Saucy Dog mentions a cigarette that burns at night, and artist references a wet towel hanging at eight. The translation of ‘You pretend not to notice. I despise the cigarette you light’ shows direct complaint. Artist repeats a pleading line that asks not to cry in their arms.
Atama ja wakatte itemoEven if I understand it in my head,
Kokoro ga oitsukanaimy heart just can’t catch up.
Karada wa shinpuru na no neBodies are so simple, aren’t they?
Otoko nara naosara ne aaEspecially for a guy, ah.
Yoru na yoru na yurayuraide moNight after night, I waver back and forth,
Mada ni kimi ga ichibanbut you’re still the one I want most.
Saite de daisuki dattaYou were the worst, yet I loved you so much.
Nande kana mukatsuku wa mouI wonder why? It really pisses me off now.
Wasurechaitai no niEven though I want to forget it all,
Zutto kizutsukerarete bakka datta no niand though I’ve been nothing but hurt…
Shinderera booi zero ji o mawatteCinderella Boy, as the clock strikes past midnight,
Ude no naka de atashi o nakasenaidedon’t make me cry while I’m in your arms.
Kizukanai furi o shite sono mamaYou pretend not to notice, just like that,

Chirakatta heya ni wa hitoriI’m all alone in this messy room,
Mata karada yurushite shimatta naand I’ve gone and given you my body again.
