Kimi ga Suki by Mr. Children

君が好き Mr. Children

(romaji)

Moshimo mada negai ga hitotsu kanau toshitara
Sonna kusou wo hiroge
Ichinichijuu bonyari sugoseba
Tsuki mo nigoru Tokyo no yoru da
Soshite hineri dashita kotae wa

Kimi ga suki
Boku ga ikiru ue de
Kore ijou no imiwa nakutatte ii
Yoru no fuchi APAATO no waki
Kutabireta jihanki ga futatsu
Kan COFFEE wo katta

Bokuno te ga kimi no namida nugueru toshitara
Sorewa suteki dakedo
Kimimo mata boku ni nitayouna
Darenimo fumi komaretakunai ryouiki wo motterundarou

Kimi ga suki
Kono hibiki ni hisonderu nurui dasei no nioi ga shitemo
Kurikaeshi kurikaeshi
Niekirenai MELODY ni sotte
Omoi wo kogashite

Hodoukyou no ue ni minareteshimatta
Nigotta tsuki ga ukandeite
Yogorete itte shimau bokurani sotto
Aa munashiku nanika wo uttaeteru

Kimi ga suki
Boku ga ikiru ue de
Kore ijou no imiwa nakutatte ii
Yoru no fuchi kimi wo machi
Yukiba no nai omoi ga
Mata yozorani ukande

Kimi ga suki kimi ga suki
Niekirenai MELODY ni sotte
Omoi wo kogashite

Kimi ga Suki Mr. Children

(translation)

What if I could still have one wish come true…
I let my imagination run wild at the thought
And after spending all day absent-mindedly
Even the cloud is muddy in the Tokyo night
And the answer I’ve finally come to is…

I love you
As long as I’m alive I don’t need any other meaning in my life
In the depths of night, near your apartment
I buy two canned coffees from a worn down vending machine

If my hand could wipe away your tears
That would be wonderful
But I’m sure you’re like me
And don’t want anyone coming too close
You have hidden boundaries, don’t you?

I love you
Even if it smells like a lukewarm habit’s hiding in the sound of these words
I’ll sing it again and again
I’ll stick with this indistinct melody and let my thoughts burn within

I’m used to looking up on the walkway bridge
At the muddy moon that rises in the night
As we quietly become more and more dirty
Ah, it vainly tries to appeal to us somehow

I love you
As long as I’m alive I don’t need any other meaning in my life
In the depths of night, I wait for you
Without any place to go, my emotions fly up into the night sky again
I love you, I love you
I’ll stick with this indistinct melody and let my thoughts burn within

Shirushi by Mr. Children

(translation)

we each listened to our hearts beating to different tempos
as if things were meant to be this way from the start

no matter what words I choose, it sounds insincere
I crumple up the letter I wrote with the left side of my brain
and throw it away

do you hear the voice of my heart?
It's in this silent song...

darling, darling, I've seen you from many different angles
all of them exquisite, you've shown me what love is
now you're trying to show me by way of subtle techniques *1
that your uncertainty is a precautionary border
to keep you from getting hurt.

someone makes fun of our picture, "you two make such a pair"
Do we look alike? Or is it that we've started to?

we faced one another with such seriousness
that it was almost a burden to get on with it
so much so that it makes me jealous of the thoughtless guy I used to be. * 2

no one will hear the voice of my heart
I'm ok with that, it's better that way.

Darling, Darling,
I know you have many faces.
no matter what I do,
when I remember you, it pains me so.
more than all those memorable days on my calendar
my memory is filled completely by vivid memories
of every second of every day with you. *3
we cry, we laugh
it's a precarious sort of feeling but
it is proof of you and me.

Darling, darling
I've seen you from so many different angles
even if the day we can no longer be together comes our way
I don't think it matters because I can't help loving you.

Darling, Darling
Oh my darling
Maddeningly, and vividly
you fill in my memories completely
Darling, Darling.
