Dear Lyrics English Translation by Goethe
The narrator describes a morning where even coffee stings their eyes, lost in daydreams. ‘Like a dandelion seed, like those clouds up there, go as far as you can,’ the poet writes, urging a life without hesitation. The imagery of overflowing mornings and undoing hair knots adds a delicate touch.
Anata no koto itometaiI want to win your heart,
Sakurairo no machikado deon this cherry-blossom-colored street corner.
Okinuke no koohii ga me ni shimiruMy morning coffee stings my eyes,
Ikiyouyou to mousou kurikaesuas I keep daydreaming with high spirits.
Sanpun mae made kizuite nakattaI didn’t even notice until three minutes ago.
Kami no musubime hodokete ikuThe knot in my hair is coming undone,
Mabushii asa ga michite ikuthe dazzling morning starts to fill the air,
Watashi o yoso ni michite ikuit’s overflowing while I’m lost in my own world.
