中森明菜 – 飾りじゃないのよ涙は

Akina Nakamori - Tears are not decorations     

I’ve never cried  

I didn’t feel fear,  

Even when I was picked up by a high-speed car and  

It suddenly spun off at a corner of a street where the lights went out  

While looking at your red scarf fluttering with a strange feeling,  

I felt that crying is not right  

I’ve never cried

In the middle of a cold night

Diverse people passed by me,

I accepted a blown kiss, and blew a kiss back

Every time my friends changed,

Memories accumulated, but

I felt that crying is not right

Tears are not decorations

I said I like you

Tears are not pearls

It’s good if they are just beautiful, but

Tears are actually too sad

I’ve never cried

I don’t have the experience of true love

I’ve hidden tears deep in my eyes in front of anyone and even when I was alone

I feel that I will cry if I find the one I can love or my world changes

I feel that I will certainly cry

Tears are not decorations

I said I like you

Tears are not pearls

It’s good if they are just beautiful, but

Tears are actually too sad

Tears are not decorations

It’s good if they just sparkle

Tears are different from diamonds

It’s good if I am just sad, but

Tears are actually too sad

La la la…
