大キライだったそばかすをちょっと
ひとなでしてタメ息をひとつ
ヘヴィー級の恋はみごとに
角砂糖と一緒に溶けた

前よりももっと やせた胸にちょっと
“チクッ"っとささるトゲがイタイ
星占いも あてにならないわ
もっと遠くまで 一緒にゆけたら ねぇ
うれしくて それだけで

想い出はいつもキレイだけど
それだけじゃ おなかがすくわ
本当は せつない夜なのに
どうしてかしら?
あの人の笑顔も思いだせないの

こわして なおして わかってるのに
それがあたしの性格だから
もどかしい気持ちで あやふやなままで
それでも イイ 恋をしてきた
おもいきりあけた左耳のピアスには ねぇ
笑えない エピソード

そばかすの数をかぞえてみる
汚れたぬいぐるみ抱いて
胸をさす トゲは 消えないけど
カエルちゃんも ウサギちゃんも
笑ってくれるの

想い出はいつもキレイだけど
それだけじゃ おなかがすくの
本当はせつない夜なのに
どうしてかしら?
あの人の涙も思いだせないの
思いだせないの Wo…

ララララララ
どうしてなの?

Daikirai datta sobakasu o chotto

Translation

 

I stroke the freckles I once hated
And let out a sigh
The heavyweight love we had
Dissolved splendidly with a cube of sugar

I’ve lost a bit of weight
A thorn sticks into my now-thinner chest with a piercing pain
Even astrology won’t help me
If only we could have gone further together
Just that would have made me happy

Memories are always sweet
But you’ll be left hungry if that’s all you have
The truth is that it was a sad night
I wonder why?
But I can’t even remember his smile

I know I break things and put them back together
But that’s the way I am
I was impatient with how uncertain we were
But our romance still went well
I can’t smile about that episode
When you gave in and got your left ear pierced

I try to count my freckles
Hugging my dirty soft toy
The thorn in my heart won’t go away
But Froggie and Bunny
Smile for me

Memories are always sweet
But you’ll be left hungry
If that’s all you have
The truth is that is was a sad night
I wonder why?
But I can’t even remember his tears

I can’t remember
Why?
