Mitsumete Itai Ne
words by Sakai Izumi

Japanese

Kaeri no densha wa itsumo setsunaku naru no yo
Ima doko ni iru no kinou dare to ita no
Sonna kotoba de shibatte ita
Kyoo no taido ga yurusenakute
Muguchi ni natta kedo koukai shiteru
Itsu made ga kodomo de itsu kara ga otona nano?

Mitsumete itai ne keatta koro wo
Sono manazashi ni dokidoki shiteta
Mitsumete itai ne ano yasashisa wo
Ima shika dekinai koto wo
Ima kanjiru mama ni

Tabi no tochuu de chotto hito yasumi
Kata no ni wo oroshite shimaou
"3G no KIIPAA mo tengoku kara miteru"
Kono aida no tsuzuki wo kikasete

Ano koro no furui kuruma de sunabokori kette
Hashiridasou taiyou no machi e
RAJIO no VORYUUMU agete
Hitome ki ni shite
Mukashi mitai ni
Hanashi ga togiretara KISU shite

Mitsumete itai ne keatta koro wo
Sono manazashi ni dokidoki shiteta
Mitsumete itai ne ano yasashisa wo
Ima shika dekinai koto wo
Ima kanjiru mama ni

English

The train ride home always pains me
Where are you now? Who were you with yesterday?
I'd interrogated you with such words
I can't forgive my attitude today
And though I've grown silent, I regret it
How long have I been a child, how long till I'm grown up?

I want to watch over that time when we first met
My heart always pounded when I was caught in your gaze
I want to watch over that gentleness
While I can feel
Those things I can't at any other time

On our journey, let's take a little rest
And drop the burden from our shoulders
"3G's Keeper is watching us from heaven"
Let me hear the rest of what you said the other day

Let's kick up some dust in that old car
And head towards the town of the sun
Turn the radio's volume up
And being careful of attracting attention
And like you did long ago
When the conversation comes to a halt, kiss me

I want to watch over that time when we first met
My heart always pounded when I was caught in your gaze
I want to watch over that gentleness
While I can feel
Those things I can't at any other time
