Lyrics and translation Shinji Tanimura - 22歳

22歳

白いシーツをまきつけ 背中でサヨナラの
悲しい別離を感じてた 窓の外は光る海
やさしさとか愛だとか 綺麗な言葉など
信じれる程 若くはない それは知っていたけれど
22歳になれば少しずつ 臆病者になるわ
何故かわかる? 貴方
私の髪の煙草の匂い 消えるまでの思い出ね
私の髪の煙草の匂い 消えるまでの思い出ね

やさしくもない貴方に 振りまわされた日々
遊びのふりを続けるには 夏は少し長すぎた
激しい愛の言葉で つづられた歌など
しばらくは もう聞きたくない 強がるには疲れ過ぎた
22歳になれば少しずつ 臆病者になるわ
何故かわかる? 貴方
愛の映画に照れて笑った 貴方が寂しかったわ
愛の映画に照れて笑った 貴方が寂しかったわ
22歳になれば少しずつ 臆病者になるわ
何故かわかる? 貴方
あー 夏がゆく傷を残して 風はもう秋の気配
あー 夏がゆく傷を残して 風はもう秋の気配

22

I wrap myself in white sheets, saying goodbye with my back
I felt a sad parting, the sea outside the window is shining
Kindness and love, and other beautiful words
I'm not young enough to believe it, but I knew it
When I turn 22, I'll become a coward little by little
Do you know why? You
The smell of cigarettes in my hair, memories until it fades
The smell of cigarettes in my hair, memories until it fades

Unsure days with you, who isn't gentle
Summer was a bit too long, to keep pretending to play
A love song filled with intense love words
I don't want to hear it for a while, I'm too tired to be strong
When I turn 22, I'll become a coward little by little
Do you know why? You
I was lonely when you laughed, embarrassed by the love movie
I was lonely when you laughed, embarrassed by the love movie
When I turn 22, I'll become a coward little by little
Do you know why? You
Ah, summer leaves, leaving behind wounds, the wind already has a hint of autumn
Ah, summer leaves, leaving behind wounds, the wind already has a hint of autumn
