歌詞／LYRICS
～♪～♪～♪～♪～♪～
Even if our love was just a dream, how sweet a dream it was
Even after all this time, it’s only you that I’m dreaming of
Like I’m coming home for something I forgot to bring with me
Now I sweep layers of dust off of my rusty memories
There’s a certain kind of happiness that doesn’t happen twice
That’s the last lesson you taught me ‘fore you walked out of my life
And the darkened past I hid from you, not ever speaking of
Will remained darkened forever more if I’m without your love
There’s no one that can hurt me
More than when you deserted me
Where my heart used to be there’s an empty hole
Even all the sorrow of that day
Even all the tears and all the pain
Baby, I loved every single thing
As long as you were with me
In my head the bitter scent of lemon
Just won’t go away and leave me be
And I can’t go home tonight until the rain no longer pours
You will always be the light that brightens my entire world
In the dark of night, I traced your back with gentle fingertips
I can still picture your contour and the soft smile on your lips
Every time I face a situation that is hard to take
I am blinded by the endless teardrops streaming down my face
Tell me, what were you playing at?
What were you always looking at
With that faraway sideways glance that I never saw?
Baby, if you’re somewhere right now cryin’
Drowning in a sea of tears like I am
Feeling so alone you want to die and
Thinking you might have regrets
Put a pin in that unhealthy thinking
If you can forget me, please forget
That is what I’m wishing for you from the bottom of my heart
You will always be my shining light no matter where you are
I was more in love with you
Than I ever really knew
Since the day we parted ways
I can hardly breathe the same
Though we were together all that time
It almost feels like a lie
I will remember you forever
That’s all that I know for certain
あの日の悲しみさえ　あの日の苦しみさえ
ano hi no kanashimi sae ano hi no kurushimi sae
そのすべてを愛してた　あなたとともに
sono subete wo ai shite'ta anata to tomo ni
胸に残り離れない　苦いレモンの匂い
mune ni nokori-hanarenai nigai lemon no nioi
雨が降り止むまでは帰れない
ame ga furi-yamu made wa kaerenai
切り分けた果実の片方の様に
kiri-waketa kajitsu no katahou no you ni
今でもあなたはわたしの光
ima demo anata wa watashi no hikari

[@cheshiregames16]

Even though it sounds like it’s about a break up this song is actually about Kenshi Yonezu’s grandpa who died

[@xiaoyu1702]

For me the song is about a person who died and the person who loved them's point of view in the song.

[@cheshiregames16]

Oliver Hughes yeah that’s what it is it’s about kenshi yonezu missing his grandpa

[@azusashinoh6654]

The reason it's a good cover because she understand what the original version was trying to deliver. Plus , we can see that the lyrics is structured very well and carefully so that the understanding of reminiscing someone clear to audience. The feeling potrayed in the song breaks the langguage-barrier. This song is actually a masterpiece of kenshi in my opinion and she cover it with a simple and sincere gesture. You dont need any tuning in vocal and audio if the raw is in its finest. Good job in delivering the interpretation .

I love how the translation is so close to the original translation! Usually, other covers just twist the lyrics into their own it doesn't even connect to the original! But you pulled it off perfectly!
And your voice is so angelic and you got the skills!!! It's so beautiful and euphonious! I love listening to it!!

Its so natural yet faithfully stick to the original meaning

[@MichieHM]

No it's far from sticking to the original. The original was written for the Jdrama Unnatural where people are dealing with the loss of loved ones.
The concept of losing a loved one and the feelings that comes with that are wat makes the song such a masterpiece. The original is not a break up song or anything like that.

[@Chizuru94]

@@MichieHM I think they meant close to what the lyrics/translation in the music video of Kenshi Yonezu say. Since it really is like that if you compare them ;)
