Lyrics & Translation

[Japanese]

[English]

「好きだよ」と伝えればいいのに

I should just tell you "I love you"

願う先、怖くていえず

But I’m scared to say it, afraid of what I wish for

「好きだよ」と「好きだよ」が

"I love you," and "I love you"—

募っては溶けてく

They grow stronger, then they melt away

君との時間が一秒でも長くなるなら

If I could make the time with you last even a second longer

ずっとじゃなくていい

It doesn’t have to be forever

願いかける　恋音と雨空

Make a wish—love’s sound in the rain-filled sky

君と離れてから数日目の土砂降りの雨の中

A few days after we parted, in the pouring rain

こんな日は必ず傘を届けにいった

On days like this, I always went to bring you an umbrella

いつもの待ち合わせの場所いるはずのない面影待つ

Waiting at our usual meeting spot, hoping to see your face

傘もささず、ずぶ濡れな君はそこにいた

There you are, soaked without an umbrella

悴んだ手を温めることがもう一度できるなら

If I could warm your trembling hands once more

始まりの時まで戻りたい

I’d want to go back to the moment it all began

「好きだよ」と伝えればいいのに

I should just tell you "I love you"

願う先、怖くていえず

But I’m scared to say what I wish for

「好きじゃない？」「好きだよ？」が

"Don’t you love me?" "I do love you"—

揺れる恋と雨空

Swirling in love beneath the rainy sky

君との時間が一秒でも長くなるなら

If I could make the time with you last even a second longer

ずっとじゃなくていい

It doesn’t have to be forever

雨が止むまでこのままいさせて。。。

Just stay like this until the rain stops...

信じた明日も

Even believing in tomorrow,

君は過去と笑うの？

Are you laughing at the past?

流し去る力も無く

Without the strength to wash it away

あの日のままで時間が止まる

Time freezes, just like that day

雫が二つ

Two droplets,

君の頬を伝う

Trickle down your cheek

絶えず止まぬ雨のせいと恋音は詠う

Love and the persistent rain—an eternal song they sing

町行く恋人が羨ましく思うことが増えた

Lately, I find myself envying passing lovers

いつから一人が怖くなったんだろう

When did I start being afraid of being alone?

でも今は束の間の幸せ

But for now, it’s a fleeting happiness

できることならこのまま

If only I could stay like this forever

ありふれた恋人達になりたい

I want to become just an ordinary couple

君がここで望んでいること

What you’re wishing for here,

僕がここでいいたいこと

And what I want to say here,

今なら想いも重なるかな？

Could our feelings align right now?

「好きだよ」と伝えればいいのに

I should just tell you "I love you"

願う先、怖くていえず

But I’m scared to say what I wish for

横顔を見つめてる

Gazing at your profile

それだけでも　もういい！

That’s enough—just that is fine!

だけど一握りの幸せも

But even just a small piece of happiness

君がくれたものだから

Is something you gave to me

本当はずっと抱きしめていたい

Honestly, I want to hold you tight forever

「すれ違いも、二人もう一度やり直すための試練」 だって

"Misunderstandings, yet they’re trials for us to start over"—that’s what I believe

すぐに言えるのなら　どんなにいいだろうか

If only I could say it right away, how wonderful that would be

好きという事実通りすぎて

The truth of love passes so quickly

今ではもう愛している

And now I love you even more

失った数日間でやっと知った

It’s only after those days of losing you that I finally realized

本当はこのまま気持ち確かめたくて、、、

Deep down, I want to confirm these feelings just like this...

「好きだよ」と伝えればいいのに

I should just tell you "I love you"

願う先、怖くていえず

But I’m scared to say what I wish for

「好きだよ」と「好きだよ」が

"I love you," and "I love you"—

募っては溶けてく

They grow stronger, then they melt away

君との時間が一秒でも長くなるなら

If I could make the time with you last even a second longer

ずっとじゃなくていい

It doesn’t have to be forever

願いかける　恋音と雨空

Make a wish—love’s sound in the rain-filled sky
