Hontou wa ne anata ga sukiTo be honest, I really like you.
Saitei na koto wo icchatte gomen neI’m sorry for saying such terrible things.
Chotto dake sunao ni narenaiI just can’t be honest with myself,
Omotte mo nai koto icchatte gomen neI’m sorry for saying things I didn’t mean.
Hontou wa ne anata ga sukiTo be honest, I really like you.
Yokei na koto made icchatte gomen neI’m sorry for saying more than I should’ve.
Chotto dake kamatte choudaiPlease just give me a little attention.
