Aishiteru no ni, aisenai ~Otoko gokoro no uta~ – 8utterfly

愛してるのに、愛せない ～男心のうた～ (Aishiteru no ni, aisenai ~Otoko gokoro no uta~) – I love you, but I can’t love you ~Song of a man’s heart~

from DRAMA mini-album.

——

I kissed you gently, so gently
If you cry like that, I can’t let go of your hand
My heart is at a loss, unable to find a voice
But we can no longer look at each other

So many things I want to say
And I said them, but
What I wanted to deliver
Was only one thing

Love, love, love, where has it gone?
If I say sorry
Can it come back?

Love, love, love, where has it gone?
I love you, but
I can’t love you anymore

Crying, you punched me lightly
On the chest, saying “how convenient for you”

I used to embrace you so many times
But now I need to let go

Why did we go wrong?
From the very start
Maybe I shouldn’t
Have ever met you?

Love, love, love, where has it gone?
If I say sorry
Can it come back?

Love, love, love, where has it gone?
I love you, but
I can’t love you anymore

I always relied on you
Always ran away
I didn’t plan to change
It’s all my fault
So this weak self can no longer love you

Love, love, love, where has it gone?
If I say sorry
Can it come back?

Love, love, love, where has it gone?
I love you, but
I can’t love you anymore

Umare kawattemo ~Sono te wo sagashite~ – 8utterfly

生まれ変わっても ～その手を探して～ (Umare kawattemo ~Sono te wo sagashite~) – Even if I’m reborn ~I’ll search for your hand~

from DRAMA mini-album.

——

Until your hand gently caresses
My blown-dried hair, I can’t go home

One history ends
I like that story
Because I’ll forget it soon
Tell it to me again and again

Even if I’m reborn, I’ll go to find you
No matter if time gets in my way
Surely, I’ll search
For your hand
Following my memories

The rain falling outside the window
Overlaps with your heartbeat

I hear the phone from faraway
A sign of goodbye
My heart calls out even now
It’s still hurting here

If I’m reborn and run away from you
Capture my hand someday
Even if this world is fiction
Find me

Even if I’m reborn, I’ll go to find you
No matter if time gets in my way
Even if I’m reborn, I’ll go to find you
No matter if time gets in my way

Surely, I’ll search
For your hand and grasp it
Following my memories…

Tomodachi ijou, koibito miman – 8utterfly

友達以上、恋人未満。 (Tomodachi ijou, koibito miman.) – More than friends, not yet lovers.

from DRAMA mini-album.

——

More than friends, not yet lovers.
Just what
Do you think of me?
Feelings of love
Seize only me
Your kindness every time
Makes me so happy it hurts

Hey, what’s up with you so late at night?
Suddenly coming to meet me
Bringing anticipation

Hey, why are you talking about that?
It makes me want to blurt out that I love you

Every time we share a laugh (I love you…)
Every time we almost touch (I love you…)

More than friends, not yet lovers.
Just what
Do you think of me?
Feelings of love
Seize only me
Your kindness every time
Makes me so happy it hurts

Hey, sometimes you stop contacting me
And I get worried about you

Hey, but you’ll come back to me
Don’t go away anymore
I want you here

All your weaknesses (I love you…)
Though I can’t rely on you (I love you…)

More than friends, not yet lovers.
Just what
Do you think of me?
Feelings of love
Seize only me
Your kindness every time
Makes me so happy…

When will I see you next?
Are you going home already?
Every time small memories accumulate
So painful, so painful
Until I can’t hear anything
If you can embrace me now…

More than friends, not yet lovers.
Just what
Do you think of me?
Feelings of love
Seize only me
Your kindness every time
Makes me so happy it hurts

Emi ~Hontou no tomodachi~ – 8utterfly

エミ ～本当の友だち～ (Emi ~Hontou no tomodachi~) – Emi ~True friend~

from DRAMA mini-album.

Whenever you want to cry, just cry
Hello Hello, Emi
Share your painful feelings with me a little
Hey, are you ok? Emi

If Emi cries, I’ll cry too
Hello, Emi, Emi…
We shall shine brighter still
oh oh, shine…

Hey, I’ve told you before, right?
That guy is just manipulating you, right?
I know you like him, but watching you hurts me

I want to say “Break up already!”, I want to call him for Emi
Come to my place for awhile? Just come with a change of clothes

We’ll talk all night until you cheer up again
Emi is only Emi, there’s no replacement for Emi
For me

Whenever you want to cry, just cry
Hello Hello, Emi
Share your painful feelings with me a little
Hey, are you ok? Emi

If Emi cries, I’ll cry too
Hello, Emi, Emi…
We shall shine brighter still
oh oh, shine…

Hey, the first time we played together
Was that day we had supplementary classes during summer vacation
Just because she was Emi, I felt strangely nervous

But she’s gotten a boyfriend, and I don’t see her lately
We were only connected through texts and LINE

Emi, who doesn’t show it even when she’s in pain
Until Emi finishes her story, until Emi calms down
Tomorrow, don’t come…

Whenever you want to cry, just cry
Hello Hello, Emi
Share your painful feelings with me a little
Hey, are you ok? Emi

If Emi cries, I’ll cry too
Hello, Emi, Emi…
We shall shine
Brighter still

Because she is my precious friend
I get frustrated with her at times
But, I want Emi to always
Always, always, always
Smile…

Whenever you want to cry, just cry
Hello Hello, Emi
Share your painful feelings with me a little
Hey, are you ok? Emi

If Emi cries, I’ll cry too
Hello, Emi, Emi…
We shall shine brighter still
oh oh, shine…

oh oh, shine…

Mada… omoide shashin ~Koibito datta.~ – 8utterfly

まだ…思いで写真 ～恋人だった。～ (Mada… omoide shashin ~Koibito datta.~) – Not yet… Memorial photographs ~We were lovers.~

from DRAMA mini-album.

——

My heart clenched up again
The feelings have not stopped yet
I need to forget, need to forget… impatient

Memorial photographs of the two of us
Have you already deleted them…?
I haven’t done it yet.

Not yet… Not yet…
ah… Not yet…

Photos of birthdays, photos of fireworks
We were always smiling in them
I need to forget those joyful days
Won’t forget that we were lovers.
We were lovers…

To always be with you
To grow old with you
I’d decided that in my heart

And I wanted, someday, for two of us
To look through this album
And laugh…

Not yet… No…
ah… Not yet…

Photos of you sleeping, photos of funny faces
We were always smiling in them
I need to forget those joyful days
Won’t forget that we were lovers.

Matching gloves
Toothbrushes and cutlery…
I need to throw them all away
I need to throw them now…

Unable to say thank you
I mean, that just felt
Like it would really be the end
So I just cried
I should have said it straight
I should have said it straight
Thank you for being my lover…

Photos of our wedding, photos with our children
I wanted to take those with you in the future
I need to forget those joyful days
Won’t forget that we were lovers.
We were lovers…
