Kimi ni Aitaku Nattara
words by Sakai Izumi

Japanese

Kimi ni aitaku nattara...
Sono hi made ganbaru jibun de itai
Aoku kurekaketa machinami
Mata omoikiri sawagou ne

Futo kagami wo mireba nante tsukareta kao
Hito no me niwa jibun wa dou utsutte iru no kana?
Tama niwa sukoshi kyori wo oite
Mitakatta no shibaraku wa
Ren-ai ja nai koibito ja nai kankei de ite

Kimi ni aitaku nattara...
Itsu datte sugu ni tonde ikeru
Kowareyasui mono dakara koso
Taisetsu ni shitai to omou

Sore demo anna deai wa nidoto nai yo ne
Warubuttatte hito no yosasou na me wa kakusenai

Tooi shourai ga konna ni
Hayaku kuru towa omowanakatta
Hontou ni watashi de ii noka yukkuri kangaete...

Kimi ni aitaku nattara...
Itazura na egao wo omoidasu
"Daijoubu da yo" to iu kimi no kotoba ga
Ichiban daijoubu ja nai

Kitto unmei ga futari no
Mikata wo shite kureru deshou
Wagamama ja nai kirai dakara ja nai wakatte

Kimi ni aitaku nattara
Sono hi made ganbaru jibun de itai
Kore ga saisho de saigo no koi ni
Nareba ii na to omou

Aoku kurekaketa machinami
Mata omoikiri sawagou ne

English

When I decide I want to see you...
Until then, I want to stay by myself
Let's just enjoy another night
In the darkening town

When I look into the mirror, I see such a tired face
I wonder how I look in other people's eyes
Once in a while there are times
When I'd just like a little space
When I'm not in love, not your lover, just your friend

When I decide I want to see you...
That time could come soon
Because it's such a frail thing
I think I'd like to treasure it

Still, such a meeting won't happen again
Wrong-doings can't be hidden from the good eyes of people

I didn't think the far-off future
Would come this quickly
I need to think carefully if this is right for me

When I decide I want to see you...
I remember your mischievous face
You're saying "Don't worry"
Is what worries me the most

I guess it must be fate
That's been supported us
I'm not being selfish, I don't hate you, please understand

When I decide that I want to see you...
Until then, I want to stay by myself
If this should be my first and last love
I think that would be best

Let's just enjoy another night
In the darkening town
