Marcy brings a heartfelt tune with ‘Calm,’ a track from the album ‘Candle.’ The music arranger, 吉田右京, collaborates with Rui Momota, Suzuka Sato, Taro Nakamura, Satoshi Kumasaka, and Akihiro Shiba to create a soothing melody. The lyrics writer pens a story of love and longing, mixing nostalgia with a touch of hope.
吉田右京 writes about a love that started like a game of tag, filled with small but vivid memories. The performer sings, ‘The donuts near the station and the rainbow-colored umbrella,’ recalling moments that linger in the mind. The verse hints at regret and the wish to turn back time, showing how love can feel both sweet and bittersweet.
Kimi to boku to no daijesutoA digest of you and me.
Oikakekko no you na koi no hajimari dattaOur love started out just like a game of tag.
Natsukashii naIt’s so nostalgic.
Eki no soba no doonatsu to nijiiro no kasa toThe donuts near the station and the rainbow-colored umbrella,
Kioku ni nokoru omoide ga hitotsu futatsu to fuete ittaThe memories staying in my mind kept growing one by one.
Imasara omoikaeshite mita tokoro deEven if I try to look back on it now,
Kimi wa inai mama daYou’re still not here.
Soba ni ita toki ni kizukenakattaI didn’t realize it when you were by my side,
Futari ja nai to dame dattan daBut it had to be the both of us.
Baka ne tte waratte modotte kite kurenai ka naWon’t you come back and laugh, saying “You’re so silly”?
Soba ni kimi ga iru dake de ii karaIt’s enough just to have you near me,
Chanto otona ni datte naru kara saBecause I’ll properly grow up and everything.
Kaeri ni wa kimi no suki na mono katte kaeru karaI’ll buy what you like on my way home,
Kaette kiteSo please come back.
Yarinaosenai ka naCan’t we start over?
Aimai na hibi sugosu naka deWhile spending these vague days,
Iro wa nijinde ikuThe colors are starting to blur.
Kimi wa kirei ni natte ikuYou’re becoming even more beautiful,
Tooku natte shimau mitai daAnd it feels like you’re drifting away.
Kokoro no soko no hikidashi ni shimaenai hodo niSo much that I can’t put them away in the drawers of my heart,
Kimi wo omotte shimau naI just end up thinking about you.
Soba ni ita toki ni kizukenakattaI didn’t realize it when you were by my side,
Futari ja nai to dame dattan daBut it had to be the both of us.
Sekai no chuushin ni ita kimi ga miataranakute saI can’t find you, who used to be the center of my world.
Soba niBeside me…
Soba ni ita toki ni kizukete itaraIf only I’d noticed when you were by my side,
Koibito no mama de irareta ka naI wonder if we could’ve stayed lovers.
Baka mitai ni kanashiku naru koto mo nakatta no ka naI wonder if I wouldn’t have to feel this stupidly sad.
Kono saki kimi wa mata dareka to koi wo shiteFrom now on, you’ll fall in love with someone else,
Sono dareka to waraiatte shimaundaAnd you’ll end up laughing with that person,
Totemo ja nai kedo mite irarenai yaI just can’t stand to watch it,
Kaette kite nante iwanai yoSo I won’t say things like “come back,”
Chanto otona ni naru kara saBecause I’m going to properly grow up.
Looking for the ‘Calm’ lyrics translation? It shows the pain of missed chances and growing up. The chemistry between Marcy and the production team makes the track a nostalgic yet hopeful listen.
