Lyrics & Translation

[Japanese]

[English]

家路の途中の細い一方通行

A narrow one-way street on my way home

ここにある半分壊れた街灯は

This half-broken streetlamp here is

あまりにも人通りがなくて

There's almost no one passing by

私だけを照らしてる ねぇダーリン

Only shining on me, hey darling

あなたからの電話を待ち続けて

Waiting endlessly for your call

自分が乾いてくのが分かった

I realize I'm drying out

今ひとりぼっちだよ help me

I'm all alone right now, help me

そんな誓いなら私いらないってば

If it's just a vow like that, I don't need it

それなら今すぐ世界が壊れるほど抱きしめてよ

Then hold me tight enough to break the world right now

月曜日の朝に玄関でキスして

Kiss at the door on Monday morning

日曜日の夜に同じベッドの中にいて

Be in the same bed on Sunday night

ただ、それだけ

That's all, really

...

...

恋が姿を変えてくのは

Love changes its shape

空のグラデーションと似てるね

It's like the sky's gradient, you know

初めて二人で出掛けた時

When we first went out together

とても覚えやすい空だった ねぇダーリン

The sky was so easy to remember, hey darling

単純な繰り返しならいいのにね

I wish it were just simple repetitions

何千回、何万回でも愛せるよ

I can love you thousands, millions of times

もう一人は嫌だよ help me

I don't want to be alone anymore, help me

そんな誓いなら私いらないってば

If that's a vow, I don't need it

それなら今すぐ世界が壊れるほど抱きしめてよ

Then hold me tight enough to break the world right now

待っている未来がたとえ残酷でも

Even if the future I wait for is cruel

そんな顔しないで「愛してる」って笑ってて

Don't make that face, just smile and say 'I love you'

ただ、それだけ

That's all, really

バカな夢みるほど私、子供じゃない

That's all, really

だけど割り切れるほど大人でもない

I'm not a child who dreams silly dreams

あなた覗き込んだらそこに私がいた

But I'm not an adult enough to give up either

信じるってなんだろう？

When I look into your eyes, I see myself there

強さってなんだろう？

What does it mean to believe?

...

What does strength mean?

そんな誓いなら私いらないってば

If it's just a vow like that, I don't need it

それなら今すぐ世界が壊れるほど抱きしめてよ

Then hold me tight enough to break the world right now

後悔しないからどこでも連れてって

I'll go anywhere without regrets

何にも決まってなくたって

Even if nothing's decided yet

あなたがいればそれでいい

As long as you're with me, that's enough

月曜日の朝に玄関でキスして

Kiss at the door on Monday morning

日曜日の夜に同じベッドの中にいて

Be in the same bed on Sunday night

待っている未来がたとえ残酷でも

Even if the future I wait for is cruel

そんな顔しないで「愛してる」って笑ってて

Don't make that face, just smile and say 'I love you'

ただ、それだけ

That's all, really

ただ、それだけ

That's all, really
