スポットレイト (Spot Late) Ft. 歌愛ユキ (Kaai Yuki) Lyrics English Translation by 稲葉曇 (Inabakumori)
The songwriter drafts lyrics about a fragile desire for connection. One line says, ‘I wanted you to leave a scar on me,’ describing a wish for a love so strong it leaves a mark. He uses the image of a spotlight to talk about feeling invisible.
Kimi no ai o tayotteRelying on your love,
Onaji katachi ni nattaI’ve taken the same shape as you.
Ki ni sawaritakunakattaI didn’t want to be any trouble,
Doresukoodo o mamottaso I strictly followed the dress code.
Karada kizamu you ni atatameteWarm me up as if carving into my skin,
Namida kareru temae de te o tometeand pull your hand away just before my tears dry up.
Atashi igai no gainen de houchi shita bun dakeFor all the time you left me alone with thoughts of anyone else,
Shinchou ni natte shimau no ga iya iyaI hate how I’ve become so guarded and cautious.
AaAh,
Kirei na mama kietakattaI wanted to vanish while I was still pure.
Kizu o tsukete hoshikattaI wanted you to leave a scar on me.
Itami itami shiranaiI don’t know this pain, I just don’t know.
Junbi suru kanjou butaiuraMy feelings are preparing themselves backstage.
AaAh,
Kimi no jikan o ubaitakattaI wanted to steal away your time.
Kamishimete hoshikattaI wanted you to savor every moment.
Itami itami shiranaiI don’t know this pain, I just don’t know.
Junbi shita kanjou umi no nakaThese prepared feelings are deep beneath the sea.
Kimi no ai o tayotteRelying on your love,
Iki o tomete nemuttaI held my breath and went to sleep.
Sabishisa dake ga tsunottaOnly my loneliness grew stronger,
Namida ga shimite itandaand my tears began to sting with pain.
Karada hodoku you ni shibatte miteTry binding me as if unraveling my body,
Hoo no oku de namida o tashikameteand feel the tears deep within my cheeks.
Atashi igai o terasu raitoThe spotlight shines on everything but me.
Yoru o kazoeru soshaku no otoThe sound of chewing as I count the lonely nights.
Kinou wa chuushi kouenbi enkiYesterday was cancelled, and today’s performance is postponed.
Taisetsu no ura no fuan fuanAnxiety hides right behind the things I treasure.
AaAh,
Kirei na mama kietakattaI wanted to vanish while I was still pure.
Kirei na mama aitakattaI wanted to see you while I was still pure.
Kirei na mamaWhile I’m still pure…
AaAh,
Kirei na mama kietakattaI wanted to vanish while I was still pure.
Kizu o tsukete kurenai karaSince you won’t leave a scar on me,
Itami itami mienaiI can’t see this pain, I just can’t see it.
Junbi suru kanjou butaiuraMy feelings are preparing themselves backstage.
Kirei na mama furetakattaI wanted to touch you while I was still pure.
Guchagucha na serifu dattaMy words were just a tangled mess.
Itami itami shiranaiI don’t know this pain, I just don’t know.
Chuu ni uita kanjou uwa no soraThese floating feelings are lost in a daze.
Umi no nakaDeep beneath the sea.
