Hide and Seek with the Moon
Yutori
Hide and Seek with the Moon Lyrics English Translation by Yutori
yutori sings about a moonlit hide and seek that creates a secret game. The vocalist notes the line ‘I can breathe because you’re here’ which translates to ‘Your presence lets me breathe’. She mentions clapping hands echoing in a quiet room, and a rabbit on the moon smiling at the chase.
Watashi no kimochi kizukanai yo neYou don’t even notice how I feel, do you
Tsutaete mo moo ii kaiIs it okay if I finally tell you
Kotoba wa sotto kakushiteGently hiding my words away,
Tsutaenai maada da yoI won’t say them, not just yet.
Onisan kochira te no naru hou e oide yo‘Oni’ over here, come toward the sound of my clapping hands,
Watashi wo mitsukete hayaku kizuite yofind me and notice me soon.
Anata ga iru kara iki ga dekiru noI can breathe because you’re here.
Anata ga iru kara atarashii sekaiIt’s a brand new world because you’re in it.
Anata to futari dake yoru wo hajimeyokkaWhy don’t we start the night, just the two of us?
Tsuki to watashi no kakurenboA game of hide and seek between the moon and me.
Anata wa tsuyoiYou’re so strong.
Usagi wa kitto waratte iruI’m sure the ‘rabbit’ on the moon is laughing.
Mahou wo zutto sagashiteruI’m always searching for some kind of magic.
Watashi no kimochi wo kakusanai de yoDon’t go hiding my feelings away.
Anata wa zuruiYou’re being unfair.
Jikan wa itsumo susunderu asonderuTime’s always moving forward, playing its games,
Anata to kyou mowith you again today.
Tsuki to watashi no kakurenboA game of hide and seek between the moon and me.
Watashi wa yowaiI’m so weak.
Anata no kao wo miru dake deJust looking at your face,
Makeru no wa itsumo watashiI’m the one who loses every single time.
Mukashi ni ageta chiisana mahouThe little bit of magic I gave you long ago,
Kotodama wa baka ni dekinaiyou can’t underestimate the power of ‘kotodama’, or the spirit in words.
Itsu no hi ni ka mebuiteSomeday it’ll sprout,
Ookiku hana ga sakuand a massive flower will bloom.
Mimamotte tama ni shikatteWatch over me and scold me sometimes,
Naku naranai you niso that I don’t disappear.
Ashita no hanashi dake zutto shite iyouLet’s just keep talking about tomorrow forever.
Kurashi no naka kawaranu seikatsu woWithin the stillness of our daily lives,
Itsu made mo itsu made mo koko de sugoshite itai noI want to spend my time here with you forever and always.
Anata to iru toki dake watashi wa watashi de irareru karaBecause I can only truly be myself when I’m by your side.
Yowai watashi mo ne aishite yoSo please, love even the weak side of me.
Anata to te wo tsunaide arukitaiI want to walk while holding your hand.
Anata ga iru kara ku ja nai sekaiThe world isn’t such a burden because you’re here.
Anata to futari dake yoru wo hajimeyokkaWhy don’t we start the night, just the two of us?
Tsuki to watashi no kakurenboA game of hide and seek between the moon and me.
Anata wa nibuiYou’re so oblivious.
Usagi wa kitto kizuiteruI’m sure the ‘rabbit’ has noticed,
Mahou de sotto kakushiterugently hiding it all with magic.
Anata no kimochi wa wakaranai no yoI just don’t understand how you feel.
Watashi wa yowaiI’m so weak.
Jikan wa itsumo susunderuTime’s always moving forward,
Daiji na hibi wo wasuretaku wa naiand I don’t want to forget these precious days.
Tsuki to watashi no kakurenboA game of hide and seek between the moon and me,
Machiawase ano hi no madobe demeeting at the window from that day.
Tsuki to watashi no kakurenboA game of hide and seek between the moon and me.
Watashi wa yowaiI’m so weak.
Anata no kao wo miru dake deJust looking at your face,
Makeru no wa itsumo watashiI’m the one who loses every single time.
