また会ってください | Mata atte kudasai | Please See Me Again

「また会ってください」
その一言が言えない
あなたに負担をかけてしまいそうな気がして…

夕暮れの緩い坂道を歩く
木漏れ日がなぜか切なく感じた

初めての恋は
眼差しもぎこちなく
時間(とき)が急ぎ足で
あっという間に通り過ぎてく

「また会ってください」
そっと心がつぶやく
あなたの背中を斜め後ろからついて行く
思い出はできたけど
伝えきれない事ばかり
もう少し 近くで話せたら
幸せだったのに…

寂しさの風が木々たちを揺らし
蜩(ひぐらし)が名残惜しそうに鳴いた

憧れの影は
すぐそばを歩くのに
距離が縮まらない
恋の歩幅はもどかしいもの

「また会ってください」
勇気を出して言いたい
何度もあなたに声を掛けようとしたけれど
もう家が見えて来て
微笑みながら立ち止まる
「じゃあね」ってあなたから言われたら
黙って頷くだけ

「今度はいつ会える?」
あなたの声が聞こえた
通りの向こうで私に向かって叫んでる
そう一度はあきらめた
次のチャンスが嬉しくて
「いつでも」って微笑んで答えたら
あなたがピースした

“Please see me again”
I couldn’t say that one phrase
Because it feels like I’d just be burdening you…

Walking the winding uphill road at dusk
The sun filtering through the trees seemed sad somehow

This is my first love
Even my glances are clumsy
Time goes by so fast
It flashes by in the blink of an eye

“Please see me again”
My heart softly whispers
As I follow you up the slanting slope
We made some memories, but
I wasn’t able to convey anything to you
If only we could have spoken together more closely
I would have been happy…

A wind of loneliness shakes the trees
And cicadas cry out as if mourning our parting

Though I’m walking beside
The shadow of the one I admire
The gap between us hasn’t closed
The pace of love is such a frustrating thing

“Please see me again”
I want to summon the courage to say it
I’ve nearly called out to you so many times, but then
My house comes into view
With a smile, you come to a stop
When I hear you tell me “bye then”
All I can do is quietly nod

“When can I see you again?”
Your voice reaches my ears
You’re shouting to me from across the lane
I know I already gave up once
Now I’m so happy to have another chance
“Anytime” I reply with a smile
And you flashed me a peace sign
