Carry Me Back Lyrics English Translation by Leina
The lyrics writer mentions a ‘carry bag’ as a metaphor for carrying emotional baggage. Leina sings, ‘Please don’t let me go, because without you here, I’m completely empty inside.’ This line highlights the ache of holding onto someone who might already be gone.
Carry bagCarry bag.
Azukete ima wa hitorijimeI’ve left it with you, and right now I have you all to myself.
Negawakuba koibito ni shiteIf I had one wish, please make me your lover.
Lover lover loverLover, lover, lover.
Wagamama na atashiI’m just being selfish.
Kasaneta hiza no kizuYou trace the overlapping scars on my knees,
Nazoru anata no yubi ni koi suruand I fall in love with your gentle fingers.
Amai hitomi de watashi o mitsumenaidePlease don’t look at me with those sweet eyes.
Fuku ni matou anata no nokorigaYour lingering scent clings to my clothes,
Dakishimeru nemuru go byou maeand I hold it tight just five seconds before I fall asleep.
Ittai dare o omoidasu noWho exactly are you remembering?
Yume demo aitai no wa anata dakeYou’re the only one I want to see, even in my dreams.

Anata ni korogaru yoruOn the nights when I tumble into your arms,
Marude kagen no tsuki mitai neit feels just like a fading, waning moon.
Hachi maru ichi goushitsu yasashiku furerareru tabi ni namida ga afureruIn room eight zero one, tears overflow every time you touch me gently.
