Lyrics Ayumi Hamasaki – Don’t Look Back

Romanized:

Modorenai modoranai kaeru basho wa mou nai
Ikura furikaette mo kaerarenai
Kirei na ashiato ni nurikaeta tokoro de

Don’t look back
Kakko warui

Don’t look back
Tokoro koso ga itoshii

Modorenai modoranai kaeru basho wa mou nai
Ikura furikaette mo kaerare nai
Kirei na ashiato ni nurikaeta tokoro de
Jibun no kokoro dake wa damasenai

Don’t look back
Waraeru no wa

Don’t look back
Toorisugita kara koso

Susumitai susumenai sou yatte mayotte
Iru tte koto wa mou mayottenai
Koko de todomaru nara ikura ka raku kamo ne
Dakedo mune wo kogasu shigeki mo nai

Nee dare mo ga omoidasu no wa
Ichiban kagayaiteta koro no jibun nante
Sore wa kanashisugiru wa

Don’t look back

Susumitai susumenai sou yatte mayotte
Iru tte koto wa mou mayottenai
Koko de todomaru nara ikura ka raku kamo ne
Dakedo mune wo kogasu shigeki mo nai

Modorenai modoranai kaeru basho wa mou nai

Donna fuu ni maku wo orosu?
Anata nara

Don’t look back

Japanese:

戻れない戻らない 帰る場所はもうない
いくら振り返っても 変えられない
綺麗な足跡に 塗り替えたところで
自分の心だけは 騙せない

Don’t look back
カッコ悪い

Don’t look back
所こそが愛おしい

戻れない戻らない 帰る場所はもうない
いくら振り返っても 変えられない
綺麗な足跡に 塗り替えたところで
自分の心だけは 騙せない

Don’t look back
笑えるのは

Don’t look back
通り過ぎたからこそ

進みたい進めない そうやって迷って
いるって事はもう 迷ってない
ここで留まるなら いくらか楽かもね
だけど胸を焦がす 刺激もない

ねぇ誰もが思い出すのは
一番輝いてた頃の自分なんて
それは悲しすぎるわ

Don’t look back

進みたい進めない そうやって迷って
いるって事はもう 迷ってない
ここで留まるなら いくらか楽かもね
だけど胸を焦がす 刺激もない

戻れない戻らない 帰る場所はもうない
いくら振り返っても 変えられない
綺麗な足跡に 塗り替えたところで
自分の心だけは 騙せない

どんな風に幕を下ろす?
あなたなら

Don’t look back

English translation:

I can’t go back, I won’t go back, there’s nowhere left for me to return
However much I look behind me, I can not change my footprints
And even if I paint over them beautifully
My mind won’t be deceived

(Don’t look back) the unattractive
(Don’t look back) parts of myself are dear to me

I can’t go back, I won’t go back, there’s nowhere left for me to return
However much I look behind me, I can not change my footprints
And even if I paint over them beautifully
My mind won’t be deceived

(Don’t look back) I can smile
(Don’t look back) because that period is over

I want to go forward, I can’t go forward
Hesitating like this means that I won’t hesitate anymore
It would be easier for me to stay here
But nothing would excite me

What fulfils everyone is the period in their lives when they shone the most
How tragic that is

Don’t look back

I want to go forward, I can’t go forward
Hesitating like this means that I won’t hesitate anymore
It would be easier for me to stay here
But nothing would excite me

I can’t go back, I won’t go back, there’s nowhere left for me to return
However much I look behind me, I can not change my footprints
And even if I paint over them beautifully
My mind won’t be deceived

The curtain falls in this way
And you

Don’t look back
