Lyrics & Translation
Just for a moment
Notice my existence
Please realize it
Look this way
Just 5 seconds
I'm close by
Look at me
But really
Even if our eyes meet
I just get flustered
I can't say anything
The placard of my heart
If you could see it
You would understand
How I feel...
If I could just write
"I like you"
Even if my heart races
Even if I sweat
I could confess
Give me a chance
Just once
I pray alone
I'm waiting
Give me a chance
A coincidence is fine
Just turn to me
Gather your courage
And call out to me
Everyone says it
みんなは言うけど
But I can't do that
The placard of my heart
I'll put my hand in my mouth
And take out the weight
That's in my chest
If I could just say
"I like you"
Even without a reply
Even with a troubled face
I can be happy
Everyone has
Somewhere in their heart
Important words
That they keep hidden
The placard of my heart
If you could see it
You would understand
How I feel...
If I could just write
"I like you"
Even if my heart races
Even if I sweat
I could confess
The placard of my heart
Hey, let's try to show it
What I'm thinking
Honestly...
If I can't say it out loud
I should just write it down
What I want to convey
What I want to talk about
Notice the placard

Key Grammar Structures
-
こっち向いて
➔ Te-form for request/command
➔ "向いて" is the Te-form of the verb "向く" (muku, to face). It's a direct, somewhat informal, way of saying "Face this way."
-
君が見てくれたら
➔ Conditional form: たら (tara)
➔ "見てくれたら" means "if you would look (at it/me)". The "たら" form expresses a condition or a hypothetical situation. It suggests that if the condition is met (you look), then something else will happen.
-
そう書いておけたら
➔ Conditional form (tara) with potential form and auxiliary verb "oku" (ておく)
➔ "書いておけたら" is a combination of: "書ける" (kakeru, potential form of "書く", to write, meaning "can write") and "ておく" (te oku), auxiliary verb meaning to do something in advance or to prepare. The "tara" turns the whole thing into a conditional, meaning "If I could write it down beforehand...".
-
伝えられただけで
➔ Passive voice (られる) + conditional particle (だけで)
➔ "伝えられた" is the passive form of "伝える" (tsutaeru, to convey, to tell). "だけで" (dakede) means "just by doing (something)". So, the whole phrase means "just by being able to convey (it)" or "just by being told (it)".
