米津玄師 / アイネクライネ (English Cover)

English cover of "Eine Kleine" by Japanese singer-songwriter Kenshi Yonezu. The title means "A little..." in German. I think the title was taken from Mozart's "Eine kleine Nachtmusic" ("A Little Serenade").

The lyrics were a bit cryptic in places, so hopefully I got the right idea :D The theme seems to be a girl* with low self confidence who finds someone to love, but is constantly worried that it won't last.

*Although the original artist is a male, he sings from a female's
perspective.

The day that you and I first met
Brought happiness I won’t forget
But all along I’ve had a sorrow inside
I’ve learned to take for granted
These feelings of contentment are so strong I’m filled with pain
They lay seeds of an imminent goodbye surely coming any day

And if my living means I take away
Someone else’s only special place
Then I would rather be the gravel upon the ground
And walked on any day
‘Cause then there would be no misunderstandings and no doubt
No, you wouldn’t know we well enough to pick me out of the crowd

How I wish you had a clue of everything I feel for you
How my heart is flying
But I have a secret I can’t tell anyone alive
So I always end up lying
If you only knew the truth that’s deep inside of me
You’d know I’m more cowardly than you could ever see
So why, oh why, oh why…

Even through the pain lingering and rips in the seams
When you are here beside me
I can smile and laugh them away, and say it’s okay
Oh, what a gift you gave me
It’s like everything in my view is fading but you
‘Til you are all that I see
You gave me that miracle and left me wanting more
You called out my name and nothing’s like it was before

Well if it meant you wouldn’t pay the cost
Wouldn't lose your place and wander lost
Then I would gladly sacrifice someone else
Instead of you without a thought
And time and time again, we’re bound to smile as we pretend
We’re blind to the future, living a lie so small but certain

It doesn’t matter how I pray, or how I vow
Every night I’m haunted by the same dream
Where a little twist will come, swallow you and leave me numb
Taking you so far away from me
If you only knew the truth that’s deep inside of me
You’d know that I’m more spineless than you could ever see
So why, oh why, oh why…

Darling, please, tell me we can stay forever this way
Two hands entwined with our love
As we cross uncrossable nights, into the daylight
Where you will go, I’ll follow
And I wonder how I can shine into your closed eyes
All colors of the rainbow
I don’t know if I will be enough for you to stay
But, darling, I hope you don’t mind if I call your name

From the moment I was born, I never felt that I belonged
Screaming, "Let me disappear!" - ‘cause everything felt so wrong
Ever since then I’d been searching for somewhere all along
I could someday be free, and I found you finally

消えない悲しみも綻びも あなたといれば
kienai kanashimi mo hokorobi mo anata to ireba
それでよかったねと笑えるのがどんなに嬉れしいか
sore de yokatta ne to waraeru no ga donna ni ureshii ka
目の前の全てがぼやけては溶けてゆくような
me no mae no subete ga boyakete wa tokete yuku you na
奇跡であふれて足りないや
kiseki de afurete tarinai ya
あたしの名前を呼んでくれた
atashi no namae wo yonde kureta
あなたの名前を呼んでいいかな
anata no namae wo yonde ii kana
