SWEET MEMORIES (English New Version)

なつかしい痛みだわ
ずっと前に忘れていた
でもあなたを見たとき
時間だけ後戻りしたの
幸福?と聞かないで
嘘つくのは上手じゃない
友だちならいるけど
あんなには燃えあがれなくて

※失った夢だけが
美しく見えるのは何故かしら
過ぎ去った優しさも今は
甘い記憶 Sweet memories※

Don't kiss me baby we can never be
So don't add more pain
Please don't hurt me again
I have spent so many nights
Thinking of you longing for your touch
I have once loved you so much
あの頃は若過ぎて
悪戯に傷つけあった二人
色褪せた哀しみも今は
遠い記憶 sweet memories

(※くりかえし)

SWEET MEMORIES (English New Version)

Oh, this familiar ache,
Long hidden in memory's embrace,
Now with your presence, time has slipped away,
Returning me to that bygone day.
Ask not of my well-being, my dear,
For I'm no adept at deceit,
Companions I may have, but none can compare
To the flame that once burned so bright.

※Lost dreams alone
Seem beautiful, I cannot tell why.
Kindness once so sweet now haunts me,
A bittersweet memory※

Don't kiss me, my love, for it's a dream we can't attain,
So spare me further pain.
Please don't wound me once again.
I've spent countless nights
Longing for your touch, yearning for your light,
For once, my love for you knew no bounds.
In our youth, we were reckless,
Hurting each other with careless jest.
The faded sorrow of those days,
Now a distant memory

(※Repeat)
