Lyrics & Translation

[Japanese]

[English]

夜中にいきなりさぁ いつ空いてるのってLINE

Hey, suddenly in the middle of the night, you send a line asking when I'm free

君とはもう3年くらい 会ってないのにどうしたの？

It's been about three years since I last saw you, so what's going on?

あの頃 僕達はさ なんでもできる気がしてた

Back then, we felt like we could do anything

2人で海に行っては たくさん写真撮ったね

We went to the beach together and took so many pictures

でも見てよ今の僕を クズになった僕を

But look at me now, look at how I've become a loser

人を傷つけてまた泣かせても 何も感じ取れなくてさ

Hurting others and making them cry, I can't even feel anything anymore

別に君を求めてないけど 横にいられると思い出す

I’m not even looking for you, but thinking about being beside you brings it all back

君のドルチェ&ガッバーナの その香水のせいだよ

It’s because of that Dolce & Gabbana perfume you wear

...

...

今更君に会ってさ 僕は何を言ったらいい？

Even now, when I meet you, what am I supposed to say?

「可愛くなったね」 口先でしか言えないよ

“You've become so cute,” but I can only say it with my words

どしたの？いきなりさ タバコなんかくわえだして

What’s wrong? Out of nowhere, you start smoking

悲しくないよ 悲しくないよ 君が変わっただけだから

I’m not sad, I’m not sad, because you’ve just changed

でも見てよ今の僕を 空っぽの僕を

But look at me now, look at how empty I am

人に嘘ついて軽蔑されて 涙一つも出なくてさ

Lying to people, being despised, and not even shedding a tear

別に君を求めてないけど 横にいられると思い出す

I’m not even looking for you, but thinking about being beside you brings it all back

君のドルチェ&ガッバーナの その香水のせいだよ

It’s because of that Dolce & Gabbana perfume you wear

別に君をまた好きになる 事なんて有り得ないけど

There’s no way I’d fall in love with you again, but

君のドルチェ&ガッバーナの 香水が思い出させる

Your Dolce & Gabbana perfume still reminds me of you

...

...

何もなくても 楽しかった頃に

Even if there’s nothing, I think about the good times

戻りたいとかは思わないけど

I don’t want to go back, but

君の目を見ると思う

When I look into your eyes, I realize

別に君を求めてないけど 横にいられると思い出す

I’m not even looking for you, but thinking about being beside you brings it all back

君のドルチェ&ガッバーナの その香水のせいだよ

It’s because of that Dolce & Gabbana perfume you wear

別に君をまた好きになるくらい 君は素敵な人だよ

I might fall in love with you again, you’re such a wonderful person

でもまた同じ事の繰り返しって 僕がフラれるんだ

But it’s the same cycle all over again, and I get hurt

...
