[English]

Don’t go now, okay?

I just can't take it anymore.

Seeing you talking with another girl

or being together with her

Please don’t say those things anymore.

I don’t want to feel sad

or do anything to hurt.

A little words can change

an entire day.

Please don’t say those things anymore.

My phone in my pocket

becomes impossible to put down.

Your single word

can change my whole day.

I hum along to

this song

and I just wish that someday

it will all be worth it.

Don’t go now, I can't endure it.

Seeing you talking with another girl

or being with her,

even if you get tired of me, I won’t give up.

Just in case, so you can come suddenly,

I’ll tidy up the place.

And wash the shirt too.

Sometimes I feel depressed and just sleep until sunset...

but I still do.

That’s okay, I guess, I’ve just accepted it.

But deep down, I think...

This old, tired scene,

where I tell myself, 'It’s okay now,’

even though I know it’s not.

But really, I just want...

the moment I whispered just now,

to hear ‘I’m home’ again.

And then, move on to undo the tangle in my hair,

and head toward where we dreamed together.

where bright days laugh genuinely.

And only those habitual words

come to my mind now, so sweet.

It’s happy, sad, and futile all at once.

Honestly, I don’t care about those feelings anymore.

Then, I’ll pour endless dreams into my mind,

solidify them, and turn them into memories.

Ah, even today the moon is so beautiful.

Don’t go now, okay?

I can’t change what I’ve done,

or the places I’ve been and the feelings I had.

I was the one who did all of that.

[Japanese]

もう行かないでよね

耐えられないの

あなたが他の子と

話しているところとか

一緒にいるところも

もう言わないでよね

悲しいことは

何もしたくないよ

些細な一言で

一日が変わるの

もう言わないでよね

ポッケの電話

手放せなくなるよ

あなたの一言で

毎日が変わるの

口ずさんだ

この歌が

いつかきっと

報われることを願うばかり

もう行かないでよね 耐えられないの

あなたが他の子と

話してるところとか 一緒にいるところも

愛想をつかれても諦めないよ

急に来ても良いように

掃除をしておこう

シャツも洗っておこう

憂鬱で時々 寝て 日が暮れることが

未だにあるんだよ

それで良いんだけど もう良いんだけど

ため息混じりのこの場は

これで良いんだねと

とは言うんだけど

だけど本当はね もう もう

たった今 囁いた

ただいまが聞こえる場所で

それから 傷んだ髪をほどく先へ

あなたと夢見た先で

鮮やかに笑う日々と

口癖だけが

今更そう愛しい

それは嬉しい、悲しい、虚しい

そんなことはもうどうでもいい

そして 果てない夢を流し込んで

固めて思い出にしよう

あぁ、今日も月が綺麗だ

もう行かないでよね

変えられないよ 私がしたことも

心当たり どこの辺り 強い当たり

していたのは私だ

Key Grammar Structures

• もう行かないでよね

  ➔ Negation + て form + よね

  ➔ Using the negative form "行かない" + the て form "で" + the sentence-ending particle "よね" to express a gentle command or plea.

• 耐えられないの

  ➔ Potential form + ない to express inability

  ➔ The verb "耐えられる" (to endure) in its potential form "耐えられる" plus "ない" (negative) indicates inability to endure; here, expressed as "耐えられない" (cannot endure).

• 一緒にいるところも

  ➔ も used after a noun to mean "also" or "even"

  ➔ The particle "も" is used after the noun "ところ" (place/scene) to mean "also" or "even", emphasizing inclusion or extent.

• 口ずさんだ この歌が

  ➔ Past tense of the verb "口ずさむ" + the topic marked by "が"

  ➔ The verb "口ずさむ" (to hum, sing softly) is in its past tense form "口ずさんだ", and "が" marks the subject "この歌" (this song), indicating that this song is what was hummed.

• それで良いんだけど

  ➔ Conjunction "それで" + the plain form "良い" + the sentence-ending "んだけど"

  ➔ The conjunction "それで" (so, therefore) combined with the plain adjective "良い" (good, okay) and the ending "んだけど" (but/however) constructs a nuance of soft disagreement or gentle remark about the situation.

• ただいまが聞こえる場所で

  ➔ Plain form "聞こえる" + の + place indicated by "場所で"

  ➔ The plain form "聞こえる" (to be heard, can be heard) + の turns the verb into a noun-like modifier indicating the sound that is heard, and "場所で" specifies the location where this occurs.

• 固めて思い出にしよう

  ➔ Te-form of "固める" + volitional "しよう"

  ➔ The verb "固める" (to harden, to solidify) is in its te-form "固めて", facilitating the next verb "しよう" (let's do), which indicates a volitional or suggestion meaning "let's make it into a memory".
