Mr. Children – くるみ

Mr. Children - Kurumi     

Hey, Kurumi  

How is this townscape reflected on your eyes?  

How do I look now?  

Hey, Kurumi  

Even someone’s kindness sounds like sarcasm

What should I do in this state?

I recall good memories only, and

Feel that I’ve gotten very old

I have to serve as one of cogs of a wheel that is about to rotate for our daily lives

Disappointments increase by the number of hopes, but

There is a tremor in my heart before tomorrow

“I’m wondering what will happen”

I try to imagine

Hey, Kurumi

If time washed away everything,

It would be easy to lead a life

Hey, Kurumi

I have not shed a tear since that time, but

I rarely laugh heartily these days

My buttons were fastened wrongly somewhere, and

I noticed one button remaining

It will be good,

If someone discovers the remaining buttonhole and it becomes useful

Partings increase by the number of encounters, but

There is a tremor in my heart as I have a hope

Although I will waver at every crossroads

We desire more love, but we sing for unchanging love, and

The cogged wheel rotates, while clattering due to excessive loads

Disappointments increase by the number of hopes, but

There is a tremor in my heart before tomorrow

“I’m wondering what will happen”

Let’s imagine

Partings increase by the number of encounters, but

There is a tremor in my heart as I have a hope

I should not return,

I’ll go along the road without you
