話しかけたかった

風が踊る 5月の街で
輝いてる 彼を見かけたわ
視線だけで追うアーケイド
ほんとは ついてゆきたいの
 
ずっと あこがれてたから
いつか振り向かせたいひと
 
駆け寄って 話しかけたかった
気をひきたかった 無邪気なふりして
キレイと 思われたかった
だけど追えなかった はねた髪
 
あなただけに 逢う偶然を
待ちつづけて 時間が過ぎてゆく
朝の電車 夕焼けの道
いつでもオシャレしていたの
 
友達と待ち合わせた
カフェテラスですれ違うの
 
駆け寄って 話しかけたかった
でも出来なかった みんなが呼ぶ声
私を 気にも止めなかった
背中追えなかった 熱い頬
 
雨やどり 本屋の前
通りすぎた彼とポニーテール
 
駆け寄って 話しかけたかった
でも出来なかった 今日まで いちども
遠くで思うだけだった 心で時間を止めてたの

I Wish We Could Talk

When the wind swirling in the neighborhood in May...
I saw him, he looks charming
My eyes only followed him walking along the shopping district
I really wanted to follow him
 
I've been longing for him all this time
So I hope someday he'll turn around and look at me
 
I wanted to run up and talk to him
I pretended to act cute to get his attention
I wanted him to think I'm beautiful
But in the split second I shook my hair, he's already gone
 
Just so that I can meet you again by chance...
I spent a lot of time keep waiting (*in that neighborhood)
From the morning the train passed until the sun set over the road
I always dressed up and waited for you to come
 
When I met up with my friends...
We passed each other again on the terrace of that cafe
 
I wanted to run up and talk to him
But I couldn't because my friends were calling me
He didn't even notice me
I couldn't chase him. My cheeks feels hot
 
When I took shelter from the rain in front of a bookstore...
...tied up my ponytail, he passed by me again
 
I wanted to run up and talk to him
But I couldn't. Not even once until today
I can only think of him from afar, when the time in my heart stops
