831 Lyrics Translation Tomioka Ai | Ai’sCREAM
TOMIOKA AI describes squeezing a left hand tighter as a silent vow. The poet recalls a favorite movie scene that loops in the mind. He sings, ‘I want a lifetime that seems a fleeting moment’ to show the yearning.
Anata no itte kureta kotoba gaThe words you’ve said to me
Ima no watashi ni iki o sasete kureruAre what let me breathe right now,
Imi o motasete kureteruThey’re what give my life meaning.
Anata ga oshiete kuretaThat song by the band you like,
Suki na bando no ano kyoku moThe one you told me all about,
Kikimakutteru noniEven though I’ve been listening to it on repeat,
Mattaku kikiaki wa shinai ndaI don’t get tired of it at all.
Omoide no omosa anata de shiritaiI want to know the weight of memories with you,
Kudaranai hanashi mo zenbu kikitaiI want to hear all your silly stories too.
Saikin anata no kokoro furuwaseta no waWhat was it that made your heart tremble
Nan desu kaLately?
Soba ni iru dake deJust being by your side
Ii to wa omoenakuteDoesn’t feel like it’s enough,
Watashi no sekai o dokusen shite hoshikuteBecause I want you to monopolize my whole world.
Mieteru subete gaEverything I see,
Kanjiru mono zenbu gaAnd everything I feel,
Anata ni kankei shite ite hoshikuteI want it all to be connected to you.
831‘831 (I love you)’
Anata ga suki to ittaThat one scene from the movie
Ano eiga no wan shin oThe one you said you loved,
Nando mo minaoshite aenai hi wa yarisugoshiteruI rewatch it over and over just to get through the days we’re apart.
Anata ga suki to ittaEven my unique voice,
Watashi no dokutoku na koe moThe one you said you liked,
Ima de wa watashi mo kirai de wa nakunatte kiteruI’m starting not to hate it so much myself now.
Isshun mitaina issho sugoshitaiI want to spend a lifetime that feels like a fleeting moment,
Eien toka baka mitai ni shinjitaiI want to believe in eternity, even if it’s foolish.
Saikin watashi no kokoro furuwaseta no waThe thing that made my heart tremble lately
Anata deshitaWas you.
Soba ni iru dake deJust being by your side
Ii to wa omoenakuteDoesn’t feel like it’s enough,
Anata no sekai o dokusen shite itai ndaI want to be the one who monopolizes your world too.
Mieteru subete gaEverything I see,
Kanjiru mono zenbu gaAnd everything I feel,
Watashi ni kankei shite ite hoshikuteI want it all to be connected to me.
Ienai omoi wa chu ni matte iteUnspoken feelings are dancing in the air,
Anata mo onaji kana tte me mitsumeteI look into your eyes wondering if you feel the same,
Sukoshi hidarite o tsuyoku nigitte shimauAnd I find myself squeezing your left hand a bit tighter.
Kienai omoi nante aru no kana toI wonder if there’s such a thing as feelings that don’t fade,
Katachi nai mono ni kitai wa dekinai toThinking I can’t expect much from things without a form,
Wakatte iru wakatte iru hazu nanoni naI know that, I’m supposed to know that, and yet…
Soba ni iru hibi gaThe days I spend by your side
Nani yori daiji datteAre more precious than anything,
Anata no yokogao futo mitsumete itaAs I suddenly found myself staring at your profile.
Mieteru subete gaI hope everything we see,
Kanjiru mono zenbu gaAnd everything we feel,
Futari o shiawase ni shite kuremasu yoniWill bring us both happiness.
I love youI love you
