辻褄を合わせなくていい　出会いはドラマじゃなくていい

寂しさ紛らわせれば　今日を乗り越えられるから 

柔らかな景色の中で　欲望だけが鮮明で

あなたが誰だっていい　目の前にいるだけでいい

 

赤い唇に酔う　あなたの頬に手を伸ばしていた

 

息と息を繋ぎ合わせて求め合った　這わせた指先　確かめていくように

明日になれば二度と会うことのない僕らは　夜の徐問を埋めていく

「愛してる」って言わないでいい　赤いは隠したままの夜に

 

溶け合うほど愛しくて　満たされるほど虚しくて

どこに向かうこともなく　何を責めるわけでもなく

ありきたりなストーリーに沿って　ありきたりなルールだからいい

僕らは何も聞かない　何も聞けない

 

背を向け歩き始める「さよなら」と互いを引き離すように　求め合う前に

 

ひとときだけ慰め合ったこの時間は　足早な現実に取り残されていく

きっと互いに思い出すこともなくなって　僕たちは消えていく

 

息と息を繋ぎ合わせて求め合った　這わせた指先　確かめていくように

明日になれば二度と会うことのない僕らは　夜の徐間を埋めていく

「愛してる」って言わないでいい　赤い糸は隠したままの夜に

 

 

Lyrics checked with the booklet for: Shinjitsu wo Shitteiku Monogatari.

Jitsutsuma wo awasenakute ii　Deai ha DORAMA janakute ii

Sabishisa magirawasereba　Kyou wo norikoerareru kara

Yawarakana keshiki no naka de　yokubou dake ga senmei de

anata ga dare datte ii　Me no mae ni iru dake de ii

 

Akai kuchibiru ni you　Anata no hoho ni te wo nobashiteita

Ashita ni nareba nido to au koto no nai bokura ha　yoru no sukima wo umeteiku

「Aishiteiru」 tte iwanaide ii　Akai ito ha kakushita mama no yoru ni

 

Tokeau hodo itooshikute　mitasareru hodo munashikute

Ashita ni nareba nido to au koto no nai bokura ha　yoru no sukima wo umeteiku

「Aishiteiru」 tte iwanaide ii　Akai ito ha kakushita mama no yoru ni

It's fine if we're not a match. It's fine if our meeting wasn't like that in a TV drama.

Because if I can distract my loneliness I can overcome today.

In the tender scenery only my desires are clear,

so I don't care who you are. I only care that you're right here in front me.

 

I'm intoxicated by your red lips. I've reached my hand out toward your cheek.

 

Letting our breaths connect we longed for each other. Allowing our fingers to trace our bodies. As if to make sure the other was really there.

Never to meet again when tomorrow arrives, we bury the emptiness of the night together.

I don't mind if you don't tell me "I love you". Like it's a night upon which we've concealed the red string of fate.

 

So lovely we're melting together, and so empty we're satisfied,

there's nowhere to take this further, and there's nothing to complain about,

following a standard scenario, and because the rules are standard it's fine.

We're not asking any questions. We can't.

 

We've started walking off with our backs turned toward each other. We say "goodbye" like we're separating, before longing for one another.

 

This single moment of comfort is being left behind in a swift reality.

Surely to never be remembered by either of us again, we are disappearing.

 

Letting our breaths connect we longed for each other. Allowing our fingers to trace our bodies. As if to make sure the other was really there.

Never to meet again when tomorrow arrives, we bury the emptiness of the night together.

I don't mind if you don't tell me "I love you". Like it's a night upon which we've concealed the red string of fate.

 

 

*Translator's note: In Japan it is believed that destined lovers are connected by a red string around their fingers.
