ReYasashii Kimochi

…a girl that can’t cry, tender feelings, hold me tight…

The girl that I am can’t cry, she puts up an empty facade of courage
My hands never came out of my pockets,
I was shy and I was crying and still I was cold…
With my earmuffs on, I was secluding myself. Your voice…
I wanna hear it.
I was alone, buried in my scarf.
You gotta say it with words, right now, c’mon

You gotta notice it, these emotions from my heart
“Let’s stay together and show each other, let’s not leave each other again”
Why is it that I can’t tell you something honestly?
I shouldn’t shrug it off, saying “that’s weird, huh…”
Somehow, I’m lonely and
I wanna be together and
I don’t understand it, so
Don’t listen to anything else
Right now, just…
Could I be selfish for just this once?

<Let’s hold hands, I want our hands to be like this forever>
My Darling, Do you know?
Don’t let go…

…The girl that I am that can’t cry, tender feelings…

We can’t ever let each other go, these feelings can’t ever stop.
I want you to say you’ll take me with to
the world where your existence can easily be felt, please baby…
Our footprints will fade at some point but
We’ll use some magic
And try not to lose our way, yeah…

Pouting, Laughing, Being silent, Crying
‘The usual me’ and ‘the bothered you’
You & I can’t say it mutually
they’re hidden and can’t be seen, these real “tender feelings”
I want to connect our cold fingers together
Like that song playin’ on the streets
* I should have been honest and said it to you:
“Could I be selfish for just this once?”

<Let’s hold hands, I want our hands to be like this forever>
Hold me closely, Holding each others hands, the warmth, don’t let go…

…holding hands … with you …

While hugging each other, you said “Did you understand that?”
And when that came from your mouth, I knew I couldn’t see you anymore
My hands can communicate more than some text message.
Guide me with an innocent heart

Yes, One Love
This is a sense confusion that I can’t get used to,
Why do I feel so uneasy?
I’ll believe in it. With love, hold me…
Now, right here

…a girl that can’t cry and her tender feelings, hold me close…

<Let’s hold hands, I want our hands to be like this forever>
My darling, Do you know?
Hold me closely, Holding each others hands, the warmth, don’t let go…
My beloved darling, Do you know me?
Hold me closely, Hold my hand, the warmth, don’t let go…

Translation Notes
*When Yucali says “that song playin” on the streets’ she’s referencing Chara’s song “やさしい気持ち” and painting the picture of walking (in Japan, they often times play music in city streets) back in the day, hearing the song play.

*Since the song is a “response” to Chara’s song, there are many references to the original lyrics.
