Stay with Me Lyrics Translation – Rikutsudehanasukimito, Kanjoronnoboku Soundtrack
Kayayu writes about the struggle of loving someone while questioning your own worth. The line, ‘If I’d met you five years from now, I know I could’ve made you truly happy,’ highlights the regret of bad timing. Yangskinny’s vocals bring a warmth that contrasts with the pain of knowing love alone might not be enough.
Kono hito wa taisetsu ni shinakya ikenaiI was told that I must cherish this person,
Tte iwareta kedobut we met far too early.
Deau ni wa hayasugiteEven when you talk of marriage,
Kekkon nante iwarete mo mada kangaerenai yaI just can’t bring myself to think about it yet.
Demo ato gonen go ni kimi ni deaete itaraBut if I’d met you five years from now,
Machigai naku ore ga shiawase ni dekite itaI know I could’ve made you truly happy.
Demo sono koro ni wa kitto ore janai dareka gaBut by then, someone else who isn’t me
Kimi o shiawase ni shite itan darou nawould surely be the one making you smile.
Fuseijitsu ni ikiteru karaSince I live such an insincere life,
Futsuu no shiawase wa agerenai kedoI can’t give you a normal kind of happiness, but,
Stay with meStay with me.
Kore wa chotto nozomisugi desu kaIs this asking a bit too much of you?
Kono hito wa shiawase ni shite agetai naI want to be the one to make you happy,
Tte omotteru kedothat’s what I’m thinking, but,
Hito no kimochi wakaranakuteI don’t understand how people feel,
Anata o nakasete shimaimashitaand I’ve ended up making you cry.
Ore ga shiawase o kanjiru koto to iebaWhenever I found something that made me happy,
Taitei anata ga iyagaru koto bakari deshitait was usually something that you hated.
Anata ga shiawase o kanjiru tame nara ore waIf it were for the sake of your own joy,
Jibun o gisei ni dekiru darou kacould I ever really sacrifice myself?
Fuseijitsu ni ikiteru karaSince I live such an insincere life,
Futsuu no shiawase wa agerenai kedoI can’t give you a normal kind of happiness, but,
Stay with meStay with me.
Kore wa chotto nozomisugi desu kaIs this asking a bit too much of you?
Ai dake ja anata to wa irenai karaBecause love alone isn’t enough to stay with you,
Ore nari no yasashisa de bad endI’ll bring this to a bad end with my own version of kindness.
Kore de yokatta neThis was for the best, wasn’t it?
Kizutsukezu ni sunda neWe got through it without getting hurt, didn’t we?
Sou omotte ita kedoThat’s what I kept telling myself, but,
Anata wa mada naite iteyou’re still there, crying.
Hakichigaete ita neI had it all wrong, didn’t I?
Yasashisa nanka janakatta neIt wasn’t kindness at all, was it?
Hontou hito no kimochi wakannai neI really don’t understand how people feel,
Saigo no saigo made jibun kattebeing so selfish until the very end.
Ai dake ja anata to wa irenai tokaClaiming that love alone isn’t enough to stay with you,
Machigata yasashisa de bad endI’ve brought this to a bad end with my mistaken kindness.
The meaning behind ‘Stay with Me’ is a bittersweet look at love’s limitations. Yangskinny delivers a song that speaks to anyone who’s ever wondered if they’re enough for someone they care about.
