DakedoBut then again,
Kokoro nantea heart is the kind of thing,
Otenki de kawaru no sathat changes just like the weather.
Nagai matsuge ga hiwai ne anataYour long eyelashes are so suggestive.
Tsumi na metsuki o shite saYou have such a sinful look in your eyes.
Inochi agemasu nanteSaying you’d give me your life,
Chotto basue no cinema shiteru nefeels like a scene from some cheap movie.
Kono machi wa hirosugiruThis city is just too big.
Big city is a lonely placeBig city is a lonely place.

Don’t you go harahara sugariDon’t you go, clinging to me as they fall.
