Description
Tenderness brought to stubbornness. Love that lacks sparkle but has patience - so quiet, a little silly, but real. This is not about passion or jealousy, but about that rare feeling when you want the other person to try everything, look around, get confused - and still come back.
The words sound like a letter written with a trembling hand on soggy paper. There are no correct phrases, only honesty: “Be free, but please choose me in the end.” And in this naivety, there is suddenly so much strength - as if love can really endure, even if you let it go.
Lyrics and translation
Original
涙の理由を整理したくて
B5の紙に書きだしてみたんだ
辛さ悲しさ感情色々
滲んだインクの先に僕が透けていた
「男は最初になりたがり
女は最後になりたがる」
名言に肖って言わせれば
どうやら僕は情けなく後者らしい
口約束の結婚をした17歳の秋には
脇目振らせることが怖かったんだ
でも今は違うらしい
たくさん比べて欲しい
そんで何百万の選択肢から
選んでほしい
だってその方が ずっとずっと最後まで
より添い遂げられる気がしているから
ねぇ浮気して ねぇ余所見して
ずっとずっと離れぬように
ねぇフラついて ねぇ揺らめいて
ずっとずっと離れぬように
最後の最後の最後には
お願いこっち向いて
(お願いこっち向いて)
こっち向いて笑って欲しいのです
ずっとずっと離れぬように
気まぐれ 意地悪されても
我儘に振り回されても
B5の上の僕は情けないんだ
好きでいる理由は少し
嫌いになる理由は沢山
だけど代用品はないから
腹を括りますかな
滲んだインクの先の自分を
肯定するだけの
覚悟ならもう出来たから
ねぇ浮気して ねぇ余所見して
ずっとずっと (離れぬように)
ねぇフラついて ねぇ揺らめいて
ずっとずっと離れぬように
最後の最後の最後には
お願いこっち向いて
ねぇ嬉しい日も ねぇ楽しい日も
ずっとずっと離さぬように
ねぇ悩む日も ねぇ病める日も
ずっとずっと離れぬように
迷いなど捨てて抱き寄せて
お願いそばにいて
(お願いそばにいて)
僕のことを見ていてほしいのです
最後の最期に
あなた朽ち果てるまで
愛し抜いていきたいと思うのです
English translation
I want to sort out the reason for my tears
I wrote it down on B5 paper.
Pain, sadness, various emotions
I was visible through the blurred ink
“Men want to be first.
Women want to be last.”
As a famous saying goes,
Apparently I'm pathetically the latter.
In the fall of 17 years old, when I got married by word of mouth,
I was afraid of making you look away
But it seems different now
I want you to compare a lot.
Then choose from millions of options.
I want you to choose
Because it's better that way, all the way until the end
Because I feel like I can get along better with you
Hey, cheat on me, hey, look elsewhere
Let's never leave each other forever
Hey, hang out, hey, sway
Let's never leave each other forever
at the very end at the very end
Please turn this way
(Please turn this way)
I want you to turn to me and smile.
Let's never leave each other forever
Even if you are capricious and mean
Even if I am swayed by selfishness
I'm pathetic on top of B5
There are a few reasons why I love you
There are many reasons to dislike it
But there is no substitute
Should I hold my breath?
The self beyond the blurred ink
just to affirm
If you're determined, you can do it now.
Hey, cheat on me, hey, look elsewhere
Forever and ever (don't let go)
Hey, hang out, hey, sway
Let's never leave each other forever
at the very end at the very end
Please turn this way
Hey, happy days, hey, fun days too
Don't let me go forever
Hey, the days when I'm worried, hey, the days when I'm sick
Let's never leave each other forever
Throw away your doubts and embrace me
Please stay by my side
(Please stay by my side)
I want you to watch me.
at the very end
until you rot away
I want to love you to the fullest
