Translation

会いたくて

I want to see you

I've started to understand little by little

your habits and the things you might think about

There's something I want to tell you

but it's stuck deep within my heart

I've gotta make a move, or we'll always be this far apart

I know I can't get closer to you, but

my weak heart and strong pride

clash yet again. But for now...

I want to see you, I want to see you

These overflowing feelings have gone beyond my limit

It's as if the entire world has been covered in love

So let's ride together and share those feelings

I want to see you, but I can't

These conflicting feelings keep piling up

as I trace your path, so

I've gotta start running now

before my brakes kick in

Countless times, no, dozens of times,

our eyes have met

But the more I gaze, the faster my heartbeat

I wonder why it speeds up

When I'm happy, let me call you

When you're sad, call me

I want you to know all about me:

about even my weak heart and strong pride.

I want to see you, I want to see you

These overflowing feelings are immeasurable

It's as if the entire world has been covered in love

So let's ride together and share those feelings

That face scrunched up in laughter

And even that slightly lonely look

I always want to be by your side, watching right next to you

Conveying this selfish love with my clumsy words

I want to see you, I want to see you

These overflowing feelings have gone beyond my limit

It's as if the entire world has been covered in love

So let's ride together and share those feelings

I want to see you, but I can't

These conflicting feelings keep piling up

as I trace your path, so

I'm running towards you now

before my brakes kick in

Rewrote my translation on 13 May 2025. This is an insert song for the live-action movie "Kaguya-Sama: Love Is War -The Final".

Explanation of the italicized lines:
In the show, Kaguya Shinomiya rides together on a bike with Miyuki Shirogane, the boy she secretly likes. It’s her first time riding a bike, riding double, and falling in love. "相乗りして伝えよう" (let’s ride together and share those feelings) becomes a metaphor for wanting to share her feelings and journey with him again, just like how they shared the bike ride.

"ブレーキかける前に" (before my brakes kick in) can be interpreted as part of a metaphor from an earlier line (weak heart and strong pride). It's like she's saying "my weak heart compels me to express these feelings, but my strong pride (the brakes) stops me from expressing these feelings".
