Lyrics and translation 浜崎あゆみ - Letter

Letter

そっちはどうだい? まだ今でも
生きるのは難しいままかな?
本音をぶつけ合えるような
友は居てくれるかな?
今日あの場所の目の前を
通ったよそしたら
あの夜いた僕達の
声がした気がしたんだ
まっすぐでまっすぐで 誤解ばかりで
なかなか理解はされなくて
がんばってがんばって かっこ悪くて
もいいそんな君が好き
もしかしたらさ シアワセなんて
ほんのひと握りしかなくて
そのほとんどはツライとかって
感じる事ばかりかも
だけどねそのひと握りの
あったかいやつのために
鼻水とか垂らしてさ
這いつくばってるんだよ
寂しくて寂しくて 飲み明かして
反省したすぐその後で
楽しくて楽しくて 飲み過ぎちゃう
ようなそんな君が好き
まっすぐでまっすぐで 誤解ばかりで
なかなか理解はされなくて
がんばってがんばって かっこ悪くてもいい
寂しくて寂しくて 飲み明かして
反省したすぐその後で
楽しくて楽しくて 飲み過ぎちゃう
ようなそんな君が好き
そんな君が好き

How are you doing over there? Is
life still hard to live?
Are there friends there
with whom you can be honest?
I passed by that place today
and I felt like
hearing our voices from that night
when we were there.
So straightforward, so upright, so full of misunderstandings,
often failing to be understood.
Trying so hard, looking so awkward,
yet I love you just the way you are.
Maybe happiness is just
a handful of things,
with most things feeling tough and
maybe even painful.
But for the sake of those handful of
warm things,
we keep going, even if it means
crawling on the ground with a runny nose.
So lonely, so lonely, I keep drinking the night away,
only to regret it soon after.
So much fun, so much fun, I drink too much
and you're just like that.
So straightforward, so upright, so full of misunderstandings,
often failing to be understood.
Trying so hard, looking so awkward, that's fine.
So lonely, so lonely, I keep drinking the night away,
only to regret it soon after.
So much fun, so much fun, I drink too much
and you're just like that.
I love you just the way you are.
