#nakimushi

Some notes beforehand: So much gets lost in translation because Rin is a really good writer and I can’t mimic his play on words in English. But a word to note is “cut” which in Japanese (切った）also means cut as in “dismissed”. Also I got a little creative with some words and the layout in English bc I feel it better matches the song.

Crybaby

Isn’t summer

almost over,

and this year

I haven’t seen the fireworks.

I tried to change

my hairstyle

“It doesn’t suit you”

I guess is all I was told.

I’ll give you more love

I’ll give you everything, everything

because then I might see you again.

The night wind chills a little,

and rustles my cut hair.

I couldn’t even say “good bye”

I’m a crybaby.

I was reading

a paperback novel

but I guess I forgot

the story.

What should I do

for dinner?

Just making it

is a bother.

I’ll give you more love

I’ll give you everything, everything

because then I might see you again.

I just look at pretty stars

I’m being ridiculous.

The one who often, often thinks about you

is a crybaby.

I’ve decided already,

to be good at deciding

but that was

how long ago?

I’ll give you more love

I’ll give you everything, everything

because then I might see you again.

The night wind chills a little,

and rustles my cut hair.

I couldn’t even say “good bye”

I’m a crybaby.

Who wants to see you.

Japanese and Romaji:

夏ももう終わりだね　今年は花火見ていないなぁ

natsu mo mou owari da ne kotoshi wa hanabi miteinai naa

髪型を変えてみた　”似合わない”って言われそう

kamigata wo kaete mita “nigawanai” tte iware sou.

あなたに愛をもっとあげる　全部全部あげる

anata ni ai wo motto ageru zenbu zenbu ageru

そうしたら　また逢えるのから

soshitara mata aeru no kara

夜風はちょっと冷たくなって　切った髪を揺らす

yokaze wa chotto tsumetaku natte kitta kami o yurasu

”さよなら”さえ言えなかった　私は泣き虫

“sayonara” sae ienakatta watashi wa nakimushi

読みかけの文庫本　物語を忘れちゃったなぁ

yomikake no bunkohon monogatari wo wasurechatta naa

晩御飯何にしよう？　作るのはもう面倒で

bangohan nani ni shiyou? tsukuru no wa mou mendou de

あなたに愛をもっとあげる　全部全部あげる

anata ni ai wo motto ageru zenbu zenbu ageru

そうしたら　また逢えるのから

soshitara mada aeru no kara

キライな星たちばっか見てる　私はバカみたい

kireina hoshitachi bakka miteru watashi wa baka mitai

何度も何度もあなたを想っている　泣き虫

nandemo nandemo anata wo omotte iru nakimushi

もう決めたの強くなると 決めたの

mou kimeta no tsuyoku naru to kimeta no

ただそれは　何時かな

tada sore wa itsu kana

あなたに愛をもっとあげる　全部全部あげる

anata ni ai wo motto ageru zenbu zenbu ageru

そうしたら　また逢えるのから

soshitara mata aeru no kara

夜風はちょっと冷たくなって　切った髪を揺らす

yokaze wa chotto tsumetaku natte kitta kami o yurasu

”さよなら”さえ言えなかった　私は泣き虫

“sayonara” sae ienakatta watashi wa nakimushi

あなたに逢いたい
