Kenshi Yonezu – Lemon

Lyrics Kanji

夢ならばどれほどよかったでしょう
未だにあなたのことを夢にみる
忘れた物を取りに帰るように
古びた思い出の埃を払う

戻らない幸せがあることを
最後にあなたが教えてくれた
言えずに隠してた昏い過去も
あなたがいなきゃ永遠に昏いまま

きっともうこれ以上　傷つくことなど
ありはしないとわかっている

あの日の悲しみさえ　あの日の苦しみさえ
そのすべてを愛してた　あなたとともに
胸に残り離れない　苦いレモンの匂い
雨が降り止むまでは帰れない
今でもあなたはわたしの光

暗闇であなたの背をなぞった
その輪郭を鮮明に覚えている
受け止めきれないものと出会うたび
溢れてやまないのは涙だけ

何をしていたの　何を見ていたの
わたしの知らない横顔で

どこかであなたが今　わたしと同じ様な
涙にくれ　淋しさの中にいるなら
わたしのことなどどうか　忘れてください
そんなことを心から願うほどに
今でもあなたはわたしの光

自分が思うより
恋をしていたあなたに
あれから思うように
息ができない
あんなに側にいたのに
まるで嘘みたい
とても忘れられない
それだけが確か

あの日の悲しみさえ　あの日の苦しみさえ
そのすべてを愛してた　あなたとともに
胸に残り離れない　苦いレモンの匂い
雨が降り止むまでは帰れない
切り分けた果実の片方の様に
今でもあなたはわたしの光

Lyrics English

How good it would have been if this were all just a dream
Even now, I still dream of you
Like I’m going home to get something I've forgotten
I dust off my old, worn memories

The last thing you taught me
Is that there are types of happiness that don't come back
The dark past I kept hidden and unsaid
Would have remained forever dark, if I hadn’t met you

I know there’s no possible way
I could ever be hurt any more than this

Even the sadness of those days, even the pain of those days
I loved every bit of it, with you by my side
In my heart, never coming out, is the bitter smell of lemon
I can't go home until the rain lets up
And even now, you're my light

In the darkness, I traced your back
I remember its outline vividly
Each time I encounter something I can't fully accept
Nothing wells up but my tears

What were you doing? What were you looking at?
Your face turned to the side, expression unknown

If you're somewhere now, just the way I am
Trapped in loneliness, suffering and crying
Somehow, please, just forget about me
I wish for it so strongly, with all my heart
That even now, you're my light

Since then, when I think of you
—Someone I loved
More than I ever thought—
My breath stops
Even though you were by my side
It's almost like a lie
But I'll never forget it
That's the only thing I know for sure

Even the sadness of those days, even the pain of those days
I loved every bit of it, with you by my side
In my heart, never coming out, is the bitter smell of lemon
I can't go home until the rain lets up
Like one half of a split fruit
Even now, you're my light
