Lyrics and translation 菅原紗由理 - ただ

ただ

ただ笑って 僕を必要として
頬染めて笑う 君を想う
美しい思い出にできなくて
今もずっと...
君と僕との恋はまるで嘘のように
孤独だけこの場に置き去りになって
これは夢か? 現実か? 疑ってみても
隣にはもう君はいなくて
夕暮の空に 空っぽな心
思い返すほど苦しくなった
きっと君はもう気づいていたよね?
きっと僕だけ愛していたことを
気づかぬふりして繋ぎ止めていた
すでに決まっていたのに
ただ笑って 僕を必要として
頬染めて笑う 君を想う
美しい思い出にできなくて
今もずっと...(ずっと...) 君を...
いつからかそばにいても遠く感じて
行き場ない想い増えていった
寂しさ埋めるようにキスした日
誰を思い君は目を閉じたんだ?
I just remember うつくし唇も
I just remember 子猫のような瞳も
僕だけのもの そう思っていた
Why don't you, why don't you love me?
ただ笑って 僕を必要として
君がいる それでよかったのに
振り返る姿 遠くなっていく
こんなにも...(ずっと...) 君を...
最後の夜『ごめんね』と君が
流す涙 僕は拭えなかった
きっと君も辛かったよね?
今になってわかる気がした
そばにいて 僕を必要として
頬染めて笑う 君を想う
思い出になってしまう前に
ただ笑って... 笑って...

Just

Just smiling, needing me
Thinking of you, smiling with blushing cheeks
Unable to turn it into a beautiful memory
Even now...
Our love feels like a lie
Only loneliness is left behind
Is this a dream or reality? Even if I doubt it
You are no longer by my side
An empty heart in the twilight sky
It became more painful as I recalled it
Surely, you had realized it by now?
Surely, that only I was in love
Pretending not to notice, I held on
Although it was already decided
Just smiling, needing me
Thinking of you, smiling with blushing cheeks
Unable to turn it into a beautiful memory
Even now... (always...) You...
Somehow, even though you were by my side, you felt distant
Unrequited feelings grew
The day I kissed you to fill the emptiness
Who were you thinking of when you closed your eyes?
I just remember your beautiful lips
I just remember your kitten-like eyes
I thought it was mine alone
Why don't you, why don't you love me?
Just smiling, needing me
As long as you were there, that was enough
Your retreating figure
This much... (always...) You...
On our last night, "I'm sorry," you said
I couldn't wipe away your tears
Surely, you were in pain too?
I think I understand now
Being by my side, needing me
Thinking of you, smiling with blushing cheeks
Before it becomes just a memory
Just smile... Smile...
