First Kiss Lyrics English Translation by Rikon
The poet mentions chasing a love at ‘an impossible speed,’ promising to stay together despite the changing world. A key line reads, ‘Even the words that remain unspoken, if only I could tell you right now.’ The performer brings a warm and touching tone to this declaration.
Aenai toki no nagare moEven the flow of time when we couldn’t meet,
Ima sugu ni torimodosetaraif only I could take it back right now.
Kono mama kimi o oikaketeI’ll chase after you just like this,
Dare ni mo tomerarenai yoand no one will be able to stop me.
Arienai speed deAt an impossible speed,
Kawaru kono sekai demo itsu datte tomo nieven in this changing world, I’ll always be with you.
Ienai mama no kotoba moEven the words that remain unspoken,
Ima sugu ni tsutaeraretaraif only I could tell you right now.
Kitto mata deatta koro noI wonder if we could go back,
Futari ni modoreru no kanato the way we were when we first met.
Itsu demo soba ni ita noniEven though you were always by my side,
Doushite kizuikenakatta nowhy didn’t I realize it?
Nanigenai serifu gaThose casual words you said,
Mune o tsukisashite wa itamu n’ da yo ima mostill pierce my chest and ache even now.
Konna ni mo itoshiku omoeru no waI’ve realized that you’re the only one,
Kimi dake da to wakatta n’ daI could ever love this deeply.
Saigo made kimi no tonari ni iraretaraIf I could just stay by your side until the very end,
Nani mo iranaiI wouldn’t need anything else.
Kono mama toki ga nagareteIf time just keeps flowing like this,
Subete o wasureru kurai narato the point where I forget everything,
Sugu ni demo kimi o oikaketeI’ll chase after you right away,
Dare ni mo tomerarenai yoand no one will be able to stop me.
Arienai speed deAt an impossible speed,
Kawaru kono sekai demo itsu datte tomo nieven in this changing world, I’ll always be with you.
