Boy & Girls’s Setsugekka Japanese Lyrics English Translation

かやゆー tells of a scent that clings to fingers, a smell once disliked but now cherished. The lyrics describe an empty Camel cigarette box left behind, a small but powerful symbol of what once was. The singer admits to trying to forget, calling themselves an idiot for the attempt.

Anata To Onaji Nioi Ga Yubi Kara ShitaYour scent was on my fingers.
Tada Manete Anata Wo Wakaritakatta Dake DattaI was just copying you, I only wanted to understand.
Anata To Onaji Nioi Ga Yubi Kara ShitaYour scent was on my fingers.
Iyada Kono Nioi Watashi Suki Ja Nakatta No NiI hate this smell, and to think, I never even liked it.
Anata To Hanareta Nochi Ni Nioi Ga Shinaku Naru No WaThe moment the scent starts to fade after we’ve parted,
Sanbansen No Hōmu Kara Deta Kaku Eki Teisha No Densha No Nakais on the local train pulling away from platform 3.
Anata No Tsura Wo Tsutatte Iku Sono Namida WaThose tears that streamed down your face,
Watashi Made Damashi Tōseru To Omotte Ita Nodid you really think they’d be enough to fool me?
Anata No Nioi Wo Watashi Zenbu Oboete Iru YoI remember everything about your scent.
Mada Ni Heya Ni Nokotte Iru No WaWhat’s still left in my room,
Anata Ga Kakasazu Motte Ita Kyameru No Sorabakois the empty Camel cigarette box you always carried.
Anata No Nioi To Watashi Kitto Hanare Rarenai No NiI know I’ll never be able to escape your scent, and yet,
Wasureyou Nante Omocchi Yatte Hontou Watashi Bakada Nato think I’d even try to forget you… I’m such an idiot.
Tada Anata Wo Soba Ni Oite ItakattaI just wanted to keep you by my side.
Bukiyōna Watashi Dakara Mesaki No Koto Sura Mienakute SaI’m so clumsy, I can’t even see what’s right in front of me.
Omoidasu No Mo Yamerarenai No Mo Zenbu Watashi No SeiIt’s all my fault that I can’t stop remembering you.
Bukiyōna Watashi Dakara Anata No Ai Ni Kidzukenakatta Dake Ka NaBecause I’m so clumsy, maybe I just didn’t notice your love.
Iya Ai Nante Attan Darou KaThen again, I wonder if there was ever any love at all.
Anata Wo Omou ToWhen I think of you,
Watashi Zenbu Dō Demo Yoku Natte Shimau Nonothing else seems to matter anymore.
Heya No Kemutasa Mo Kobore-sōna Hai No Yama MoThe room’s smokiness, the overflowing pile of ash,
Yubisaki No Nioi Mo Kirai Ja Nakattaeven the scent on my fingertips… I didn’t hate it.
Anata No Nioi Wo Watashi Zenbu Oboete Iru YoI remember everything about your scent.
Mada Ni Heya Ni Nokotte Iru No WaWhat’s still left in my room,
Anata Ga Kakasazu Motte Ita Kyameru No Sorabakois the empty Camel cigarette box you always carried.
Anata No Nioi Nante Watashi Zutto Hanare Rarenai No NiI know I’ll never be able to escape your scent, and yet,
Wasureyou Nante Omocchi Yatte Hontou Watashi Bakada Nato think I’d even try to forget you… I’m such an idiot.
Tada Anata Wo Soba De Kanjite ItakattaI just wanted to feel you close to me.
Anata To Onaji Nioi Ga Yubi Kara ShitaYour scent was on my fingers.
Iyada Kono Nioi Watashi Suki Ja Nakatta No NiI hate this smell, and to think, I never even liked it.
