Track 08 – Honne no tegami/ Letter of true feelings
Lyrics & Composition: Kamikita Ken

Lyrics:

Amaoto ga shitoshito sasayaita.
“Kyou mo hitori de nani wo egaku no?”
“Boku ga boku ni ateta tegami da yo.” to, tsukue ni mukatte warau

Ima boku ga nani wo nikunde ite, nani wo aishiteiru no ka.
Kitto jikan ga mazekoze ni tokashite shimau. Tsutaetai omoi datte.

Yuujuufudan ga kou wo soushita no ka, kizutsuku koto mo nakunatta.
Sonna tsuyogari mansai no jinsei sa
Kikoeteiru ka, kono koe ga.

Mainichi wo ikiru tabi ni jibun no yowasa wo oboeta.
Fugainai dekigoto no kazu dake, mata kokoro wa yowaku natta.

Konna boku ja dame da tte wakatteirunda,
Mitomerarenai tte koto mo.

Dare mo seikai nante kure ya shinai. Mata machigatte, kyou ga owaru yo,
Owaru yo

Byoushin ga chikutaku tsubuyaita.
“Kyou mo hitori de nani wo egaku no?”
“Boku ga ikiteita shoumeisho da yo”
To, tsukue ni mukatte warau.

Itsuka dareka ga boku wo hitsuyou to shite, te wo sashinobete kureta toki,
Marude hokoreru you na ningen ja nai to, wakatteite hoshii kara.

Tenjou ni
Mou
Todokisou na kurai
Tsumi
Agatta
Kotobatachi no,
Hashikure wo tsumugiawasete dekita uta, todoiteiru ka.

Mainichi wo ikiru tabi ni jibun no yowasa wo oboeta.
Fugainai dekigoto no kazu dake, mata kokoro wa yowaku natta.

Demo, mattete kureteiru tte shinjiteru yo.
Kesshite majiwaranai basho de.

Dakara seikai nante shinakute ii.
Mata machigatte, kyou mo warau yo.
Warau yo

English Translation:

The rain sounds gently whispered.
“What are you writing alone again today?”
“I’m writing a letter addressed to myself”
I said, turning my face to the desk smiling.

About what I detest right now, and about what I love.
I’m sure time will jumble them together eventually. Even the feelings I want to convey.

Maybe my indecisiveness bore fruit, but I don’t even get hurt anymore.
That’s the life loaded with pretending to be strong that I lead
Can you hear this voice?

Living through everyday made me learn of my weakness.
With every cowardly happening, my spirit grew weaker again.

I know that I can’t go on like this,
And also that I can’t admit that.

No one will tell me what’s right.
I make mistakes again, and today ends,
it ends.

The clock hands whispered tick-tacking.
“What are you writing alone again today?”
“Proof of my living”
I said, turning my face to the desk smiling.

When someone will need me, and reach out to me,
It will be like I am someone that you can be proud of,  I want you to know that.

I piled up
words
that
almost
reach
the ceiling,

This song made up of scraps linked together, does it reach you?

Living through everyday made me learn of my weakness.
With every cowardly happening, my spirit grew weaker again.

But I believe that you are waiting for me.
In a place that will never cross with mine.

That’s why I don’t need to be right.
I’ll make mistakes again, and smile today as well.
I’ll smile again.

 

——————
This song is really so pretty!

I still have no idea why he writes some “i” in his verbs but doesn’t read them. Like in “Demo, mattete kureteiru tte shinjiteru yo.” I wrote these though.
