20th Century Ai ni Ikou lyrics

忙しく過ぎる日々に
君に会える時間が少し減ってきて
すれ違うことも出てきた

Isogashiku sugiru hibi ni
Kimi ni aeru jikan ga sukoshi hette kite
Surechigau koto mo dete kita

So many days when I am too busy
The times I can meet you have become less
There are times when we just run past each other

会えない夜に一人で
悩み考えたけど答えは出ず
ただ何か思い出さないといけないものが
あるような気がした

Aenai yoru ni hitori de
Nayami kangaeta kedo kotae wa dezu
Tada nanika omoidasanai to ikenai mono ga
Aru you na ki ga shita

I'm alone at night when I can't see you
I worry but don't come up with any answers
But I just feel like
There is something that I must recall

僕はそれを探すため
君と偶然出会ったあの店へと行き
またあのブレンドを飲んだ

Boku wa sore wo sagasu tame
Kimi to guuzen deatta ano mise eto iki
Mata ano burendo wo nonda

For me to find what that is
I went to that shop when I had first met you by chance
I drank that same blend again

忘れかけていたあの言葉を
その香りが思い出させてくれた
あの日君に伝えた言葉
『誰よりも君の側にいたい』

Wasurekakete ita ano kotoba wo
Ano kaori ga omoidasete kureta
Ano hi kimi ni tsutaeta kotoba
"Dare yori mo kimi no soba ni itai"

Those words that I had forgotten
That smell made me remember them again
Those words I said to you that day
"I want to be with you rather than anyone else"



いつの間にか時は流れ
君と出会って5回目の冬が過ぎたけど
今もまだ君への想いは少しも
形を変えることもなく
決して色あせることもなく
この僕の中にあることに気付けたから

Itsunoma nika toki wa nagare
Kimi to deatte gokaime no fuyu ga sugita kedo
Ima mo mada kimi e no omoi wa sukoshi mo
Katachi wo kaeru koto mo naku
Keshite iroaseru koto mo naku
Kono boku no naka ni aru koto ni kizuketa kara

At some stage time passed
The fifth winter I spend with you came and went
But even now my feelings towards you
Have not changed their shape at all
They have not faded at all
Because I noticed what was inside myself

今すぐ君の声が聞きたいから会いに行こう
そしてまたあの日と同じように伝えたい
『君の側にいたい』

Ima sugu kimi no koe ga kikitai kara ai ni ikou
Soshite mata ano hi to onaji you ni tsutaetai
"Kimi no soba ni itai"

I'll go and see you now because I want to hear your voice straight away

And I'll tell you again just like I did that other day
"I want to be with you"

その言葉を伝えた後で
僕らは自然に向かい合い笑って
そこにはあの頃の二人がいた

Sono kotoba wo tsutaeta ato de
Bokura wa shizen ni mukai ai waratte
Soko niwa ano koro no futari ga ita

After I have said those words,
We naturally turn to each other and smile
It is like we are back in that other time again

思い出すのは初めて
二人で行った冬の桜木町
そこでふとした瞬間に君の横顔に
僕は見とれていた

Omoidasu nowa hajimete
Futari de itta fuyu no sakuragi cho
Soko de futoshita shunkan ni kimi no yokogao ni
Boku wa mitorete ita

I recall the first winter
When we went together to Sakuragicho (area in Tokyo)
At an unexpected moment I saw your face
And was fascinated

いつの間にか時は流れ
出会ったあの頃とは違う毎日だけど
今もまだ君への想いは少しも
迷いや曇ることもなく
そして今まで以上に強く
この僕の中にあることに気付いたから

Itsunoma nika toki wa nagare
Deatta ano koro towa chigau mainichi dakedo
Ima mo mada kimi e no omoi wa sukoshi mo
Mayoi ya kumoru koto mo naku
Soshite ima made ijou ni tsuyoku
Kono boku no naka ni aru koto ni kizuita kara

At some stage time passed
Everyday is different from how it was back when we met
But even now my feelings towards you
Have no faltered or clouded over at all
And they are even stronger now
Because I noticed what was inside myself

今この場所で君を強く強く抱きしめよう
そしてまたあの日と同じように伝えたい
『君の側にいたい』

Ima kono basho de kimi wo tsuyoku tsuyoku dakishimeyou
Soshite mata ano hi to onaji you ni tsutaetai
"Kimi no soba ni itai"

I will hug you so, so tightly right now, right here
And I'll tell you again just like I did that other day
"I want to be with you"

いつまでも どんな日にでも君の側で生きて行こう
そしてまた どんな時でも決して離れない

Itsumademo donna hi ni demo kimi no soba de ikite ikou
Soshite mata donna toki demo keshite hanarenai

I will be with you forever, whatever the day
And I will never ever be apart from you either

いつまでも変わることのない気持ちで側にいよう
そして今 想いを込めて強く伝えるよ
『君を愛している』

Itsumademo kawaru kono no nai kimochi de soba ni iyou
Soshite ima omoi wo komete tsuyoku tsutaeru yo
"Kimi wo aishiteru"

I will be with you forever with these never-changing emotions
And I will tell you now strongly and whole-heartedly
"I love you"
