Sukidayo Lyrics English Translation by Maruri
The narrator asks, ‘How much of a place do I actually hold inside of you?’ This line captures the pain of loving someone who may not feel the same. The poet uses Haagen Dazs ice cream as a metaphor for a love that can’t be purely sweet.
Mou tomerarenai yo motomeraretenai noI can’t stop it anymore, even though I’m not the one you want
Kimi no naka no watashi wa dore kuraiHow much of a place do I actually hold inside of you?
Kisetsu ga sugitemo kono kimochi ga kawaranaiEven as the seasons drift by, these feelings of mine don’t change.
Donna hito ga ii nante kikenaiI can’t even bring myself to ask what kind of person you like
Kizukaretara hanarechau noBecause if you ever found out, you’d only drift away from me.
Sakanoboru kimi to no tookuLooking back at the long road I’ve walked with you,
Sono kyori wa yosou yori mo tookuthat distance is so much further than I’d ever imagined,
Soshin dekinai noand I just can’t hit the send button.
Suki da yo suki da yoI love you, I really love you
Deatta toki kara hoka no dare to mo chigau ki ga shitetaFrom the moment we met, I felt like you were different from everyone else
Owatte hoshikunaiI don’t want this to ever come to an end
Suki da yo suki da yo zutto kono mama deI love you, I love you, let’s just stay like this forever.
Kikitai koto shiritai kotoThings I want to ask, things I want to know
Kiite hoshii koto shitte hoshii kotoThings I want you to ask, things I want you to know
Fuete iku goto ni hikarete ita no tou niAs they kept on growing, I was already drawn to you long ago,
Kanawanai koi nifalling for a love that’ll never be realized.
Onaji you ni naitari nita tokoro de waratte iru no niEven though we cry over the same things and laugh at the same parts,
Chikaku ni iru no niand even though you’re right here by my side…
Koi wa taimingu surechigau you niLove is all about timing, and it’s like we’re just passing each other by
Kimi no hitomi kara kakushitaso I’ve hidden my heart away from your eyes.
Haagen Dazs mitai niJust like ‘Haagen Dazs’ ice cream,
Amai amai koi ga dekinai noI can’t have a love that’s purely sweet and simple,
Soredemo kokoro gabut even so, my heart still screams…
Suki da yo suki da yoI love you, I really love you
Deatta toki kara hoka no dare to mo chigau ki ga shitetaEver since we met, I knew you weren’t like anyone else I’d known
Owatte hoshikunaiI don’t ever want this to end
Suki da yo suki da yo zutto kono mama deI love you, I love you, please let things stay just like this.
Itsuka mita eiga no fanfaareThat fanfare from a movie I saw once,
Kyasuto wa watashi to kimi dewith you and me cast as the leading roles,
Hakushu o okureru you na monogatari o yumemite tan daI was dreaming of a story that would earn a standing ovation
Kyou maderight up until today.
Suki da yo suki da yoI love you, I really love you
Sono me mo nioi mo zenbu oboete irareru to ii naI hope I can remember everything about you, your eyes and even your scent.
Suki da yo suki da yoI love you, I really love you
Deatta toki kara hoka no dare to mo chigau ki ga shitetaFrom the very start, I felt a connection unlike any other
Owatte shimau kanaI wonder if it’s all going to end soon?
Suki da yo suki da yo zutto suki deshitaI love you, I love you, I’ve loved you all this time.
