なんでもないよ、

Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

僕には何もないな 参っちまうよもう

I don't have anything, I feel like giving up already

とっておきのセリフも特別な容姿も

Neither special lines nor a special appearance

きみがくれたのは愛や幸せじゃない

What you gave me wasn't love or happiness

とびっきりの普通と そこに似合う笑顔だ

It was just plain normalcy and a smile that suits it

僕でよかったかい？こんな僕でよかったのかい？

Was I okay? Was it okay that I am like this?

なんて訊いたりしないよ、だって君がよかったんだ

I won't ask that, because I was happy you liked me

そんな僕の予感なんだ

That's just my feeling about us

からだは関係ないほどの心の関係

A heart connection so strong that bodies don't matter

言葉が邪魔になるほどの心の関係

A heart connection so intense words can't get in the way

会いたいとかね、そばに居たいとかね、守りたいとか

Want to see you, be beside you, protect you—that kind of thing

そんなんじゃなくて ただ僕より先に死なないでほしい

No, I just don't want you to die before me

そんなんでもなくて、ああ、やめときゃよかったな

It's not that simple—actually, I wish I hadn’t said anything

「何でもないよ」なんでもないよ、

"It's nothing"—nothing at all

僕には何もないな、ってそんなこともないな

I don't have anything, or maybe I do

君の本気で怒った顔も呑気に眠る顔も

Your genuinely angry face and your carefree sleeping face

きっとこの先いちばん映していくこの目

Surely, the eyes I will keep capturing most from now on

君の大きい笑い声をきっと誰よりも

Your big laugh, more than anyone else's, I want to hear it

たくさんきけるのは僕のこの耳

From my ears—they're the ones that can hear it best

からだは関係ないほどの心の関係

A heart connection so strong that bodies don't matter

言葉が邪魔になるほどの心の関係

A heart connection so intense words can't get in the way

会いたいとかね、そばに居たいとかね、守りたいとか

Want to see you, be beside you, protect you—that kind of thing

そんなんじゃなくて ただ僕より先に死なないでほしい

No, I just don't want you to die before me

そんなんでもなくて、ああ、よしときゃよかったか

It's not that simple—maybe I should have just let it go

「何でもないよ」

"It's nothing"

会いたいとかね、離さないから離れないでとか

Want to see you, not letting go, don't leave me

そんなんじゃなくて

It's not that simple

そんなもんじゃなくって、ああ何が言いたかったっけ

It's not just that—I forget, what was I trying to say?

「何でもないよ」なんでもないよ、

"It's nothing"—nothing at all

君といるときの僕が好きだ

I love the way I am when I’m with you
