Текст и перевод песни Ayumi Hamasaki - FRIEND II

FRIEND II

今頃やっと気付いたのは
優しくしてくれた事じゃなくて
大切にしてくれてた事じゃなくて

本当は負けそうな日もあって
不安に押しつぶされる前に
私へのSOSを出してたんだね

君のコトなら全て何でも解っている
様なつもりでいた

ずっと待たせてたねいつになれば戻るのかさえ
わからない様な私を信じ続けて朝が来ても
君の辛さも知らずにごめんね

あの頃たったひとつでも
何かをしてあげられただろうか
そんな風に悔やみ出すときりがなくて

君の事なら全て何でも解っている
様な気でいたのに

ずっと待ってくれたいつになれば戻るのかさえ
わからない様な私をそれでも信じようとしてた
君の気持ちも知らずにごめんね

君の幸せそうな笑顔がこぼれていた
日々はまた来るだろう

ずっと待たせたけど やがて時が経っていったなら
他の誰にも負けない最高の仲になっていたい
深い絆が出来ると祈って

FRIEND II

Only now have I realized
Not just that you were kind to me
But that you valued me as well

That you also had days you were going to lose
And so before you were crushed by worry
You sent me an SOS

I thought I knew everything about you
Like I knew you inside out

I kept you waiting for so long, you didn't know when I'd come back
You kept believing in me, even when I didn't know myself
I'm so sorry I didn't know how hard it was for you too

Back then, even just one thing
Was there anything I could have done for you?
I keep regretting it, and there's no end in sight

I thought I knew everything about you
Like I knew you inside out

You kept waiting for me, you didn't know when I'd come back
Even so, you kept trying to believe in me
I'm sorry I didn't know how you felt either

The days when your smile overflowed with happiness
Will come again

I kept you waiting for so long, but as time goes on
I want us to become the best of friends, closer than anyone else
I pray that our bond will grow strong
