Lyrics and translation Junichi Inagaki - 恋するカレン

恋するカレン

キャンドルを暗くして
スローな曲がかかると
君が彼の背中に
手をまわし 踊るのを 壁で見ていたよ

振られるとわかるまで
何秒かかっただろう
誰か話しかけても
ぼくの眼は上の空 君に釘づけさ

Oh! KAREN 浜辺の濡れた砂の上で
抱きあう幻を笑え
Oh! KAREN 淋しい片想いだけが
今も淋しいこの胸を責めるよ

ふと眼があうたびせつない色の
まぶたを伏せて 頬は 彼の肩の上

かたちのない優しさ
それよりも 見せかけの魅力を選んだ

Oh! KAREN 誰より君を愛していた
心を知りながら捨てる
Oh! KAREN 振られたぼくより哀しい
そうさ哀しい女だね君は...

Karen in Love

Candles growing dim
As slow music starts to play
With his arms around you now
You dance with him while I watch on

How many seconds before I knew
The truth of what was happening
Even if someone spoke to me
My eyes remain up in the sky, focused only on you

Oh! KAREN On the shore, upon the damp sand
I laugh when fantasizing about us embracing
Oh! KAREN I may only love you from afar
But I still blame my miserable heart on you today

Then suddenly our eyes meet with sadness in yours
You refuse to meet my gaze and rest your cheek on his shoulder

You have a formless kindness
Yet you chose someone with a superficial charm

Oh! KAREN I loved you more than anyone else
I abandoned it, even though I knew what was in your heart
Oh! KAREN You're more pitiful than I am after being rejected
Yes, you're a pitiful woman...
