男と女 [Otoko to onna] [English translation]

I fall in love only with the ones I love

I trail behind everything of yours

A love as though it exists just for the sake of existing

as our eyes stop and lock together with adoration only

The one I was looking for

I finally met

It hurts not to turn around and look back at it

A man and a woman that are not in the passing love

A man and a woman that are not in the passing love

This time, in the present right in this time

anything about tomorrow

I won't let come to my mind

I just wish for you to feel what I'm trying to tell you

It feels oh so bitter in my heart but it's just a passing love

There are tears falling down from my eyes

And although I'm sad

each time a meeting between us comes

it's like our end is concealed ー I need you

Loving someone and being loved by someone

has opened so many doors for me until now

And I believe once we meet again everything before our eyes

will be just the truth and nothing more

I understand the look in your eyes

if we escaped from everything and danced now

The warmth we felt when we came alive

won't be here anymore

A man and a woman that are not in the passing love

There will always be time for that

Even if our loves

were to be put together this tightly

They can't be felt if they're looking at separate heavens

It feels oh so bitter in my heart but it's just a passing love

Your voice gently speaks to me

And although I'm sad

just thinking it's you being nice

would not be enough ー I need you

Those fingers of yours that softly touched me feel so warm

With those fingers of yours I want to return the clumsiness of the wind and go past that which awaits after our bravery, yeah

A man and a woman that are not in the passing love

This time, in the present right in this time

anything about tomorrow

I won't let come to my mind

I just wish for you to feel what I'm trying to tell you

It feels oh so bitter in my heart but it's just a passing love

There are tears falling down from my eyes

And although I'm sad

each time a meeting between us comes

it's like our end is concealed ー I need you

I need you

I need you

I need you
