Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Hey, what I almost said

Even yesterday's "I'm sorry"

And my unreliable responses

And the "I love you" crying deep inside, yeah

I could lie and say I don't care, but

Please know that sometimes my heart still races

My love grows like a roller coaster

Spinning, swaying, falling, I wonder if it will reach you

Tonight's love story

Under the serene shooting stars

I'll send you the rest of my words

Hey, look at me baby

I'm crazy about you

I say, I love you

Stay in my eyes forever

In the next life, or the one before

I've always wanted to see you

I'm crazy about you

All day, all night

I'll tell you properly, so please listen

However many times, however many tens of thousands of times

I'll call your name

Will you stay with me forever? Ay

Will you stay with me forever? Yeah

Your profile illuminated by the moonlight

I want more time to gaze at you

Every time you appear in my heart

Make me hot, hot

Always unable to be honest

Torn in love, love, love, yeah

"I'm home" and "Welcome home"

Reflecting happiness

A flower of love that subtly bloomed by my side

A flower of love

Always together

We don't need words

Because I remember it deep within my heart

I'm crazy about you

I say, I love you

Stay in my eyes forever

In the next life, or the one before

I've always wanted to see you

I'm crazy about you

All day, all night

I'll tell you properly, so please listen

However many times, however many tens of thousands of times

I'll call your name

(Wooh-ooh, wooh, yeah)

(I am in love with you)

(Wooh-ooh, wooh, wooh, ooh)

(Forever, ay)

Please

Along with those tears

And the prayers about to spill out

I'll come wipe them away right away

Just call my name

I'll hold you forever

So you don't cry alone

I'm crazy about you

I say, I love you

Stay in my eyes forever

In the next life, or the one before

I've always wanted to see you

I'm crazy about you

All day, all night

I'll tell you properly, so please listen

However many times, however many tens of thousands of times

I'll call your name

Will you stay with me forever? (Forever, forever)

Will you stay with me forever? (Forever)

Stay with me forever

[Japanese]

ねぇ 言いかけた

昨日のごめんも

頼り甲斐のない相槌も

裏側で泣いてる I love you, yeah

気にしてないって嘘はつけたけど

たまに胸騒ぐのもわかってよ

好きが募ってローラーコースター

回って揺れて落ちて君に届くかな

今夜の恋模様

流れる星うららかな

言葉のつづきを贈るよ

Hey, look at me baby

君に夢中

I say, I love you

僕の瞳にずっといて

来世でも 前世でも

ずっと会いたくて

君に夢中

四六時中

ちゃんと言うからねぇ聞いて

何回でも 何万回でも

名前を呼ぶよ

Will you stay with me forever? Ay

Will you stay with me forever? Yeah

月夜照らされる横顔

見惚れる時間がもっと欲しいよ

心に君映るたび

Make me hot, hot

正直になれずにずっと

Torn in love, love, love, yeah

ただいまとおかえり

幸せ跳ね返し

傍らにさりげなく咲いた

恋の花

ずっと一緒

言葉はいらないよ

心のもっと奥で覚えてるから

君に夢中

I say, I love you

僕の瞳にずっといて

来世でも 前世でも

ずっと会いたくて

君に夢中

四六時中

ちゃんと言うから ねぇ聞いて

何回でも 何万回でも

名前を呼ぶよ

(Wooh-ooh, wooh, yeah)

(I am in love with you)

(Wooh-ooh, wooh, wooh, ooh)

(Forever, ay)

Please

その涙と一緒に

溢れ落ちそうな祈り

すぐ拭いに行くから

僕を呼んで

抱きしめるずっと

ひとり泣かないよう

君に夢中

I say, I love you

僕の瞳にずっといて

来世でも 前世でも

ずっと会いたくて

君に夢中

四六時中

ちゃんと言うからねぇ聞いて

何回でも 何万回でも

名前を呼ぶよ

Will you stay with me forever? (Forever)

Stay with me forever

Key Grammar Structures

• ねぇ 言いかけた

  ➔ Verb Stem + かける (kakeru)

  ➔ This pattern indicates that an action was started but not completed, or that someone was "about to" do something. Here, "言いかけた" means "I started to say / was about to say".

• たまに胸騒ぐのもわかってよ

  ➔ Nominalizer の (no) + Particle も (mo)

  ➔ The particle 「の」 nominalizes the preceding verb phrase, turning it into a noun. Adding 「も」 here gives the meaning of "even" or "also". So, "胸騒ぐのも" means "even the fact that my heart sometimes races".

• 流れる星うららかな

  ➔ Verb in Dictionary Form modifying a Noun (Relative Clause)

  ➔ In Japanese, a verb in its dictionary form can directly precede and modify a noun, functioning as a relative clause. "流れる星" means "stars that flow / flowing stars".

• ずっと会いたくて

  ➔ ~たい (tai) form + て (te) form

  ➔ The 〜たい form expresses desire ("want to do"). Adding the 〜て form here connects it to a subsequent unstated clause, often implying a reason or a continuing state of longing. "ずっと会いたくて" means "because I always want to see you (and that's why...) / always wanting to see you".

• 何回でも 何万回でも

  ➔ 何〜でも (nan~demo)

  ➔ This pattern means "no matter how much/many (of something)" or "any amount/number of times". It expresses inclusiveness or indifference to quantity. "何回でも" means "no matter how many times / any number of times".

• 月夜照らされる横顔

  ➔ Passive Voice 〜される (sareru)

  ➔ The passive voice indicates that the subject receives the action. Here, "照らされる" (from 照らす - to illuminate) means "is illuminated" or "is shone upon". "月夜照らされる横顔" means "the profile illuminated by the moonlight".

• 心に君映るたび

  ➔ ~たび (tabi)

  ➔ 「〜たび」 (often written as 「〜度」) means "every time", "whenever", or "each time". It indicates that something happens repeatedly whenever a certain condition is met. "心に君映るたび" means "every time you appear in my heart".

• 正直になれずにずっと

  ➔ Verb Negative Stem + ずに (zu ni)

  ➔ 「ずに」 is a more formal or literary equivalent of 「〜ないで」. It means "without doing (something)" or "instead of doing (something)". "なれずに" (from なる, potential form なれる, negative なれない) means "without being able to become / without being honest".

• 溢れ落ちそうな祈り

  ➔ Verb Stem + そうな (souna)

  ➔ 「〜そう」 indicates that something "looks like," "appears to be," or "seems likely to happen." When modifying a noun, it takes the form 「〜そうな」. "溢れ落ちそうな" means "looks like it's about to overflow and fall down".

• ひとり泣かないよう

  ➔ Verb Negative + よう (you)

  ➔ 「〜よう」 expresses purpose, goal, or effort "so that (something happens)" or "in order to (do something)". When used with the negative form, it means "so that (something doesn't happen)" or "in order to avoid (doing something)". "泣かないよう" means "so that you don't cry".
