Description
The snow, illuminated by lanterns, falls slowly, like in an old movie, and the city turns into a postcard - with reindeer on the heads of couples, cloying garlands, and overly loud music. In this glow, you can suddenly hear your own heartbeat: it beats unevenly, like an amateur drummer, and chases around thoughts that you want to say but are ashamed to voice.
This melody is about how warmth and longing grow in your chest at the same time, about the desire to wrap your feelings in a beautiful package, but only one simple confession breaks through. With each repetition, it becomes no less awkward, but more honest. And amid all the festive tinsel, the main thing remains - the fragile hope that someone will hear.
Lyrics and translation
Original
どこかで鐘が鳴って
らしくない言葉が浮かんで
寒さが心地よくて mh
あれ なんで恋なんかしてんだろう
聖夜だなんだと繰り返す歌と
わざとらしくきらめく街のせいかな
会いたいと思う回数が
会えないと痛いこの胸が
君の事どう思うか教えようとしてる
いいよ そんな事自分で分かってるよ
サンタとやらに頼んでも仕方ないよなぁ
できれば横にいて欲しくて
どこにも行って欲しくなくて
僕のことだけをずっと考えていて欲しい
でもこんなことを伝えたら格好悪いし
長くなるだけだから まとめるよ
君が好きだ
はしゃぐ恋人たちは
トナカイのツノなんか生やして
よく人前でできるなぁ
いや羨ましくなんてないけど
君が喜ぶプレゼントってなんだろう
僕だけがあげられるものってなんだろう
大好きだと言った返事が思ってたのとは違っても
それだけで嫌いになんてなれやしないから
星に願いをなんてさ柄じゃないけど
結局君じゃないと嫌なんだって
見上げてるんだ
あの時君に出会って ただそれだけで
自分も知らなかった自分が次から次に
会いたいと毎日思ってて
それを君に知って欲しくて
すれ違う人混みに君を探している
こんな日は他の誰かと笑ってるかな
胸の奥の奥が苦しくなる
できれば横にいて欲しくて
どこにも行って欲しくなくて
僕のことだけをずっと考えていて欲しい
やっぱりこんな事伝えたら格好悪いし
長くなるだけだから まとめるよ
君が好きだ
聞こえるまで何度だって言うよ
君が好きだ
English translation
A bell rings somewhere
Unusual words come to mind
The cold feels so good mh
Oh, why are you in love?
A song that repeats that it's a holy night
Maybe it's because of the artificially sparkling city.
The number of times I want to meet you
My heart hurts when I can't see you
I'm trying to tell you what I think about you
It's okay, I know that myself.
There's no point in asking Santa or something.
I want you to stay next to me if possible
I don't want you to go anywhere
I want you to only think about me all the time
But it would be uncool if I told you something like this.
It's getting long, so I'll summarize it.
i like you
Lovers having fun
Grow reindeer horns
I can do it well in public.
No, I'm not jealous though.
What kind of present would you like?
I wonder what only I can give
Even if the answer I said I love you wasn't what I expected
I can't hate you just because of that.
It's not like wishing upon a star though
In the end, I don't want it without you
I'm looking up
That's all I met you then
Things I didn't even know were happening one after another
I want to meet you every day
I want you to know that
I'm looking for you in the crowd of people passing by
I wonder if I'll be laughing with someone else on a day like this
I feel pain deep inside my chest
I want you to stay next to me if possible
I don't want you to go anywhere
I want you to only think about me all the time
After all, it would be uncool to tell you something like this.
It's getting long, so I'll summarize it.
i like you
I'll say it over and over again until you hear me
i like you
