Mata Aerukana Lyrics Translation – Sambomaster

山口隆 writes about the fear of losing cherished memories, ‘To not believe in the warmth I felt in your touch and just forget it.’ The songwriter uses tears as a metaphor for healing, suggesting they can ‘drench’ a drying heart and ease loneliness. The repetition of longing and singing shows the depth of this emotional struggle.

Te ni fureta atatakasa shinjinaide wasurechimau nanteTo not believe in the warmth I felt in your touch and just forget it,
Sonna koto shitaku nai yoI don’t want to do something like that.
Kanashikutte oroka da to ano hito e no omoi kesarechimai sou saIt’s so sad and foolish that my feelings for that person might be erased,
Demo dare ni mo kowasenai yobut no one can ever break them.
Ima kokoro ga nozomu yo kimi o mata aeru kanaNow my heart is longing, I wonder if I’ll meet you again?
Ima kokoro ga utau yo kimi o mata aeru kanaNow my heart is singing, I wonder if I’ll meet you again?
Aeru kanaI wonder if I will?
Kazuera reru mono dake o shinjite hashiridasu nanteTo start running while only believing in the things I can count,
Nante koto shichimattan darouwhat in the world have I done?
Moshimo kokoro kawaku nara boku no namida de nurashi ano hito noIf their heart is drying out, I want to drench it with my tears,
Sabishisa o nurikaetaiand paint over their loneliness.
Ima kokoro ga nozomu yo kimi o mata aeru kanaNow my heart is longing, I wonder if I’ll meet you again?
Ima kokoro ga utau yo kimi o mata aeru kanaNow my heart is singing, I wonder if I’ll meet you again?
Aeru kanaI wonder if I will?
Kono yo yo boku no inochi o suitoritteOh, world, please take my life away,
Ano hito o shiawase ni shite okureand make that person happy.
Ima kokoro ga nozomu yo kimi o mata aeru kanaNow my heart is longing, I wonder if I’ll meet you again?
Ima kokoro ga utau yo kimi o mata aeru kanaNow my heart is singing, I wonder if I’ll meet you again?
Aeru kana aeru kana aeru kanaI wonder if I will, I wonder if I will, I wonder if I will.
