Aishiteta Lyrics Translation Naoto (Inti Raymi) | Add9th
Naoto (Inti Raymi) tells a story of love and parting. He mentions cherry trees where feelings dance in the wind. The poet writes, ‘I loved you all along; I really did love you.’ The songwriter describes stepping out a door into a world without the loved one.
Sayonara no hi datte nande kimi o motomete shimauEven on the day we say goodbye, why do I still find myself wanting you?
Sakura no namikimichi omoi afure kaze ni mauOn the path lined with cherry trees, my feelings overflow and dance in the wind.
Tagai no sonzai ga futari no ashita o jama shichau karaBecause our presence in each other’s lives gets in the way of our futures,
Kimi no tonari kara sugata o kesu yoI’ll disappear from your side.
Deatta shunkan ni kimi ni kanjita shougekiI felt a sudden shock the moment we first met.
Kimi o shiru tabi ni dondon ookiku natta kono omoiEvery time I learned more about you, these feelings just kept growing stronger.
Ki ga tsuitara kokoro o daiban ni kimi ga iteBefore I knew it, you were right at the center of my heart,
Mainichi tanoshikute nani demo dekisou na ki ga shitemaking every day so much fun and making me feel like I could do anything.
Boku wa kimi o aishiteta aishitetan da fukaku fukakuI loved you, I really loved you, so deeply.
Kimi o zutto aishiteta kimi o aishitetan da neI loved you all along; I really did love you.
Kienai kono omoiThese feelings won’t ever fade away.
Sukidoushi na no ni naze wakare ga kuru koto ga aru noEven though we love each other, why does a time for parting have to come?
Issho ni iru koto ga ichiban shiawase na hazu na no niEven though being together should make us the happiest,
Bokura wa hoka ni nani o te ni shitagatterun darouwhat else are we trying to reach for?
Kono doa o ake tobidashitara soko wa mou kimi nashi no sekaiOnce I open this door and step out, it’ll be a world without you.
Boku wa kimi o aishiteta aishitetan da fukaku fukakuI loved you, I really loved you, so deeply.
Kimi o zutto aishiteta kimi o aishitetan da neI loved you all along; I really did love you.
Dare yori aishita hitoYou’re the person I loved more than anyone else.
Kimi ga otona ni natte iku sono aida chuu soba ni itakatta kedoI wanted to stay by your side while you were growing up, but
Zutto kokoro to kokoro wa tsunagatte iku yo mimamotteru karaour hearts will always stay connected, because I’ll be watching over you.
Boku wa kimi o aishiteta aishitetan da fukaku fukakuI loved you, I really loved you, so deeply.
Kimi o zutto aishiteta kimi o aishitetan da neI loved you all along; I really did love you.
Arigatou sayounaraThank you, and goodbye.
