Chiai Fujikawa • From “Hankei 3 Meters”
Hankei 3 Meters’s Waruguchi Japanese Lyrics English Translation
Chiai Fujikawa sings about love that hesitates in the face of cruelty. She mentions a bitter smile forced during gossip to show discomfort. The line ‘You’re ugly when you badmouth others’ cuts deep, linking words to inner decay. Flowers and love are offered as better choices.
Kimi ga kimi ga waruguchi o iwanakattaraIf you, if you didn’t speak ill of others,
Kimi no kimi no koto suki ni naru kamoI might, I might just fall in love with you.
Kimi ga waruguchi o suteru narabaIf you throw away those toxic words,
Kimi no kanojo ni natte ageru yoI’ll be your girlfriend.
Kimi ga kobosu waruguchi ni aizuchi o utsu watashiI nod along to the badmouthing you spill,
Ki o tsukatte tamatta nigawarai sonna watashi ga watashi wa kiraiforcing a bitter smile just to be polite; I hate that side of myself.
Sonna watashi ga watashi wa kirai sonna watashi ga watashi wa kiraiI hate that side of myself, I hate that side of myself.
Kireigoto datte katazukereba nayamu hitsuyou mo nai keredoIf I could just brush it off as idealism, I wouldn’t need to worry, but…
Sonna ni muzukashii koto kana? Waruguchi o iwanai sekai sekaiIs it really that difficult? A world, a world where no one speaks ill.
Waruguchi o iu kimi wa minikui sono waruguchi ga kimi ni yadoruYou’re ugly when you badmouth others; those toxic words reside within you.
Mata kimi ga yogorete iku mata kimi ga yogorete ikuYou’re getting tainted again, you’re getting tainted again.
Hoshii no wa doku ja nai hana o sodateyou yoWhat I want isn’t poison; let’s grow flowers instead.
Kimi ga kimi ga waruguchi o iwanakattaraIf you, if you didn’t speak ill of others,
Kimi no kimi no koto suki ni naru kamoI might, I might just fall in love with you.

Kimi no kanojo ni natte ageru yoI’ll be your girlfriend.
Kimi ga haita waruguchi ga sukoshizutsu ai o samashitekuThe badmouthing you spit out slowly cools down my love.
Kimi no yowasa datte wakatteru soredemo uketoritakunaiI know it’s just your weakness, but I still don’t want to accept it.
Soredemo uketoritakunai soredemo uketoritakunaiI still don’t want to accept it, I still don’t want to accept it.
Kanpeki nante motometenai yo jibun de kuroku somaranai deI’m not asking for perfection, just don’t dye yourself black.
Sonna ni muzukashii koto kana? Waruguchi o iwanai sekai sekaiIs it really that difficult? A world, a world where no one speaks ill.
Kimi no hanashi de waratte itai yo kimi no utsukushisa o shitteru karaI want to laugh at your stories, because I know your true beauty.
Yasashii sekai ga suki na yasashii sekai ga suki na baka kana aaAm I just a fool who loves a gentle world, who loves a gentle world? Ah.
Hoshii no wa itami ja nai ai o sodateyou yoWhat I want isn’t pain; let’s nurture love instead.
Waruguchi no nai sekai de odorouLet’s dance in a world without badmouthing.
Waruguchi no nai sekai ni kaerouLet’s return to a world without badmouthing.
Waruguchi no nai sekai o utaouLet’s sing of a world without badmouthing.
Waruguchi no nai sekai o tsukurouLet’s create a world without badmouthing.
…tsukurou tsukurou…let’s create it, let’s create it.
