heroine Lyrics English Translation by Mosawo
The songwriter describes a monochrome morning transformed by the sound of a loved one’s laughter. A line like, ‘The focus of my heart has captured only you,’ highlights the devotion and vulnerability in the story. The imagery of film and scenes adds a layer of intimacy to the narrative.
Monokuro no asa makimodoshiteI’ll rewind the monochrome morning,
Anata no waraigoe de somenaosuand repaint it with the sound of your laughter.
Tada tonari ni iru dake deJust by being right next to you,
Firumu ni akari ga tomoru nothe light begins to glow on the film.
Poppukoon ni te ga tomaru hodoI’m so lost in a word that wasn’t in the script,
Daihon ni nai hitokoto ni muchuu dethat my hand stops reaching for the popcorn.
Kono mune no pinto wa anata o utsushitaThe focus of my heart has captured only you.
Anata no hiroin ni naritai noI want to be your leading lady,
Taikutsu na shiin sae itooshiku naruwhere even the boring scenes become so precious.
Mitsumeau futari fureemu no nakaAs we gaze at each other within the frame,
Eiga mitai ni baenakutatteit doesn’t have to be picture-perfect like a movie.
Taitoru mo nai shiawase oA happiness that doesn’t even have a title,
Anata to egaku mikansei no sutooriiit’s an unfinished story I’m writing with you.
Aimai na serifu kikikaesu tabiEvery time I ask you to repeat that vague dialogue,
Watashi janai kage komaokuri de ukabua shadow that isn’t me flickers by in slow motion.
Kurabetemo shikatanai noni nanteI know there’s no point in comparing myself,
Fureta yubisaki ni fuan ga hashittabut an ache of insecurity runs through my fingertips as we touch.
Anata no hiroin wa watashi ga iiI want to be the one who’s your leading lady,
Eien janakutemo sore de iieven if it’s not forever, that’s enough for me.
Shizukesa ni utsuru sono yokogao gaYour profile, silhouetted against the quiet,
Nakitaku naru hodo kirei dattawas so beautiful it almost made me cry.
Kisushiin ga katto saretemoEven if the kiss scene gets cut out,
Anata to nazoru mikansei no sutooriiit’s an unfinished story I’m tracing with you.
Kamera ga mawatte inai shunkan moEven in the moments when the camera isn’t rolling,
Watashi no yaku wa anata o aishinuku koto dakedomy only role is to love you with everything I’ve got,
Dakedobut still…
Anata no hiroin de isasete yoPlease, let me stay as your leading lady,
Nanigenai ashita o tojikometakutebecause I want to capture every ordinary tomorrow.
Shoumei ga ochiru isshun kurai waIn that single moment when the lights go down,
Iki mo ai mo zenbu ubawaretaiI want you to steal my breath and my love away.
Kakikake no shinario no mamaWith our script still being written,
Anata to tsumugu owari no nai sutooriiit’s a never-ending story I’m weaving with you.
