Amairo
Hina Aoki • From “Letters”
What is the meaning of Amairo Lyrics from Letters?
Mido describes the pain of lost love through specific imagery, like the scent of rain on asphalt and green leaves swaying in the breeze. The line, ‘I’m saying goodbye to those shimmering memories,’ captures the struggle of moving on while cherishing the past. Hina Aoki’s voice adds warmth to these vivid scenes.
Mata me ga samete sashikomu hi ga kyou wo tsugeruWaking up again, the sunlight streaming in heralds the day.
Soyokaze uketa aoi ha ga yurete iruGreen leaves brushed by a breeze are swaying gently.
Ki ga meiru hodo natsurashii asa nanoniEven though it’s a morning so summery it makes me feel down,
Boku no kokoro wa mada akenai mitai dait seems like the dawn hasn’t reached my heart yet.
Irodori ga nukenochita kono sekai deIn this world where all the color’s drained away,
Boku wa ittai dou ikitara iijust how am I supposed to live?
Mou modorenai shunkaishuuto onaji kisetsu gaThe seasons pass by just as they always have, through spring, summer, autumn, and winter, though I can’t go back,
Kurikaeshi kurikaeshi sugisatte ikukeredothey keep slipping away, over and over again,
Torinokosareta kimochibut these feelings are left behind.
Mada todoku kana mani au kana dokoka kitaishiteru ndaI’m still hoping deep down that they’ll reach you or that it’s not too late,
Demo ikanakucha sonna koto iya ni naru kurai wakatterubut I’ve gotta keep moving; I know that so well it’s almost sickening.
Kirameita omoide ni okuru sayonaraI’m saying goodbye to those shimmering memories,
Kitto subete ni imi ga aru hazu dakarabecause I’m sure there’s a meaning to everything.
Brand new days aruite ikouLet’s walk toward brand new days.
Matawari tsuite mune no okusoko made michiruClinging to me and filling the very depths of my chest,
Ame no nioi ga asufaruto wo nadete ikuthe scent of rain caresses the asphalt.
Machi no dokoka de nurete nai kana nanteWondering if you’re getting wet somewhere in the city,
Boku no kokoro wa tada kimi wo omotterumy heart’s just thinking of you.
Ikisaki wo miushinata kono sekai deIn this world where I’ve lost my way,
Boku wa ittai dou ikitara iijust how am I supposed to live?
Mou kaerenai shirokujichuu onaji egao gaThat same smile from around the clock that I can’t return to,
Kurikaeshi kurikaeshi ukande wa kiete yukufloats up and vanishes, over and over again,
Kizukitakunai kimochithese feelings I don’t want to face.
Mou osoi kana moshikashitara yada na kitaishiteru ndaIs it too late? Maybe… I don’t want it to be, I’m still hoping,
Demo wasurenakya sonna koto jibun ga yoku wakatterubut I’ve gotta forget; I know that better than anyone.
Kagayaita omoide ni okuru arigatouI’m saying thank you to those shining memories,
Hitotsu hitotsu no imi wo dakishimenagarawhile holding onto the meaning of each and every one.
Light up the haze hajimerareruI can start to light up the haze.
Hontou wa mada sukoshi kurushii yoTo be honest, it still hurts a little,
Kanashii kurai kawaranai mainichi no naka dein these days that stay so sadly the same.
Futari no mirai issho ni egaita noniEven though we drew our future together,
Doushite darou kimi ga kimi ga inai ndaI wonder why you’re not here, why you’re gone.
Mou modorenai shunkaishuuto onaji kisetsu gaThe cycles of spring, summer, fall, and winter keep turning though I can’t go back,
Kurikaeshi kurikaeshi sugisatte ikukeredothey keep slipping away, over and over again,
Torinokosareta kimochibut these feelings are left behind.
Mada todoku kana mani au kana dokoka kitaishiteru ndaI’m still hoping deep down that they’ll reach you or that it’s not too late,
Demo ikanakucha sonna koto iya ni naru kurai wakatterubut I’ve gotta keep moving; I know that so well it’s almost sickening.

Kitto subete ni imi ga aru hazu dakarabecause I’m sure there’s a meaning to everything.
Light up the haze hajimerareruI can start to light up the haze.
Brand new days aruite ikouLet’s walk toward brand new days.
