphasizing inclusiveness

  ➔ The '**も**' particle connecting multiple nouns emphasizes that all these things—excuses, deceit, lies, everything—are included or considered together.

• それでいいのが恋だろ

  ➔ using の + が to nominalize the preceding clause as the subject, with それでいい being a fixed expression meaning 'that is fine'

  ➔ The pattern '**の + が**' nominalizes the preceding clause, turning it into a noun phrase used as the subject; '**それでいい**' means 'that is fine' or 'that’s okay,' expressing acceptance.
