君の代わりに ♥ Kimi no Kawari ni ♥ Instead of You

ぼくは、恋をした。

Boku wa koi o shita.

I fell in love

だけどそれは、叶わぬ恋だった。

Dakedo sore wa, kanawanu koi datta.

That love, however, was unrequited.

なぜなら、ぼくは人間で、

Nazenara, boku wa ningen de,

Why, you ask? Because I was human

彼女は、天使だったから―。

kanojo wa, tenshi datta kara …

And she … was an angel.

街の灯りがちょっとキラキラ

Machi no akari ga chotto kirakira

The lights in the town sparkle

ちょっと淋しい分かれ道

Chotto samishii wakaremichi

It's a little lonely at the crossroads

足元の木の葉に映る今日の思い出

Ashimoto no konoha ni utsuru kyō no omoide

Recollections of the day are reflected in the leaves at my feet

ため息に混じる明日の君

Tameiki ni majiru ashita no kimi

My sigh mixes with the you of tomorrow

君の代わりに抱きしめる

Kimi no kawari ni dakishimeru

I embrace, instead of you,

暖かい緑の香りを

atatakai midori no kaori o

the scent of the warm greenery.

口にしたら消えてしまうから

Kuchi ni shitara kiete shimau kara

When I mentioned it, you disappear,

天使の森に残したまま

tenshi no mori ni nokoshita mama

so I was left in the forest of an angel.

いっそ朝など来なくていい

Isso asa nado konakute ii

It would be better if morning never came.

手を伸ばして届く星なら

Te o nobashite todoku hoshi nara

If you were a star I could reach out and touch

Ah …

Ah …

Ah …

君の代わりに抱きしめる

Kimi no kawari ni dakishimeru

I embrace, instead of you,

胸を焦がす想い（痛み）を

mune o kogasu itami o

the pain that sears my heart.

僕には羽がないのだから

Boku ni wa hane ga nai no da kara

I have no wings,

歩いていくよ夜の街まで

aruite yuku yo yoru no machi made

so I'll walk as far as the night town.

天使の口づけは風に流されて

Tenshi no kuchizuke wa kaze ni nagasarete

An angel's kiss is blown by the wind.

君が君じゃなく 僕が僕でなければ･･･

Kimi ga kimi ja naku boku ga boku de nakereba ...

If only you were not you and I not I ...

君の代わりに抱きしめる

Kimi no kawari ni dakishimeru

I embrace, instead of you,

暖かい緑の香りを

Atatakai midori no kaori o

the scent of the warm greenery.

口にしたら消えてしまうから

Kuchi ni shitara kiete shimau kara

When I mentioned it, you disappear,

天使の森に･･･

Tenshi no mori ni …

so I, in the forest of an angel …

君の代わりに抱きしめる

Kimi no kawari ni dakishimeru

I embrace, instead of you,

胸を焦がす想い痛みを

Mune o kogasu itami o

the pain that sears my heart.

僕には羽がないのだから

Boku ni wa hane ga nai no da kara

I have no wings,

歩いていくよ夜の街まで

Aruite yuku yo yoru no machi made

so I'll walk as far as the night town.
