Lyrics & Translation

[English]

On days when the evening sky looks clear

On days when the bicycle glides lightly forward

Awkward days somewhere uncertain

Not getting used to them as I live

On days when the city's sounds ring clearly

On days when the clock hands move slowly

Awkward days somewhere uncertain

It's all your fault that nothing feels familiar

The name of the illness was love

It's a heavy sickness, surely

No matter what I do, even if I cry a lot

There's no way to cure it (no way)

Because of you, I've been plagued by love

It's an incurable illness, surely

No matter what I do, even if I cry a lot

It's a sickness that won't be cured

That moon shining brighter than usual

A tree swayed by the wind, playing sound

Closing my eyes, sighing again

Recalling the past (oh yeah)

Yearning deeply

The days of longing no more

Just recalling isn't satisfying

Accessories you desired so much

More dazzling than those are your gestures

I've fallen in love and can't escape, can't fully recover forever

The name of the illness was love

It's a heavy sickness, surely

No matter what I do, even if I cry a lot

There's no way to cure it (no way)

Because of you, I've been plagued by love

It's an incurable illness, surely

No matter what I do, even if I cry a lot

It's a sickness that won't be cured

In the night sky I glanced up suddenly

Stars twinkling gently

Tears spilling for no reason

In this quiet nature

Here, you are no longer

But you're not here anymore

I loved you so much

No matter what I do, even if I laugh a lot

It's a sickness that won't be cured

[Japanese]

夕暮れ空よく見える日

自転車が軽く進む日

どこかぎこちない日々を

慣れずに過ごして

街の音よく聞こえる日

時計の針が遅く進む日

どこかぎこちない日々に

慣れないのはすべてが君のせい

病の名前は恋だったんだ

重い病だきっと

何してもたくさん泣いても

治す方法はないんだ（ないんだ）

君のせいで恋を煩ったんだ

不治の病だきっと

何してもたくさん泣いても

もう治ることない病だ

いつもより光るあの月

風に揺られ音奏でる木

目を閉じてはまたため息

昔思い出して (oh yeah)

思い焦がれて

もう憧れの日々を

思い出すだけじゃ満たせない

君が欲しがってたアクセサリー

それより輝く仕草に

惚れて抜け出せず 完治できないずっと

病の名前は恋だったんだ

重い病だきっと

何してもたくさん泣いても

治す方法はないんだ（ないんだ）

君のせいで恋を煩ったんだ

不治の病だきっと

何してもたくさん泣いても

もう治ることない病だ

ふと見上げた夜空には

優しくきらめく星が

理由もなくこぼれる涙

静かなこの自然の中で

ここには君はもう

いないけど

君がとても好きだったよ

何してもたくさん笑っても

もう治ることない病だ
