No mondaiNo problem.
Ate ni nannai shinjirannaiI can’t rely on it, and I can’t believe it.
Sore demo suteki da natteEven so, I thought it was wonderful,
Omoeru sonna watashi de yokattaand I’m glad I’m the kind of person who could feel that way.
Hara ga yojireru you na hanashi ga atteWe had stories that made us double over laughing,
Roku na koto demo nai kedo sathough they weren’t about anything good.
Itsumo no basho de matte itandaI was waiting at our usual spot,
Nanikata tomo nakufor no reason at all.
