いかないで (Ikanaide)

Lyrics

Japanese	Romaji	English
何でもないと口をつぐんだ	nandemonai to kuchi o tsugunda	It's nothing, I thought to myself.
ホントはちょっと足を止めたくて	hontou wa chotto ashi o tometakute	The truth is, I want to stop those footsteps for a moment,
だけどもきみは早足ですっと前を行くから	dakedomo kimi wa hayaashi de sutto mae o iku kara	But you're gliding forward with such quick steps
ぼくはそれを見つめてる	boku wa sore o mitsumeteru	That I simply watch.
最終便　きみは乗る　ぼくを置いてって	saishuubin kimi wa noru boku o oitette	On the last train, you board, leaving me behind,
はしりだす　ゆっくりと　地面がずれていく	hashiridasu yukkuri to jimen ga zureteiku	Gliding away. Slowly, the ground slides away.
泣いちゃだめ　泣いちゃだめ	naicha dame naicha dame	I shouldn't cry. I shouldn't cry.
でもホントは言いたいよ	demo hontou wa iitai yo	But the truth is, I want to say out loud,
「いかないで」	"ikanaide"	"Don't go."
遠くへと　消えていく　ぼくを置いてって	tooku eto kieteiku boku o oitette	It fades out of sight, far far away, leaving me behind.
もう随分　見えないよ　夜が崩れていく	mou zuibun mienai yo yoru ga kuzureteiku	Now I can't quite see it anymore. The night crumbles apart.
泣いちゃだめ　泣いちゃだめ	naicha dame naicha dame	I shouldn't cry. I shouldn't cry.
でもホントは言いたいよ	demo hontou wa iitai yo	But the truth is, I want to say out loud,
「いかないで」	"ikanaide"	"Don't go."
祭りも終わればいつもと同じ	matsuri mo owareba itsumo to onaji	When the festival is over, everything'll be the same.
変わらぬ夜が来るんだと知った	kawaranu yoru ga kurunda to shitta	The same night as ever would come, I knew that.
だけどもきみはいつもよりずっと色っぽく見えて	dakedomo kimi wa itsumo yori zutto iroppoku miete	But you looked so much more alluring than usual
ぼくはそれを見つめてる	boku wa sore o mitsumeteru	That I simply watched.
時間だけが　過ぎていく　ぼくを連れてって	jikan dake ga sugiteiku boku o tsuretette	Time alone is passing, carrying me along.
帰り道　暗いけれど　一人で大丈夫かな	kaerimichi kurai keredo hitori de daijoubu ka na	The way home is dark, but I guess I'll be okay by myself.
街灯に　照らされて　影ができている	gaitou ni terasarete kage ga de kiteiru	The street lamp shines on me, making a shadow.
一人ぼっちさ	hitoribocchi sa	All alone.
遠くへと　消えていく　ぼくを置いてって	tooku eto kieteiku boku wo oitette	It fades out of sight, far far away, leaving me behind
完全に　また今度　夜が滲んでいく	kanzen ni mata kondo yoru ga nijindeiku	Completely. Once again, the night spreads itself out.
泣いちゃだめ　泣いちゃだめ	naicha dame naicha dame	I shouldn't cry. I shouldn't cry.
でもホントは言いたいよ	demo hontou wa iitai yo	But the truth is, I want to say out loud,
「いかないで」	"ikanaide"	"Don't go."
泣いちゃだめ　泣いちゃだめ	naicha dame naicha dame	I shouldn't cry. I shouldn't cry.
でもホントは言いたいよ	demo hontou wa iitai yo	But the truth is, I want to say out loud,
「いかないで」	"ikanaide"	"Don't go."
