Lyrics & Translation

[Japanese]

[English]

人ごみに流され

Washed away in the crowd

ため息ばかりの日々

Days filled with nothing but sighs

いつからか気づけば

Before I knew it, somehow

大人ぶって生きてたの

I was living pretending to be grown-up

強がることで居場所

By acting tough, I found my place

守ってきたつもりで…

Thinking I was protecting myself...

無邪気に泣いたのはいつだろう？

I wonder when I last cried so freely

今更もう変われない

It's too late to change now

でも君がくれる笑顔だけが

But only your smile can

心満たしてくれるよ

Fill my heart with happiness

例えば君がずっと

For instance, if you always

そばにいてくれるなら

Stay by my side

怖がらず迷わずに

Without fear, without hesitation

手を繋いで

Hold my hand

歩いていける 今は

We can walk together now

誰にも聞こえなくても

Even if no one else can hear

そっと奏でたい

I want to softly play

２人だけのラヴソング

A love song just for us

『もういい』だなんて

Thinking 'I'm done' or giving up

諦めたような台詞

Words that sound like surrender

君に嫌われたい訳じゃないのに

I don't want you to hate me, really

だけど

But still

不安になるたび

Whenever I feel uncertain

全て壊したくなる

I want to break everything apart

大事なものだとわかってても

Even knowing what's precious to me

幸せな思い出が増えるほど

The happier the memories become

きっと離れた時に深い傷になるから

They'll become deep wounds when we part

誰にもわからないよね？

No one understands, right?

この先にある未来

The future ahead

だから目の前にある

That's why I trust what's in front of me

君と今を

You and me, right now

信じてゆけばいつか

If we keep believing, someday

聴こえるよ永遠に

We'll hear it forever

きっと心（ここ）にある

It's surely in our hearts

2人だけのラヴソング

A love song just for us

さよならがいつか二人を

Someday, the farewell will come for us

迎えに来るならもうすこし

If it comes to take us, I want us to hold on a little longer

抱きあっていたいよ

I'd still want to hold you close

どんな愛の言葉より

More than any words of love

強くなれるよ

We can become stronger

例えば君がずっと

For example, if you always

そばにいてくれるなら

Stay by my side

怖がらず迷わずに

Without fear or doubt

手を繋いで

Hold my hand

歩いていける 今は

We can walk together now

誰にも聞こえなくても

Even if no one else can hear

そっと奏でたい

I want to softly play

２人だけのラヴソング

A love song just for us
