Kokoro no Sakebi wo Uta ni Shitemita (“I Tried Writing a Song Based on What My Heart Is Screaming”)
“If I tried and put what my heart is screaming into a song, would it get through to you? I’ve never shown anyone all of me before.”
OR: The tongue-tied process of confessing to a close friend.
anata no kawari wa doko ni mo nai kedo
watashi no kawari wa iru mitai da ne
No one could ever take your place, but
It sure seems like someone could take mine
「akaruku tanoshiku egao ga ii ne」to
saikin nandaka homerareteru ki ga
shinai to iu no mo yokunai yo ne AH
“You’re bright, fun, and you’ve got a great smile”
For some reason lately, hearing that doesn’t feel like
A compliment—that’s not good, is it? AH
kodoku na yoru wa atsumatte kuru
kao ga mienai bun oshaberi desu
The lonely nights keep piling up
The more I can’t see your face, the more I chatter away
kokoro no sakebi wo uta ni shitemitara
tsutawaru kashira
dare ni mo miseta koto nai
All of me
If I tried and put what my heart is screaming into a song
Would it get through to you?
It’s something I’ve never shown anyone,
All of me
kokoro no sasae wa tatta hitotsu dake
anata anata de
bimyou na kyorikan no mama aishiteru
There’s only one thing that anchors my heart
You, being you
Even as this complicated feeling of distance between us continues, I love you
anata ni kore ijou chikadzukenai no wa
kirawarenai you ni watashi ga katte ni
tsukutteru koto mo wakatteru no AH
Not getting any closer to you than this
Is a situation that I myself created
Because I don’t want you to hate me—I’m also aware of that AH
namida no jibun ni hitatteru
asu no ichigenme saborou ka na
I’m drowning myself in my own tears
Maybe I’ll skip my first class tomorrow
kokoro no sakebi wo moji ni okoshitara
kekkou sugoi wa
dare ni mo miseta koto nai
All of me
If I were to transcribe what my heart is screaming, into written words
It’d be pretty incredible
It’s something that I’ve never shown anyone,
All of me
yappari kotae wa tatta hitotsu dake
anata anata de
zutto zutto issho nara ii na aishiteru
Just as I thought, there’s only one answer
You, you
I wish we’ll always, always be together I love you
kokoro no sakebi wo uta ni shitemitara
tsutawaru kashira
dare ni mo miseta koto nai
All of me
If I tried and put what my heart is screaming into a song
Would it get through to you?
It’s something I’ve never shown anyone,
All of me
kokoro no sasae wa tatta hitotsu dake
anata anata de
bimyou na kyorikan no mama aishiteru
There’s only one thing that anchors my heart:
You, being you
Even as this complicated feeling of distance continues, I love you
