RENAI KOUISHOU Meaning & Lyrics (7Co)
The songwriter mentions small details like ‘kinpira’ sauteed burdock root rotting in the fridge and Setagaya Park to show the remnants of a broken relationship. One line stands out: ‘Tonight it’s just sleepin’, eatin’, workin’.’ This phrase captures the monotony that follows heartbreak.
Itsu kara darou watashi janai no nande yoSince when was it not me? Why is that?
Isshou nokorisou kono koi no kouishouThese aftereffects of love feel like they’ll last a lifetime.
Ittai nanna no suki janai nara itte yoWhat’s the deal? If you don’t love me, just say it.
Iine wakarete mo kun wa hitori janai karaMust be nice, ’cause even if we break up, you aren’t alone.
Nee kun wa sa ashita ni nattaraHey, I wonder if you’ll just
Zenbu wasurete shimau no darou kaforget everything once tomorrow comes?
Nee kun wa sa reizouko no kinpiraHey, I bet you’ll just let that ‘kinpira’ ‘sauteed burdock root’
Kusarasete sutetchau n darou narot in the fridge and throw it away.
Nee watashi wa sa nantonaku wakattetaHey, I somehow already knew
Tabako yameta no ano ko no tame deshoyou quit smoking for that other girl, didn’t you?
Gomen arigatou‘Sorry’ and ‘thank you,’
Saigo made no uso tappa ni tsumekondaI packed those final lies away into a plastic container.
Konya wa sleepin’ eatin’ workin’Tonight it’s just sleepin’, eatin’, workin’
Ashita mo sleepin’ eatin’ workin’And tomorrow too, sleepin’, eatin’, workin’.
Sayonara kiete yo koiGoodbye, just disappear, love.
Tada dare yori sleepin’ eatin’ workin’More than anyone, I’m just sleepin’, eatin’, workin’.
Nee kun wa sa ashita ni nattaraHey, I wonder if you’ll just
Zenbu wasurete shimau no darou kaforget everything once tomorrow comes?
Nee watashi wa sa wakaretara shinu karaHey, I can’t even say things like
Nante ienai ieru hodo‘I’ll die if we break up,’ though;
Motto aishite ireba yokatta naI wish I’d just loved you even more.
Itsu kara darou watashi janai no nande yoSince when was it not me? Why is that?
Isshou nokorisou kono koi no kouishouThese aftereffects of love feel like they’ll last a lifetime.
Ittai nanna no suki janai nara itte yoWhat’s the deal? If you don’t love me, just say it.
Iine wakarete mo kun wa hitori janai karaMust be nice, ’cause even if we break up, you aren’t alone.
Konya wa sleepin’ eatin’ workin’Tonight it’s just sleepin’, eatin’, workin’
Ashita mo sleepin’ eatin’ workin’And tomorrow too, sleepin’, eatin’, workin’.
Sayonara kiete yo koiGoodbye, just disappear, love.
Tada dare yori sleepin’ eatin’ workin’More than anyone, I’m just sleepin’, eatin’, workin’.
Futari de te o tsunaide aruita setagaya kouenWalking through Setagaya Park while we held hands,
Kun ga l de watashi wa r deyou were on the left and I was on the right.
Wasuretai kedo kuchizusamu myuujikkuI want to forget, but the music keeps hummin’ in my head;
Betsu ni suki janakatta bando meiit’s just some band name I didn’t even like.
Aishiteru tte itte yoJust tell me ‘I love you.’
Nande aishiteru tte kiku noWhy do you ask ‘Do you love me?’
Kun ga aishiteru tte iwanai karaBecause you won’t say ‘I love you’ yourself,
Aishiteru tte iu made kiku yoI’ll keep askin’ until you finally say it.
If you want to understand ‘RENAI KOUISHOU’, the lyrics highlight the lingering pain of love. The song is a mix of nostalgia and resilience, a perfect listen for anyone familiar with the ache of moving on.
