translation mended
I have mixed feelings now, seeing this translation initially published 6 years ago. I am pleasantly surprised to see the lyrics written down by ear so well, even though I was so inexperienced in 2012. I am also happy to finally be able to understand even the difficult parts of the song, now that I am 6 years older. And I am just a bit disappointed with myself because after 6 years of working with Japanese I think I could understand them quicker than I did now, since I have to admit I still had difficulties with discerning some words.
嫌いになれたらいい
Japanese lyrics
いつだってそばにいたいから
愛しさが湧けそうになる
二人を繋ぐ愛する気持ち
どうか消えないで
ごめんと投げつけて
あなた目を伏せた
初めて見るような
知らない横顔
嫌いになれたらいい
あなたを嫌いになれたら
声にならない思い
胸に過ぎる
言いかけてやめた言葉
その続き ちゃんと聞かせて
何もかも嘘に見える
こんな気持ちじゃ許せなくなる
あなたを好きなのに
よくあることでしょうか
夢なら覚めて
昨日までの二人に
もう戻れない
どんな風に出会ってしまったの
どうして出会ってしまったの
心の中の渦が
抑えられない
好きならば、好きと言って
いつだってそばにいたいから
愛しさが湧けそうになる
二人を乗せて悲しい気持ち
どこへ辿り着くの
嫌いになれたらいい
嫌いになれたらいいのに
黙ったままじゃ余計
寂しくなる
好きならば、好きと言って
いつだってそばにいたいから
たった一言でいいのに
二人を繋ぐ愛する気持ち
どうか消えないで
ゆらりゆられて二人はどこへ
辿り着けばいいの
English Translation
If you love me, say it
Because I want to be near you, always
Our love is overwhelming
The feeling of love that connects the two of us
I pray, don’t fade away
You only drop a ‘sorry’ to me
And cast your eyes down
It feels like I see such a profile of yours
For the first time in my life
It would be better if I began to hate
If only I began to hate you
The feelings that cannot be expressed with a voice
Pierce my heart
What you began to utter but stopped
Let me hear it all, to the end
Everything looks like a lie
With such feelings I cannot forgive you
Even though I love you
Does it happen with everyone?
If it’s a dream, then wake up
The two of us like we were until yesterday
We cannot be like that anymore
How did we encounter?
Why on the earth have we encountered?
The whirlpool in my heart
Cannot be suppressed
If you love me, say it
Because I want to be near you, always
Our love is overwhelming
The sad feeling that we flow upon
Where will it lead us?
It would be better if I began to hate
It would be better if I began to hate, but
Not saying anything only
Makes me even lonelier
If you love me, say it
Because I want to be near you, always
Even one word is enough, so
Connecting the two of us feeling of love
I pray, don’t fade away
Swaying constantly the two of us
Where should we arrive at?
Because I want to be near you, always
Our love is overwhelming
The feeling of love that connects the two of us
I pray, don’t fade away
You only drop a ‘sorry’ to me
And cast your eyes down
It feels like I see such a profile of yours
For the first time in my life
It would be better if I began to hate
If only I began to hate you
The feelings that cannot be expressed with a voice
Pierce my heart
What you began to utter but stopped
Let me hear it all, to the end
Everything looks like a lie
With such feelings I cannot forgive you
Even though I love you
Does it happen with everyone?
If it’s a dream, then wake up
The two of us like we were until yesterday
We cannot be like that anymore
How did we encounter?
Why on the earth have we encountered?
The whirlpool in my heart
Cannot be suppressed
If you love me, say it
Because I want to be near you, always
Our love is overwhelming
The sad feeling that we flow upon
Where will it lead us?
It would be better if I began to hate
It would be better if I began to hate, but
Not saying anything only
Makes me even lonelier
If you love me, say it
Because I want to be near you, always
Even one word is enough, so
Connecting the two of us feeling of love
I pray, don’t fade away
Swaying constantly the two of us
Where should we arrive at?
