Description
The city where love speaks with an accent - a little rougher, a little warmer than usual. Even confessions here are casual: it sounds like a joke, but inside, it's all real. There's everyday tenderness in these words: a late train, soda from a vending machine, the usual "yes" instead of "I love you." Everything seems simple, but that's exactly how it is when feelings don't demand fireworks - they're satisfied with a slowly changing traffic light on the avenue and two people meeting again at the train station exit. Love, much like Osaka itself: loud, stubborn, a little prickly, but uniquely its own. The one you keep coming back to - even if you swore it was the last time.
Lyrics and translation
Original
"最終に間に合ったよ 0時ちょい前にそっちに着くよ"
メール短すぎたかな? わたしもそっけないけど
新大阪駅まで むかえに来てくれたあなたを見たら
いつもはいてるスウェット 今日も家へ直行か...
万博公園の太陽の塔 ひさびさ見たいなぁ!
明日さ、たまにはいいじゃん!!
「そやなぁ‥」って行くの? 行かないの?
何度ここへ来てたって
大阪弁は上手になれへんし
楽しそうにしてたって
あなた以外に連れはおれへんのよ
近そうでまだ遠い大阪
言いたいこと言えなくて 黙ってしまうのも良くないよね
毎週は会えないから けんかだけは避けたいし
通い慣れた道が いつもより長く感じるこの空気
御堂筋はこんな日も 一車線しか動かない
家に着く前に 何か飲むもの買ってこようか?
気分変えようとしてるんじゃん!
「そやなぁ‥」っているの?!! いらないの?!!!
何度ここへ来てたって
「一緒に住まへんか?」とは言わないし
楽しそうにしてたって
そこは内心 めっちゃさびしいんよ
近そうでまだ遠い大阪
覚悟はもうしてるって
大阪のおばちゃんと呼ばれたいんよ
家族と離れてたって
あなたとここで生きていきたいんよ
東京タワーだって
あなたと見る通天閣にはかなわへんよ
なんで そんなに笑って!
一生に一度の告白やんか!
恋しくて憎らしい大阪
何度ここへ来てたって
また来るのはあなたがおるからやもん
楽しそうにしてたって
それはあなたがここにおるからやもん
どんだけけんかしたって あなただけ
ほんまに大切やもん
「もうこっち来いや」って言って
あぁ!!! 催促してしもたやないの
近そうでまだ遠いか? 大阪
恋しくて憎らしい大阪!
English translation
"I made it to the last one. I'll be there a little before midnight."
Was the email too short? I'm not that short either.
When I saw you coming to Shin-Osaka Station to meet me,
I'm always wearing the sweatshirt. I'm heading home today too...
I want to see the tower of the sun at Expo'70 Park!
Tomorrow, it's okay once in a while!!
``That's right...'' Are you going? Or are you not going?
No matter how many times I've come here
I can't speak Osaka dialect well.
You seemed to be having fun
I have no companion other than you.
Osaka seems close but is still far away
It's not good to stay silent because you can't say what you want to say.
I can't see you every week, so I just want to avoid fighting.
This atmosphere makes the familiar road feel longer than usual
Even on days like this, only one lane moves on Midosuji.
Shall I buy something to drink before I get home?
You're trying to change your mind!
Are you saying "That's right..."?!! Don't you need it?!!!
No matter how many times I've come here
I don't say, "Would you like to live together?"
You seemed to be having fun
I feel really lonely inside.
Osaka seems close but is still far away
I'm already prepared
I want to be called Osaka's auntie.
Even if I'm away from my family
I want to live here with you
Even Tokyo Tower
There's nothing like seeing Tsutenkaku with you.
Why are you laughing so much?
This is a once in a lifetime confession!
I miss and hate Osaka
No matter how many times I've come here
I'll come again because of you
You seemed to be having fun
It's because you're here
No matter how much we fight, it's only you
It's really important
I said, "Come here already."
Ah!!! I can't wait to remind you.
Seems close but is it still far? Osaka
I miss and hate Osaka!
