Sumire Lyrics Translation – Chevon
Chevon sings about understanding a partner’s quirks and fears, capturing moments like ‘a warmth in my fingertips as they softly touch you.’ The songwriter describes the joy of walking side by side, choosing the long way home to savor every shared secret.
Kimi wo sukoshi kanchigai shite imashitaI’d misunderstood you a little bit.
Mita me toka uwasa tokaBased on your looks and the rumors.
Sonna mono ni furimawasareteI was being jerked around by things like that,
Nigete shimau tokoro deshitaand I almost ended up running away.
Utaenai koi wo hajimemashitaI’ve started a love I can’t even sing about.
Sore wa mou totsuzen niIt happened so suddenly.
Tsutaetai kotoba ga arimasu gaThere are words I want to tell you,
Madamada iu no wa saki deshoubut it’s probably too soon to say them yet.
Aa mou nido to konna kimochi waOh, I don’t think a feeling like this
Otozurenai no deshouwill ever come to me again.
Dorama ni wa naranai shiawase toWith a happiness that won’t turn into a drama,
Hoaba wo awasete aruite iruI’m walking along, matching my pace with yours.
Otagai no himitsu wo uchiaketeLet’s share each other’s secrets,
Toomawari no michi wo aete yukouand choose to take the long way home.
Kimi no koto wo sukoshi rikai shimashitaI’ve come to understand you a little bit.
Shigusa toka kigen tokaYour gestures and your moods.
Shireba shiru hodo iji desu gaThe more I know, the more I see your stubbornness,
Sonna no mo itooshii no desubut even that is something I treasure.
Chikara ippai dakishimetakuteI want to hold you as tight as I can,
Kowaresou de dekizunakutebut I’m afraid I’ll break you, so I can’t.
Sotto fureta yubisaki ni tashika na atatakasaThere’s a certain warmth in my fingertips as they softly touch you.
Aa mou nido to konna kimochi waOh, I don’t think a feeling like this
Otozurenai no deshouwill ever come to me again.

Sukina mama ite kuremasu younifor even just one second longer.
Douka douka kono taisetsu na hibi gaPlease, oh please, let these precious days
Kimagure ja arimasen youninot be just a passing whim.
Dorama ni wa naranai mainichi woI’m going to live these undramatic days
Anata to korekara ikite yukuwith you from now on.
Otagai no yowasa mo umeatteWe’ll support each other’s weaknesses,
Toomawari no michi woand on this long way home,
Ameagari no sora wo futari de miyoulet’s look up at the sky after the rain together.
