Mou wakaretandayo kimi to waI’ve already broken up with you.
Kudaranai iiai moThe silly arguments,
Imi no nai nagadenwa moThe pointless, long phone calls,
Mou suru koto wa nain daneWe won’t be having those anymore, right?
Mou wakaretandayo kimi to waI’ve already broken up with you.
Itsumo tsunaideta sono te moThe hands we always held,
Chotto bukiyouna kisu moThose slightly awkward kisses,
Mou fureru koto wa nain daneI won’t be feeling them anymore, right?
Tsuyogattemo igai to sugu naku tokoHow you’d cry so easily despite acting tough,
Sabishigatte yonaka ni ai ni kuru tokoHow you’d come see me at night when you were lonely,
Jibun katte de metcha donkan deYou were selfish and so thickheaded,
Hen na kao shitari oogesa ni hanasu kuse moEven your habit of making funny faces or exaggerating stories,
Mou zenbu iyadattashi bukiyouna kimi daikirai dashiI hated all of it, and I really hate how clumsy you are,
Kore de yokattano owari de yokattanoThis was for the best; it’s good that it’s over.
Saigo wa rashikunai egao deIn the end, with a smile that wasn’t like you,
Shiawase ni natte nanteTelling me to ‘be happy,’
Zurui yoThat’s just unfair.
Aenai yo mouI can’t see you anymore.
Shiranai dareka to sono te wo tsunaganai deDon’t hold hands with someone I don’t know.
Modorenai yo mouI can’t go back anymore.
Watashi igai ni wa yowai toko misenai deDon’t show your weak side to anyone but me.
I say good bye my loveI say goodbye, my love,
Kowai yo shiranai kimi ga fuete kuIt’s scary, there’s more and more of you that I don’t know.
Aenai yo mou aenai noI can’t see you anymore, I just can’t.
Owattano zenbuIt’s all over.
Owattano zenbuIt’s all over.
Mou wakaretandayo kimi to waI’ve already broken up with you.
Jiman ge ni oshiete kuretaYou showed it to me so proudly,
Keshiki ga kireina ano bashoThat place where the view was so beautiful,
Mou iku koto wa kitto nai kedoI’ll probably never go there again, though.
Mou wakaretandayo kimi to waI’ve already broken up with you.
Doraibu de itsumo kakeru kyokuThe song you’d always play while we drove,
Ima ja watashi mo utaeru yoI can sing along to it now,
Mou kiku koto wa kitto nai kedoI’ll probably never hear it again, though.
Shinpai shou de sugu denwa kakeru tokoHow you’d call right away because you were such a worrier,
Shitto bukai kedo jishin wa aru tokoYou were jealous but still had your confidence,
Nemukunattara kodomo mitai niWhen you got sleepy, just like a child,
Kigen warukattari amaete kuru toko moEven the way you’d get cranky or act spoiled,
Mou zenbu iyadattashi hayaku wasurenakucha watashi moI hated all of it, and I’ve got to forget it all quickly too,
Kore de yokattano hontou ni yokattanoThis was for the best; it really was for the best.
Saigo wa kao mo mirenai kattaIn the end, I couldn’t even look at your face,
Shiawase ni natte nanteTelling me to ‘be happy,’
Ienai yoI just can’t say it.
Aenai yo mouI can’t see you anymore.
Omoide no basho ni wa dare to mo ikanaideDon’t go to our special places with anyone else.
Modorenai yo mouI can’t go back anymore.
Sono amaeta koe wa dare ni mo kikasenaideDon’t let anyone else hear that sweet voice of yours.
I say good bye my loveI say goodbye, my love,
Kowai yo dareka wo suki ni naru noIt’s scary, the thought of you falling for someone else.
Modorenai yo modorenai noI can’t go back, I just can’t.
Owattano zenbuIt’s all over.
Hajimete deatta hi moThe day we first met,
Koi ni ochita ano hi moThe day we fell in love,
Koukai shichau hodo aishiteita yo itai kuraiI loved you so much it hurts, almost to the point of regret.
Modoritain janai miren nanka janaiI don’t want to go back, it’s not like I’m lingering,
Tada aishiatta futari no hibi no omoide woIt’s just that the memories of the days when we loved each other
Te hanasenai dakeI just can’t let them go.
Aenai ndayoI can’t see you.
Kimi igai wo suki ni nattemo heiki nanoI’m fine even if I fall for someone else,
Modorenai ndayoI can’t go back.
Hoka no dareka to kisu shitemo yuruseru noI can forgive you even if you kiss someone else.
I say good bye my loveI say goodbye, my love,
Watashi wo hikidomete hoshikatta noI wanted you to stop me from leaving.
Aitai yo nee aitai yoI want to see you, hey, I want to see you.
Owatchatta no zenbuIt’s all finished.
Owatchatta no zenbuIt’s all finished.
