Lyrics & Translation

[Japanese]

[English]

君が今置いて行った言葉に

The words you left behind just now

およぎながら追いつく

While swimming, I catch up

君はまた「間違ってない」と

Again, you say 'You're not wrong,'

言われる前にわかっていたのに

Even though I knew before you could say it

濡れていた左の頬に

On my wet left cheek

触れようと 伸ばした手を掃った

I reached out to touch you, but you brushed away my hand

どうしてあの時伝えられなかったのだろう

Why couldn't I tell you back then?

今やっと気づいたよ

Finally, I’m realizing it now

愛しくて溢れ出す

I love you so much, I’m overflowing

君を想う涙が

Tears thinking of you

この胸に広がって

Spread across my heart

必要だとわかった

And I’ve understood that I need this

君がもしまだ僕を求めてくれるのなら

If you still want me,

もう迷わない 今逢いに行くよ

I won’t hesitate anymore, I’ll come see you

...

...

君が今 望んでいた言葉を

The words you’re longing for now

憂いながらつぶやく

You whisper with sadness

君がいない 乾いた空気が

The empty air without you

余計に僕を一人にしていく

Only makes me feel lonelier

揺れていた 小さな肩に

On your small, trembling shoulders

触れようと伸ばした手を掃った

I reached out to touch you, but you brushed away my hand

どうしてあの時 伝えられなかったのだろう

Why couldn’t I tell you back then?

今やっと気づいたよ

Finally, I’m realizing it now

愛しくて溢れ出す

I love you so much, I’m overflowing

君を想う涙が

Tears thinking of you

この胸に広がって

Spread across my heart

必要だとわかった

And I’ve understood that I need this

君がもしまだ僕を求めてくれるのなら

If you still want me,

もう離さない 今逢いに行くよ

I won’t let go anymore, I’ll come see you
