中島美嘉 – ひとり

Mika Nakashima – Lonely     

Where did the two who had thrown shadows  

On a pavement in a reddened town go?  

I was left alone amid the seasons that pass by silently

That’s awkward love

In which I couldn’t even confide my weakness

If I was able to go back to that day,

I would hug you without hesitation and would not let you go

In the blackened night,

I pull my knees to my chest, and

Recall the days you were by my side

I was blind to the meanings of love,

Probably because I was too immature

Even a lot of memories accumulated in my heart in those days

Melt away soundlessly

If I was able to go back to that night right now,

I would stop you from leaving by hugging you from behind

I understand well that I’m selfish, but

I will keep waiting for you alone

It’s okay even if it takes time

I live while cuddling up to my memories of staying with you

I’m so pathetic, but I still cannot forget them

If I was able to go back to that day,

I would hug you without hesitation and would not let you go
