君が好き胸が痛い
I Love You So Much It Hurts

Even after spotting you in a crowd of people
I still pretend like I don’t see you
I just want to see your smile first
For no reason in particular

So many things I want to talk to you about
I don’t even know where to start
I’m just glad I got to see you
You must be so busy

Ah, I love you so much it hurts
I want to be closer to you
I might be joking around
But you don’t know
The crushing loneliness I feel

Walking with you in the evening
It feels awkward somehow
I have almost everything I want
The only thing missing is you

Ah, I love you so much it hurts
I want to see you closer
I might be acting cool
But you don’t know
I’m so lonely I could cry

Time in this city will undoubtedly keep passing
Everyone around us will keep getting older
But the one thing that won’t change
Is the fact that I’ll still love you
As I alone remain in place
Just marking time

Ah, I love you so much it hurts
In the end it’s you I want to be with
I might be acting cool
But you don’t know
You still don’t know
I’m so lonely I could cry

カレーライス
Curry Rice

Once again I made you angry
And before long you started to cry
Escaping into the slight coldness of the evening

Guess there’s no helping it
Tonight I’ll heat up the leftover curry
And wait for you in silence

Searching for a good way of putting it
Something that sounds trivial yet somehow meaningful…

It’s like eating leftover curry in the morning
It cooled down once but you warm it up again, it’s okay
It cooled down once but you warm it up again, it’s okay

I guess I’ll head out to look for you soon — it’s getting dark
And there you were, waiting for me at the usual river bed

If you were to truly disappear forever
I wonder what I would do?
For now let’s just get back home, holding hands

No matter what happens
We’ll keep living in this house together
For decades to come

Heating up the curry, seeing there was less of it than we thought
Pretending like we’re sharing it equally
Yet hoarding it for ourselves, that’s okay, too

So, around next week, please make more
Curry rice for me, for me

It’s like eating leftover curry in the morning
It cooled down once but you just warm it up again, it’s okay
It cooled down once but you just warm it up again, it’s okay

プロポーズ
Proposal

Near my place there’s this big park
With green grass, a baseball field, even a water fountain
On a sunny day, let’s ride our bicycles there
I’m a little bit faster than you
But it’s not like I would leave you behind
I like cycling behind you, your hair blowing in the wind
We don’t even have to talk, it’ll be fun anyway
So just come over to my place

Even if something sad had happened to you
Let’s go to the park anyway, holding hands
We’ll find some bench in the shade
Here, I’ll play my alto saxophone for you
I’m no good at it, as always
So the people, even the dogs, can’t stand being around us
And then it’s just the two of us
I’ll listen to everything you have to say, even if it’s all out of order
You can take your time
See, don’t you feel a bit better already?
Let’s sing your favorite song together — it’s fine, no one’s around, remember?
I’m the better singer, but your voice is nicer
I really do think so

You don’t have to give me an answer right away, but give it some real thought
And then come to me
