Lyrics and translation Da-iCE - My Dearest

My Dearest

ひさしぶりに話したよね 目と目を合わせ
「おかえり」ただその一 言が 僕の帰れる場所
いつだって包み込む そのぬくもりがあるから
また「ただいま」言える その日まで明日を探せる

「大好きだ」そんなこと言えなかった
どれだけ傷つけただろう？なにも知らずに
いまだから言えるほら強いキズナが
ここにあるから

アルバムめくるその笑顔は とても穏やかで
僕の知らない僕を抱いていた 記憶を重ねるよう
何度叱ってくれた その言葉に愛を感じた
ほら「ごめんね」言える その度にまた素直になれる

「大好きだ」そんなこと照れくさくて
どれだけ愛を受けたかも気付けずに
いまだから言えるほら強いキズナが
確かに見えるよ

あなたに貰ったこの時間
いまほら感じているから
笑い話にしてごまかすけど
本当にありがとう

「大好きだ」そんなこと言えなかった
どれだけそばにいてくれた？
大きな愛で

「大好きだ」いまだけは言わせてよ
どれだけ愛を受けたかも気付けずに
いまだから言えるほら強いキズナが
確かに見えるよ

「ありがとう」

My Dearest

We haven't talked in a while, but now we're looking into each other's eyes
Saying "Welcome back" is all it takes to make me feel like I can go home
Because I'm always enveloped in your warmth
I can search for tomorrow knowing that I'll be able to say "I'm home" again

I couldn't bring myself to say, "I love you"
How much I must have hurt you by not knowing
Now I can say it, for our bond is strong
It's here

The smile on your face as you flip through the pages of my album is serene
You hold a part of me that I never knew, like a memory in the making
I felt the love in every word you scolded me with
See, every time I say "I'm sorry," I feel more genuine

I was too embarrassed to say, "I love you"
I didn't realize how much love you had given me
Now I can say it, for our bond is strong
I can see it clearly

The time I've been given by you
Is what I feel right now
I try to disguise it as a joke
But, thank you, really

I couldn't bring myself to say, "I love you"
How long have you been there for me?
With your great love

I want you to let me say, "I love you" this time
I didn't realize how much love you had given me
Now I can say it, for our bond is strong
I can see it clearly

Thank you.
