Namaeha Kataomoi Lyrics English Translation by Indigo La End
Kawatani Eno sings about colors matching by chance, leading to awkwardness. He asks why things feel so strange. The name for this vague relationship is ‘unrequited love’.
Hitomebore datta yo dakara kowakatta naIt was love at first sight, and that’s why I was so scared.
Hajimari ni koishite tochu o tobashita noI fell in love with the start and skipped everything in between.
Anata to watashi mazarenai no kanaI wonder if you and I just can’t blend together.
Guzen iro ga onaji na dakeMaybe our colors are just the same by chance.
Tatta sore dake de batsu ga warui no kaIs that why things feel so awkward?
ShitchattaI’ve finally realized it.
Aimai na kankei no namae wa kataomoiThe name for this vague relationship is ‘unrequited love’.
Kashikoku natta watashi tte dareWho is this version of me that’s become so ‘smart’?
So yatte shibattaThat’s how I tied myself down.
Itsumo tori no kotoIt’s just like it always is.
Watashi rashiku ikiru yoriRather than living as my true self,
Anata rashiku ikite hoshii karaI want you to live as your true self,
Baibaiso, goodbye.
Itsumo kanashii kedoI’m always sad, but
Akaruku utatta yoI sang a cheerful song.
Wakatte hoshii kedoI want you to understand, but
Wakatte hoshiku mo naiI don’t want you to understand at all.
Donna tameiki mo minogasanai to“We won’t let a single sigh go unnoticed,”
Shakai no kuki ga iidashitathe atmosphere of society has started to say.
Tadashisa no hoko tama ni itai yoThe spear of ‘righteousness’ hurts sometimes.
Mondai nai kankei de nayandari shinai karaI won’t worry about a relationship that has no problems,
Kashikoku natta tsumori ni naranaideso don’t act like you’ve become so smart.
So yatte shibatte shimatte kataomoiTying it all up like that, it’s just unrequited love.
Ikite iku tame no riaruThis is the reality of trying to survive.
Anata wa anata rashiku ikita no kyo moYou lived as your true self again today.
Aimai na kankei no namae wa kataomoiThe name for this vague relationship is ‘unrequited love’.
Kashikoku natta watashi tte dareWho is this version of me that’s become so ‘smart’?
So yatte shibattaThat’s how I tied myself down.
Itsumo tori no kotoIt’s just like it always is.
Watashi rashiku ikiru yoriRather than living as my true self,
Anata rashiku ikite hoshii tokaI said things like “I want you to live as your true self,”
Tsuyogatte shimatta nobecause I was just acting tough.
Honto wa kuzureochiso deHonestly, I feel like I’m about to crumble,
Tondetta risei o torimodoshitai noniand even though I want to reclaim the logic that flew away,
Karada wa yake ni shojikimy body is stubbornly honest.
Watashi rashiku kataomoi ni nosete utattaI sang my ‘unrequited love’ just like my true self.
