Sukisugite Naku Meaning & Lyrics (Stu48)
The lyrics mention a breeze in early summer to describe a missed chance. STU48 sings, ‘I’m crying ’cause I loved you too much, yet I’m keeping a straight, normal face.’ The image of a storage box holds memories no one dares to open.
Sore wa zenbu boku no sei nandaIt’s all my fault.
Tada kaze ga fuiteita mada hayai natsuJust a breeze blowing in early summer,
Kimi kara iwareta no wa “suki datta no ni”what you said was, “Even though I liked you.”
“Jaa ne” to sokkenaku naze ima tsubuyaita no kaWhy’d you just mutter “See ya” so coldly right now?
Sotsugyou wa kimochi no seiribako da neGraduation’s a storage box for feelings, isn’t it?
Benchi tachiagaru kimi o omowazu mitaI couldn’t help but watch as you stood up from the bench,
Itsumo to kawaranailooking just the same as always.
Daiji na mono o dokoka ni otoshitaI’ve dropped something precious somewhere,
Hatto shite shimauand it hits me all of a sudden.
Suki sugite naku soredemo heizen to boku wa futsuu no kao o shiteI’m crying ’cause I loved you too much, yet I’m keeping a straight, normal face.
Ima ni natte kokuhaku shitatte atodashi jankenConfessing now would just be ‘atodashi janken’ ‘making a late move in rock-paper-scissors’,
Hito wa daremo jibun kara kataomoi o katte ni shiteeveryone just starts an unrequited love on their own,
Mune no uchi ni todomete shitsuren shita to omoikomu mono sakeeping it locked in their hearts and convincing themselves it’s a heartbreak.
Mou yuuhi ga shizumu (chiheisen) ichibanboshi ga (kagayaiteru)The sun’s already setting on the horizon, and the first star’s shining.
Hikitomerare ya shinai (mou sukoshi) hanashitakattaI can’t hold you back, but I wanted to talk just a little longer.
Moshi tokei no hari o makimododseru no nara (zettai)If I could definitely wind back the clock’s hands,
Hontou no kimochi o tsutaeru darou (boku no hou kara)I’d tell you my true feelings from my side.
Otagai no haato wa kasuttetandaOur hearts were grazing against each other,
Kizukanai kurai niso slightly I didn’t even notice.
Kikkake ga areba riakushon shidai deIf there’d been a spark, depending on the reaction,
Chansu ga atta ka?could there’ve been a chance?
Suki sugita bun nazeka enryo shite boku ga kyori o tsukuttetaBecause I loved you too much, I held back and created distance myself.
Sonna koto o kangae chattara kimi o ushinau to…If I let myself think like that, I’d lose you…
Sou sa futari tomodachi de kamawanai to omottetaYeah, I thought I was fine with us just being friends.
Imasara de ii nara tsuki no shita o issho ni kaerouIf it’s okay even now, let’s walk home together under the moon.
Kono omoi kontorooru dekinaiI can’t control these feelings.
Hajimete no koi wa shinchou ni naru yoYou get cautious with your first love.
Boku wa dou sureba ii no ka?What should I do?
Suki sugita bun nazeka enryo shite boku ga kyori o tsukuttetaBecause I loved you too much, I held back and created distance myself.
Sonna koto o kangae chattara kimi o motto suki ni naruIf I think about things like that, I’ll just love you even more.
Suki sugite naku soredemo heizen to boku wa futsuu no kao o shiteI’m crying ’cause I loved you too much, yet I’m keeping a straight, normal face.
Ima ni natte kokuhaku shitatte atodashi jankenConfessing now would just be ‘atodashi janken’,

Mune no uchi ni todomete shitsuren shita to omoikomu mono sakeeping it locked in their hearts and convincing themselves it’s a heartbreak.
Dekiru naraba ano hi ni kaerouIf I could, I’d go back to that day.
Honno isshun de toorisugite shimattaIt passed by in just a fleeting moment,
Sono kokoro no kaze kimi o tsuresattekunthat breeze in my heart is taking you away.
