Текст Utada Hikaru – Forevermore

Romanized:

Tashika na ashidori de ieji ni tsuku hito ga
Afureru oodoori o sakete
Kowareta iyafon de mimi o fusaginagara

Anata no kawari nante irya shinai
Kore bakari ga uragiraretemo kawaranai

Aishiteru aishiteru hakujoumono na watashi no mune o
Kou mo taezu shimetsukeru no wa anata dake da yo
Oh oh oh, others come and go
But you’re in my soul forevermore
Itsumademo itsumademo itsumademo sou yo

Tomodachi wa irekawari fuku wa hayarisutaru
‘Watashi’ o watashi tarashimeru no wa
Shimitsuita kachikan ya minitsuita shumishikou
Nanka janai to oshiete kureta

Watashi no owari nante kowakunai
Moshikashitara umarekawattemo wasurenai

Aishiteru aishiteru hitorikiri ga niau watashi o
Kyou mo aezu nakaseru no wa anata dake da yo
Oh oh, others come and go
But you’re in my soul forevermore
Itsumademo itsumademo itsumademo sou yo

Koi no ato mo itsumademo itsumademo
Saigo no shunkan o matazu doumo kore dake wa ieru
Forevermore…

Aishiteru aishiteru sore igai wa yodan no iki yo
Aishiteru aishiteru no wa anata dake da yo
Oh oh, others come and go
But you’re in my soul forevermore

Japanese:

確かな足取りで家路に着く人が
溢れる大通りを避けて
壊れたイヤフォンで耳を塞ぎながら
あなたの名を呟きかけた

あなたの代わりなんて居りゃしない
こればかりは裏切られても変わらない

愛してる　愛してる　薄情者な私の胸を
こうも絶えず締め付けるのはあなただけだよ
Oh oh, others come and go
But you’re in my soul forevermore
いつまでも いつまでも いつまでもそうよ

友達は入れ替わり　服は流行り廃る
「私」を私たらしめるのは
染み付いた価値観や　身についた趣味嗜好
なんかじゃないと教えてくれた

私の終わりなんて怖くない
もしかしたら生まれ変わっても忘れない

愛してる　愛してる　一人きりが似合う私を
今日も会えず　泣かせるのはあなただけだよ
Oh oh, others come and go
But you’re in my soul forevermore
いつまでも いつまでも いつまでもそうよ

恋の痕も　いつまでも いつまでも
最後の瞬間を待たず　どうもこれだけは言える
Forevermore…

愛してる　愛してる　それ以外は余談の域よ
愛してる　愛してる　のはあなただけだよ
Oh oh, others come and go
But you’re in my soul forevermore
いつまでも いつまでも いつまでもそうよ

English translation:

Making their way home with firm strides
People avoid the overflowing main street
Plugging my ears with broken headphones
I half-muttered your name

There’s no way that anyone could take your place
Even if you betray me, this one thing will never change

I love you, I love you. Though my heart is unfeeling
You’re the only one who seizes it like this, never letting go
Oh oh, others come and go
But you’re in my soul forevermore
It’ll be that way forever, forever, forevermore

New friends supplant old ones. Fashions come and go.
I know that what makes me «me»
Is more than my ingrained sense of right and wrong, or my acquired likes and dislikes
And you were the one who taught me that

I’m not afraid of how I may end
For even if I’m somehow reborn, I still won’t forget

I love you, I love you. Though being alone becomes me
You’re the only one who can make me cry, even after another day without you
Oh oh, others come and go
But you’re in my soul forevermore
It’ll be that way forever, forever, forevermore

The marks left by love last forever, forevermore
Even without waiting for the last moment, I can say one thing for certain
«Forevermore»

I love you, I love you. Everything else is just an aside to our story
I love you, I love you. You’re the only one I do.
Oh oh, others come and go
But you’re in my soul forevermore
It’ll be that way forever, forever, forevermore
