それでもただ

Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

それでもただ届けたくて

Still, I just want to send it to you

ただ届けたくて

I just want to deliver it

言葉じゃもう足りないくらい

Words are no longer enough

ああ想いが溢れてくよ

Oh, my feelings are overflowing

息が白く溶ける冬空に

In the winter sky where my breath turns to white,

願いを込めたなら

If I put my wishes into it,

届きそうな気がして

It feels like it might reach you

かじかむ手握った

I clasp my trembling hands

不安消えるように

Hoping my worries will disappear

下を向いたら涙がこぼれそう

If I look down, tears might spill

そばにいるしかできないけど

Though I can only be by your side

それでもただ愛おしくて

Even so, I just love you dearly

ただ愛おしくて

I just love you dearly

君は君のそのままでいい

It's okay for you to be just as you are

ああ想いが溢れてくよ

Oh, my feelings are overflowing

何度だっていいよ

It’s okay no matter how many times

聞いてあげる

I'll listen

まっすぐな瞳で

With your honest eyes

繰り返す言葉も

Your repeated words

無垢なその笑顔も

And that innocent smile

守りたいんだずっと

I want to protect them forever

不安な時はぎゅっと抱きしめるよ

When you're anxious, I'll hold you tight

こんなことしかできないけど

Even if this is all I can do

それでもただ愛おしくて

Even so, I just love you dearly

ただ愛おしくて

I just love you dearly

不器用でもひたむきなその姿が好きだ

I love your earnest, clumsy姿勢

それでもただ届けたくて

Still, I just want to send it to you

ただ届けたくて

I just want to deliver it

君は君のそのままでいい

It’s okay for you to be just as you are

ああ想いが溢れてくよ

Oh, my feelings are overflowing

（君は君のままそのままで so special, so special）

(Just as you are, so special, so special)

それでもただ愛おしくて

Even so, I just love you dearly

ただ愛おしくて

I just love you dearly

一秒でも長く一緒に笑っていたい

I want to laugh with you as long as a second longer

それでもただ届けたくて

Still, I just want to send it to you

ただ届けたくて

I just want to deliver it

言葉じゃもう足りないくらい

Words are no longer enough

ああ想いが溢れてくよ

Oh, my feelings are overflowing
