Lyrics and translation Maiko Fujita - 守りたい人

守りたい人

窓辺でふと口ずさんだ唄
これはあなたが
とても好きだった唄
「そのうた僕も好きだよ」
と何も知らない彼が
隣で笑った
私は前に進みたいから
無理をしてでも
幸せを探したの
あなたを好きでいることは
少し苦しすぎたから
一つわかったことがあるの
こうして新しい恋をしても
簡単に気持ちが
消えるわけじゃない
だけど私が守りたい人は
もうあなたじゃない
心乱れるほど
好きになることだけが
恋じゃない
支えになりたい わかってあげたい
この人のために 私かいるんだと
思える幸せを見つけたから
昨日歩いた人込みの中
彼は何度も振り返ってくれてた
きっと私を一人には
しない人だと思った
あの夜に伝えたさよなら
私が何を言葉にしたって
本当はあなたに
止めてほしかった
だけどあなたは決して自分から
追いかけない人だと知ってて
あの時あなたのこと
試したの
言葉を欲しがる 形を欲しがる
幼い私は失ってやっと
あなたの優しさ気づいたから
どうしてもう少し
がんばれなかったんだろう
譲れなかった
意地を張ったの
だけど私が守りたい人は
もうあなたじゃない
心乱れるほど
好きになることだけが
恋じゃない
支えになりたい わかってあげたい
この人のために 私かいるんだと
1思える幸せを見つけたから
あなたに出会って
私は変わった
許し合う意味を
信じる強さを
あなたが教えてくれたから

Someone I Want To Protect

Humming a song that came to my mind at the window,
This is the song that you
Really liked
“I like that song too,”
A man who knows nothing
Laughed next to me
I want to move on,
However difficult it might be,
And find happiness.
Loving you,
Was a little too painful.
I have realized one thing,
Even though I find new love,
My feelings won't
Simply disappear.
But the person I want to protect,
Is no longer you.
It's not only the people you
Fall head over heels in love with
That are worth loving.
I want to support you, understand you,
And make you feel that I am here
For you. That's the kind of happiness I have found.
In the crowd I walked through yesterday,
He looked back at me several times
I'm sure he's a man who wouldn't
Leave me alone
The farewell I conveyed that night,
No matter what I said,
Honestly, what I wanted was for you
To stop me.
But I knew that you would never,
Of your own accord,
Come after me.
At that time, I tried to test you.
Demanding words, demanding forms,
Only when I lost you did I realize
Your kindness.
Why couldn't I have tried
A little harder?
I couldn't compromise.
I was stubborn.
But the person I want to protect,
Is no longer you.
It's not only the people you
Fall head over heels in love with
That are worth loving.
I want to support you, understand you,
And make you feel that I am here
For you. That's the kind of happiness I have found.
Having met you,
I have changed.
The meaning of forgiveness,
The strength to believe,
You taught me these things
