it’s okay Lyrics Translation (from “20”)
The lyrics mention a sunset, hand-holding, and a boy who must return to the sea. ‘Don’t go, baby boy,’ the vocalist pleads, highlighting the pain of temporary love. The tune mixes hope and longing, with a promise to meet again next summer by the shore.
Natsu no hajimari ni sa futari deatta noWe met right at the start of summer.
Mabushii hizashi ga kimi wo terashitaThe dazzling sunlight shone down on you.
Te wo tsunaginagara sunset nagameteruWhile holding hands, we’re watching the sunset.
Tokubetsu na memory kienai no eien niThis special memory won’t ever fade; it’s forever.
Don’t go umi e modoranaideDon’t go, please don’t head back to the sea.
Time limit ga aru no wa I know dakedoI know there’s a time limit, but,
End of summer to tomo ni kietayou vanished along with the end of summer.
Don’t go bby boyDon’t go, baby boy.
I can’t let you goI can’t let you go.
Shawty wassup iu kimiWhen you say, “Shawty, what’s up?”
I don’t want no atarashii koi waI don’t want any new love.
This summer girls only asobu toI’d decided to just hang out with the girls this summer,
Kimete ita no ni How comeso how come it’s ended like this?
Kiechau kimi ni koi kogarete iru uchi waWhile I’m yearning for you as you disappear,
Baka mitai da yoI feel like such a fool.
But mata rainen mo aeru yo ne umibe deBut we’ll be able to meet by the seaside again next year, won’t we?
Ai ga hoshikute naita yoakeI cried at dawn because I wanted love.
I wanna believe in kimi ni dakeI want to believe in you alone.
Ima ja koishikute tamannakuteNow I miss you so much I can’t stand it.
Isshun de wasuresaseta ExYou made me forget my ex in an instant.
One time eye to eye ochiru byousoku deOne time, eye to eye, we fall in a split second.
Two times doko demo iku yo Take my handTwo times, I’ll go anywhere, just take my hand.
Three times hageshii kenka mo ii mitsu deThree times, even a heated fight is fine if it stays sweet.
Four times spare time demo soba ni itaiFour times, even in my spare time, I want to be by your side.
Kasuka ni nokoru nioi gaBecause your scent still lingers faintly,
Watashi wo kurushimeteru karaand it’s making me suffer,
Shibaritsukete hanashitaku naiI want to tie you down and never let go.
Zutto tonari ni ite hoshikuteI want you to be by my side forever.
Demo kimi wa mata umi ni kaeranakya nan da neBut you have to return to the sea again, don’t you?
It’s okayIt’s okay.
Shawty wassup iu kimiWhen you say, “Shawty, what’s up?”
I don’t want no atarashii koi waI don’t want any new love.
