Wish I could see you, but Lyrics Translation – Jealous of Cats Soundtrack
Aimyon sings about a love letter stuck inside a refrigerator, turning white. She mentions a ring hidden in a tiny crimson box that she missed giving. The line reads Deep inside the refrigerator there’s a love letter that turns white.
Reizouko no naka ni waDeep inside the refrigerator,
Tabesokoneta raburetaathere’s a love letter I failed to consume,
Hitotsuzutsu hitotsuzutsu shiroku naruand one by one, they’re all turning white.
Akai chiisana hako ni waInside a tiny crimson box,
Watashisobireta ringuis a ring I missed the chance to give,
Mou shigatsu mou hitotsu iki wo hakuit’s already April, and I’m letting out another sigh.
Kore ga yume dattaraIf this were only a dream,
Nandomo kurikaeshite kimi woI’d repeat your presence over and over,
Nandomo wakatta furi wo shitepretending to understand time and again,
Kizutsukenai houhou wo mitsuketaiI want to find a way to never hurt you.
Ato nankai onaji fuyu wo toorisugiteHow many more times will I watch the same winter pass
Sabita mama no heya dein this room that’s just left to rust?
Kimi wo matsu no wa samusugiruWaiting for you is far too cold,
Kokoro mo motanai yomy heart just won’t hold out.
Hajimete no ano hi ni modotta naraIf I could return to that very first day,
Akari no nai machi mothen even in a city without lights,
Aishite ai wo shitteI’d love it, knowing what love is,
Ai ni yuku noniand I’d go to see you.
Zeroji sugita koro ni waOnce the clock strikes past midnight,
Nozomi naku nemuru n’ daI fall into a hopeless sleep,
Kazoeteru hitotsuzutsu kioku wo tatsucounting them one by one as I cut off the memories.
Kore wa yume deshitaThis was all just a dream,
Atama kakaesugita boku dakarasince I’m the one who’s always overthinking.
Nandomo fumikonde korondeI keep stepping in and falling down,
Kizutsuki hi wo matagi asa ni narugetting hurt as I cross through the days until morning.
Ato nankai onaji fuku ni sode tooshiteHow many more times will I slip into these same clothes?
Yoreta mama no eri moEven with this collar all worn out,
Kimi ga tonari ni itekuretaraif you were only here by my side,
Samusa mo shinogesouI feel like I could brave the cold.
Hajimari wa owari wo tsugeteita noThe beginning was already whispering of the end;
Hieta tenohira ga moumy frozen palms are already…
Wasurenaide oboeteiteDon’t forget me, please remember,
Furueteiru zothey’re trembling so much.
Anna ni chikaku ni ita noniEven though we were so close back then,
Sonna ni kawatte nai nonieven though not much has really changed,
Yappari samusa ni wa yowaiI guess I’m still just weak against the cold.
Mokkai kimi ni furetaiI want to touch you just once more.
Ato nankai onaji fuyu wo toorisugiteHow many more times will I watch the same winter pass
Sabita mama no heya dein this room that’s just left to rust?
Kimi wo matsu no wa samusugiruWaiting for you is far too cold,
Kokoro mo motanai yomy heart just won’t hold out.
Hajimete no ano hi ni modotta naraIf I could return to that very first day,
Akari no nai machi mothen even in a city without lights,
Aishite ai wo shitteI’d love it, knowing what love is,
Ai ni yuku noniand I’d go to see you.
Ai ni yuku noniI’d go to see you.
Ai ni yuku noniI’d go to see you.
