[English]

The evening sky is clearly visible today

My bike rides smoothly today

Through these awkward, unfamiliar days

I’ve been living without getting used to them

The city’s sounds are loud and clear today

The clock’s hands tick by so slowly today

In these awkward, unfamiliar days

It’s all because of you I can’t adjust

The name of this illness is love

A heavy illness, for sure

No matter what I do, no matter how much I cry

There’s no cure for it (no cure)

It’s your fault I’ve fallen in love

An incurable illness, for sure

No matter what I do, no matter how much I cry

It’s an illness that will never heal

That moon shines brighter than usual tonight

The trees sway in the wind, playing a melody

I close my eyes and sigh again

Recalling old memories (oh yeah)

Yearning so deeply

For those cherished days

Just remembering isn’t enough anymore

The accessory you always wanted

Your gestures shine even brighter than it

I’m smitten, trapped, and can’t fully recover

The name of this illness is love

A heavy illness, for sure

No matter what I do, no matter how much I cry

There’s no cure for it (no cure)

It’s your fault I’ve fallen in love

An incurable illness, for sure

No matter what I do, no matter how much I cry

It’s an illness that will never heal

Looking up at the night sky

The stars twinkle gently

Tears fall for no reason

In this quiet, natural world

You’re no longer here

But

I really liked you a lot

No matter what I do, no matter how much I laugh

It’s an illness that will never heal

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

[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
