Japanese

ずっと探したと 隣のベンチ 
腰掛けた
午後の まぶしい川岸で

昨日 しょげたコト 
ちゃんと分かっていてくれた

うれしかったよ 何よりも

恋人は他にいる それでも 
こんなふうに ずっとそばにいたい

せつない思い片思い 
なんにも言わずに 
もう少しこうしてて

いいよ それでいいよ 
見上げる空が 胸にしみた

急にふざけては 口笛をふく 
その笑顔

やっと 元気になれそうで

夏の 草野球 
すねた子供を叱る目が

やさしかったね 誰よりも

なぐさめる言葉など 知らない 
あなたがいい 変わらないでほしい

せつない思い片思い 
この世にあなたが 
もう一人いるなら

いいよ だけどいいよ 
友達以上なれないけど

あなたがスキよ大スキよ 
打ち明けたいけど 
もう少しこうしてる

いいよ それでいいよ 
見上げる空が胸にしみた

English

Searching for ages, on the bench next to you
I sat down

In the afternoon, on the dazzling riverbank

Yesterday, I lost heart
But you understood me perfectly

I was happy, above all else

There will be other sweethearts, nevertheless
But I want to be your side like this, for always

It’s a heartrending feeling, unrequited love
Even without saying anything…
To be like this just a little longer

It’s fine, this is just fine
I looked up at the sky and my heart ached

Suddenly playful, I whistle
It’s that smile

At last, you seem to start cheering up

In the summer grass-lot baseball…
Your eyes as you chided that pouting child

They were kind, more so than anyone else’s

I don’t know the words to comfort
You are great, I don’t want you to change

It’s a heartrending feeling, unrequited love
You are here in this world
If you were someone else…

You’d be fine, but this is fine
We can’t be more than friends, but…

I love you, I really love you
I want to be frank in my feelings, but…
To be like this just a little longer
It’s fine, this is just fine
I looked up at the sky and my heart ached
