Rainy。and’s But Nou Love Japanese Lyrics English Translation
Rainy notes the weight of two hands that cannot hold massive feelings. The lyrics say ‘I’m sixteen but have no love’ to show a lonely teen staring at a tiny flickering light. The poet also mentions drifting reality like a foggy river that pulls the heart away.
Tokku ni rinkaiten koeten noI’ve pushed past the breaking point long ago,
Demo koko kara ga shobubut the real battle starts right here.
Kakurenbo mitakuIt’s not just some childish game,
Kodomodamashi janailike a simple match of hide-and-seek.
Koi no shinjitsu mo uso mo subeteI’ll take every truth and lie about love,
Kakehiki shiyou kaand start making my move.
Sarakedashichae ba angaiIf I just lay it all bare, the answer’s
Imeeji yori mo easy na answereasier than I ever imagined.
Shiko to kakehanarete yuku genjitsu niI’m drowning in a reality that’s drifted
Oborete shimauso far away from what I’ve thought.
I’m 16 but no loveI’m sixteen but have no love,
Hoka ni wa nani mo iranaiand I don’t need anything else.
Yuiitsu hitotsu no negai sae todokanaiEven my one and only wish won’t reach you,
Kono ryote ja tarinai hodothese feelings are so massive,
Okina omoi da to wathat my two hands can’t hold them all.
Ittai dare ga yoso shita deshou kaWho could’ve ever predicted it’d be like this?
Ima wa mada chisanaWithin this heart that still holds
Hikari yadoshita kokoro nia tiny, flickering light,
I’m 16 but no loveI’m sixteen but have no love.
Motto motto tsuyoku naruI’m gonna keep getting stronger and stronger,
Soshite jibun no chikara deand then, with my own strength,
Tsukami toreI’ll seize it all.
