AutumnLeaves

街並みもすべてが

machinami mo subete ga

Everything in town

色を変えたから

iro o kaeta kara

has changed colour,

心さえ移ろうの、と

kokoro sae utsurō no, to

so I was scared to ask

聞くのも怖くて

kiku no mo kowakute

if my own heart would shift too

ただ体を重ねるだけの方が

tada karada o kasaneru dake no hō ga

Though I know that to merely join our bodies

辛いだけと分かっているのに

tsurai dake to wakatte iru no ni

is the more painful option …

君が絶えず言うことを

kimi ga taezu iu koto o

I pretended I couldn't hear

聞こえないふりをした

kikoenai furi o shita

what you kept on telling me

「イヤ」だという言葉面が

"iya" da to iu kotobazura ga

The way you say you dislike something

蝕んでいった

mushibande itta

has gotten progressively worse

その想いを伝う

sono omoi o tsutau

I've blocked both ears

両耳も塞がれてる

ryōmimi mo fusagarete'ru

that convey your feelings

一人の手に余る

hitori no te ni amaru

If I'd bought more playthings

玩具おもちゃを買ったら

omocha o kattara

than one person can handle,

溢れ出たものは誰が

afuredeta mono wa dare ga

who would have held

持っていたんだろう

motte ita n darō

what fell out of my hands?

その小さな体躯を抱える度

sono chiisana taiku o kakaeru tabi

Whenever I held your smaller frame in my arms

君に打たれた頬が疼うずいた

kimi ni utareta hoho ga uzuita

the cheeks struck by you would ache

君を愛す故のコトが

kimi o aisu yue no koto ga

The reason why I love you

君を傷つけている

kimi o kizutsukete iru

is hurting you

中途半端な受け入れが

tochūhanba na ukeire ga

Your half-hearted reception

僕を傷つける

boku o kizutsukeru

hurts me

心の鍵だけ

kokoro no kagi dake

The very door to my heart

頑なに閉ざされてる

katakuna ni tozasarete'ru

is stubbornly locked shut

踏み込まれる度胸も持たないのに

fumikomareru dokyō mo motanai no ni

Though I don't have the courage to be stepped on

君の一番だけではいたいと

kimi no ichiban dake de wa itai to

I tell you I want to be your favourite

さようならを告げた後の

sayōnara o tsugeta ato no

Tears after saying goodbye

涙は枯れ果ててく

namida wa karehatete'ku

are drying up completely

茜色に染まる歩道

akaneiro ni somaru hodō

The footpath stained in autumn red

何もナかないね

nani mo nakanai ne

doesn't weep,

ナツかしい記憶も

natsukashii kioku mo

even as my fondest memories

落葉が埋め尽くして

rakuyō ga umetsukushite

are buried by fallen leaves
