片想いKataomoi

どこかdokoka遠くtookuでde　打ち上がるuchiagaru　花火hanabiのno音oto

The sound of fireworks going up somewhere far away

どうしようもないのにdoushiyou mo nai noni　焦ってasetteしまったshimatta

There was nothing I could do, yet I felt this restless urgency

片想いkataomoiみたいだmitai da　ずっとzutto　夢見なかったらyume minakattara

It's like unrequited love — if I'd never let myself dream

味わわなかったajiwawakanatta　やるせないyarusenai思いomoi

I wouldn't have felt this helpless ache

だけどdakedo

But still

好きsukiなんだよなあnan da yo naa

I love it, I really do

好きsukiなんだよなあnan da yo naa

I love it, I really do

生きるikiru、は, wa　好きsukiだけではdake de wa

Even if just loving something

ままならないmama naranaiとしてもto shitemo

Isn't enough to make life go the way you want

烏滸がましくokogamashikuともtomo　歓びyorokobiにniなれないかなnarenai kana

Even if it's presumptuous of me — couldn't I be a source of joy?

幸せshiawaseにniなれないかなってnarenai kana tte　あなたのanata no

Couldn't I become your happiness?

別にbetsu niなくてもnakutemo　生きられるikirareruけどkedo

I can live without it, technically

あればareba　ちょっとchotto微笑えるhohoemuようなyou na

But if I had it, I think I could smile a little more

あとひとつにato hitotsu ni　夢見ているyume miteiru

I'm dreaming of that one more thing

言わばiwa ba

Call it

希望kibouみたいなさmitai na sa

Something like hope

はたまたhatamata　ぬくもりってnukumori tte言うiuのかなno kana

Or maybe you'd call it warmth

生きるikiru、は, wa　衣食住ishokujuuだけではdake de wa

Living — on food and shelter alone

ままならないよmama naranai yo　ままならないよmama naranai yo

It just doesn't work, it just doesn't work

どこかdokoka僕たちbokutachi　似たもの同士nitamono doushiなのかもなってnano kamo na tte

Maybe we're more alike than I think

惨めmijimeにniなってnatte　尚更にnaosara ni　願いnegaiがga身に沁みるmi ni shimiruのでしょう？no deshou?

The more wretched I feel, the deeper the longing sinks in — doesn't it?

他人taninにniとってのtotte no不必要fuhitsuyouにni　全部zenbuをwo賭しているkakeshiteiru

I'm betting everything on what others consider unnecessary

行き着くikitsuku先sakiもmo　まだmadaわからないでwakaranaide　もうmou後にも引けないでato ni mo hikenaide

I still don't know where this leads, and I can't turn back anymore

だけどdakedo

But still

好きsukiなんだよなあnan da yo naa

I love it, I really do

好きsukiなんだよなあnan da yo naa

I love it, I really do

生きるikiru、は, wa　好きsukiだけではdake de wa

Even if just loving something

ままならないmama naranaiとしてもto shitemo

Isn't enough to make life go the way you want

それはsore wa

That is

希望kibouなんだよなあnan da yo naa

Hope, I really think so

やるせなさもyarusenasa mo　許せるyuruseruくらいにkurai ni

Enough to make even the helplessness feel forgivable

生きるikiru、は, wa　衣食住ishokujuuだけではdake de wa

Living — on food and shelter alone

ままならないよmama naranai yo　心kokoroがgaきっとkitto

It just doesn't work — the heart, I know it

心kokoroがgaないとnai to　生きられないよikirarenai yo

Without a heart, you can't really live
