Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

ショーケースの中過ごしていた

Spending time inside the showcase.

誰もかれもが過ぎ去っていた

Everyone was just passing by.

怖かったんだ あの日君に

I was scared that day, you know, when you came to me.

連れられるまでは

Before I was taken away.

僕と同じの小さな手

Small hands just like mine.

転げまわり くすぐりあう僕ら

We tumbled around, teasing each other.

こんなに君の事好きになってた

I realized I liked you this much.

どんなときでも傍に居て

No matter the time, I want to be by your side.

君が言うなら ああ

If you say so, yeah.

名前はレオ 名前呼んでよ

Call me Leo, and call my name.

君がつけてくれた名前だから

Because it’s the name you gave me.

嬉しい時も悲しい時も

In happy times or sad times,

傍に居ると決めた大事な人

I decided to stay close because you're so important.

...

...

君が大きくなるほどに

As you grow bigger,

僕との時間は減るが道理

The time we share gets shorter, that's just how it is.

遠くに君の友達同士

Far away, your friends are with you.

仕方がないよなぁ

It’s only natural, isn’t it?

最近つけるその香水

That perfume you wear lately,

鼻の利く僕にとっては辛いや

It’s tough for me to smell with my sensitive nose.

今日も帰りは遅くなるんだろうか

Will I be coming home late again today?

君が居ない部屋 夢を見る

I dream of that empty room where you’re not there.

あの日のこと また

About that day again.

名前はレオ 名前呼んでよ

Call me Leo, and call my name.

君がつけてくれた名前だから

Because that’s the name you gave me.

寂しいけれど 悲しいけれど

It’s lonely, it’s sad,

傍に居ると決めた大事な人

But I’ve decided to stay close because you're so important.

...

...

君が誰かと暮らすことを

That night you came back to tell me

伝えに帰ってきた夜に

that you’ll be living with someone else.

撫でてくれたね きっとお別れだね

You petted me, right? It’s probably goodbye.

最後にさ 会えたから ねぇ幸せだよ

Because we were able to meet one last time, I’m happy.

...

...

名前はレオ 名前呼んでよ

Call me Leo, and call my name.

君がつけてくれた名前だから

Because that’s the name you gave me.

もう泣かないでよ 名前呼んでよ

Don’t cry anymore, call my name.

あの日より大きな手で撫でてくれた

You stroked me with a hand bigger than that day.

名前はレオ 名前呼んでよ

Call me Leo, and call my name.

君がくれた名前で良かったよ

I’m glad you gave me this name.

忘れないでよ それでいいんだよ

Please don’t forget, that’s okay.

新しい誰かにまた名前つけて

Give a new name to someone else again.

...
