トリコ

• By: 西島隆弘

Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

君の話は

I'm listening honestly to what you have to say

素直に聞くよ？

So please don't get mad

だから怒らないで

Let's go home together

一緒に帰ろう

Baby

Baby

What happened?

何があったの？

Tell me properly

ちゃんと言ってよ

I'm crazy about you

僕は君のトリコさ

You're always so clumsy, but

いつも不器用な あなただけど

When you're about to give up,

負けちゃいそうな時は

you stay by my side

そばに居てくれる

My girl

My girl

It's just a trap to catch your attention, no!

君の気を引っ掛ける罠さぁ No！

No matter what I do, I’m hopeless

何してもダメな僕だけど

But I won’t let go of only you!

君だけは離さない！

君だけは離さない！

君だけは離さない！

I won’t let go of only you!

ドキドキ 瞳も

My heart races, my eyes

ポロポロ 溢れる 雫も

Tears overflow and fall

抱きしめてみせるよ

I'll hold you tight

君が欲しいから

Because I want you

キラキラ 描く 未来

Drawing a sparkling future

どんどん 過ぎる 今

The present flies by so quickly

「夢は叶うかな？」

“Will my dreams come true?”

うん、そんな君が好き

Yeah, I love that about you

追いかけるから

I’ll keep chasing after you

諦めないよ？

I won’t give up, okay?

真っ直ぐな気持ち

My honest feelings,

ほっとけなくて

I just can’t ignore them

Baby

Baby

独り占めするよ？

I want to keep you all to myself

わかってるでしょ？

You know that, right?

僕は君のトリコさ

I’m crazy about you

急にせまる あなたの 優しさ

Suddenly, your kindness approaches

たまに寄り添っちゃうから

Sometimes I lean on you

困らせないで

Don’t make it harder for me

My girl

My girl

君の気を引っ掛ける罠さぁ yeah

It’s just a trap to catch your attention, yeah

「本気だ！」なんて 見せないけど

I won’t show that I’m serious, but

君だけは離さない！

I won’t let go of only you!

ドキドキ 瞳も

My heart races, my eyes

ポロポロ 溢れる 雫も

Tears overflow and fall

抱きしめてみせるよ

I'll hold you tight

君が欲しいから

Because I want you

キラキラ 描く 未来

Drawing a sparkling future

どんどん 過ぎる 今

The present rushes by so fast

「夢は叶うかな？」

“Will my dreams come true?”

うん、そんな君が好き

Yeah, I love that about you

一緒に過ごした 気持ちに

Why not look back at the feelings we shared?

振り向いてみませんか？

Won’t you turn around?

Yeah (yeah)

Yeah (yeah)

Oh (oh)

Oh (oh)

Yeah (yeah) Yeah (yeah) Yeah (yeah) Yeah (yeah)

Yeah (yeah) Yeah (yeah) Yeah (yeah) Yeah (yeah)

「はい！　伝えたいことがあります！」

“Yes! I have something I want to tell you!”
