春色の汽車に乗って海に連れて行ってよ
煙草の匂いのシャツにそっと寄りそうから
何故知りあった日から半年過ぎても
あなたって手も握らない

I will follow you
あなたに 追いてゆきたい
I will follow you
ちょっぴり 気が弱いけど
素敵な人だから
心の岸辺に咲いた
赤いスイートピー

四月の雨に降られて駅のベンチで二人
他に人影もなくて不意に気まずくなる
何故あなたが時計をチラッとみるたび
泣きそうな気分になるの?

I will follow you
翼の 生えたブーツで
I will follow you
あなたと 同じ青春
走ってゆきたいの
線路の脇のつぼみは
赤いスイートピー

好きよ今日まで
逢った誰より
I will follow you
あなたの 生き方が好き
このまま帰れない帰れない
心に春が来た日は
赤いスイートピー

Haru-iro no kisha ni notte umi ni tsurete itte yo
Tabako no nioi no shatsu ni sotto yorisou kara
Naze shiriatta hi kara hantoshi sugitemo
anata tte te mo nigiranai

I Will Follow You
Anata ni tsuite yukitai
I Will Follow You
Choppiri ki ga yowai kedo
Suteki na hito dakara
Kokoro no kishibe ni saita
Akai suiito pii

Shigatsu no ame ni furarete eki no benchi de futari
Hoka ni hitokage mo nakute fui ni kimadzuku naru
Naze anata ga tokei o chiraa to miru tabi
Nakisou na kibun ni naru no?

I Will Follow You
Tsubasa no haeta buutsu de
I Will Follow You
Anata to onaji seishun
Hashitte yukitai no
Senro no waki no tsubomi wa
Akai suiito pii

Suki yo kyou made
Atta dare yori
I Will Follow You
Anata no iki kata ga suki
Kono mama kaerenai (kaerenai)
Kokoro ni haru ga kita hi wa
Akai suiito pii

Translation

 

Take me to the beach on a spring-coloured train
I'll snuggle up to your shirt that smells of cigarettes
Why is it that it's been half a year since we met
And you still won't even hold my hand?

I will follow you
I want to follow you
I will follow you
Even though I'm a bit weak-willed
Because you're a wonderful person
Growing on the shore of my heart
My red sweet pea

Sitting together on the bench at the station in the spring rain
There's no sign of anyone else and suddenly things get awkward
Why is it that every time you glance at your watch
I feel like crying?

I will follow you
In winged boots
I will follow you
I want to run
Through the same youth as you
The bud by the tracks
Is a red sweet pea

I love you more than anyone else
I've ever met
I will follow you
I love the way you live
I cant go home (I cant go home) like this
The day spring came in my heart
A red sweet pea grew
