Lyrics and translation 林原めぐみ - hesitation

hesitation

うれしい時には 君が笑ってて
悲しいときいつでも 僕がそばにいて
沢山の思い 重ねてゆく度
理想と現実との 距離が近付く

いつか君は 教えてくれた
思いやりと 涙の訳を

振り向けば君はそこにいて
受けとめてくれた
今度は誰かに
この気持ち返そう
何もできないなんて言わない
何か出来ること
ひとつでもいいから
手を伸ばすんだ
届く日まで

悩んでる君に 何が出来るだろう
立ち尽くしてしまうよ 言葉届かずに
信じているけど とても苦しくて
希望と絶望とが 交差している

君自身が 君の力で
歩けるまで 待っていなくちゃ

素直とわがままは全然 違うものなのに
なぜだろう時々 わからなくなるんだ
抱きしめたい気持ち押さえて
黙って見ている
切ない勇気で 少しでもいい
近付きたい

振り向けば君はそこにいて
受けとめてくれた
今度は誰かに
この気持ち返そう
何もできないなんて言わない
何か出来ること
ひとつでもいいから
手を伸ばすんだ
届く日まで

Hesitation

When you're happy, I'll smile for you,
And when you're sad, I'll always be by your side.
As we share our thoughts and dreams,
The distance between our hopes and reality grows close.

One day, you taught me,
The meaning of compassion and tears.

When I look back, you're always there,
Receiving me with open arms.
Now, I want to give this feeling to someone else,
To return this kindness.
I won't say that I can't do anything,
There must be something I can do,
Even if it's just one thing,
I'll reach out to you,
Until the day I can reach you.

For you who are troubled, what can I do?
I can only stand still, unable to speak.
I believe in you, but it's so painful,
Hope and despair intertwine.

You yourself, with your own strength,
I must wait until you can walk on your own.

Honesty and selfishness are completely different,
But why do I sometimes get confused?
Suppressing my desire to hold you,
I watch in silence.
With sorrowful courage, even if it's just a little,
I want to get closer to you.

When I look back, you're always there,
Receiving me with open arms.
Now, I want to give this feeling to someone else,
To return this kindness.
I won't say that I can't do anything,
There must be something I can do,
Even if it's just one thing,
I'll reach out to you,
Until the day I can reach you.
