Tomodachi No Furi Lyrics Translation – Sorato
Sorato describes a lingering regret in the line, ‘I still think about how I wish I’d cried in front of you.’ The lyrics mention a photo album, a scrunched-up nose, and a nickname only used in private. These details bring the story of a love that never fully happened to life.
Kimi no mae de naketetara tteI still think about how I wish I’d cried in front of you,
Imadani omou yoeven now.
Kaisatsu mae fuzakete nando mo furikaetteMessing around at the ticket gate, looking back again and again,
Futta te itsumo doori datta nethe way I waved my hand was just like any other day.
Futari no himitsu ni shiyou no yakusoku woI haven’t broken that promise to keep us a secret yet,
Mada yabutte naiI’m still holding onto it;
Tsuzuki wo kitai shiteru mitaiit’s like I’m still expecting a sequel to our story.
Nokori sukoshi no hajimete woIt’s ’cause we gave those last few ‘firsts’ to each other,
Ageatta sei da yothat I can’t let go,
Hatsukoi yori mo hatsukoi datta hitoyou, the one who was more of a first love than my first love.
Shisen dake no kaiwaConversations held only with our eyes,
Kossori kaketa yonaka no denwasecret phone calls in the middle of the night;
Dareka ni baretetaraif someone had caught us back then,
Nakatta koto nithis wouldn’t have turned into
Naranakattasomething that never actually happened.
Ima wa arubamu no nakaNow, inside the photo album,
Kimi ga totta watashi dake gaonly the ‘me’ that you captured,
Shiawase sou ni fukuranda hana dewith my nose scrunched up in happiness,
Busaiku ni waratteru mamastays right there, laughing so awkwardly.
Koe ga hibiite itaYour voice was echoing,
Kimi ga ureshii iwakan dattayou were a beautiful kind of mismatch.
Jimoto no akeedo wo aruitaWe walked through the local arcade,
Futari de iru toki dake no yobina gaand I felt like I could still hear that nickname
Mada kikoeru ki ga shitathe one we only used when we were all alone.
Wakakatta ne de owaru koi waFor a love that ends with ‘we were young back then,’
Tomodachi no furi ga heta dattaraif we’d been worse at pretending to be friends,
Dareka ni yubi wo sasarete sapeople would’ve pointed fingers, and then
Nakatta koto nithis wouldn’t have turned into
Naranakattasomething that never actually happened.
Ima wa arubamu no nakaNow, inside the photo album,
Kimi ga totta watashi dake gaonly the ‘me’ that you captured,
Shiawase sou ni fukuranda hana dewith my nose scrunched up in happiness,
Busaiku ni waratteru mamastays right there, laughing so awkwardly.
Kizukeba furi janaku nattaBefore I knew it, it wasn’t an act anymore;
Tomodachi no furi ga jozu datta futari wathe two of us who were so good at playing friends
Nanimonakatta kao shitewill just keep on forgetting,
Wasurete iku dakewith faces that look like nothing ever happened.
