Hokorobi (Tear)

Mr Children

Romaji by Cori

Romaji

Hokoronda basho ga kono mune ni aru
Kanashimi wo mataida toki dekita no kana?
Hotsureta ito wo muishiki de hipparu
Sururi sururi to hodokete itta

Hokorobi wa mata hirogatte
Nanika ga kao wo dashita
Soko ni ita no wa kimi datta
Waratteru kimi

Mizutamamoyou no sukaato ga yureru
Hareta hi no kouen yoku oboeteru
Kinmokusei ga uwatta kokage wo mitsukete
Biiru nanka nonde te dake tsunaide

Hiroi shibafu ni yoko ni natte
Aoi sora wo mite ita
Kimochi ga yokute utouto shite
Mabuta tojita
Kimi no nioi ga suki datta
Amai nioi ga shita
Yume kara sameru to hitoribocchi
Kimi wa mou inai
Nekorogatteru kimi ga inai

English

That torn-apart place is in my heart
Was I able to step over the sadness?
Before I know it, the loose thread is stretched
And it came undone

The tear grows wider still
Something’s shown its face
It was you who were there
Laughing

I remember that sunny day in the park well
Your polkadot skirt swaying
We found shade under the fragrant olive trees
And drank beer, holding hands

I lay down on the wide lawn
And looked at the blue sky
I felt good, and fell into a doze
I closed my eyes
I loved the way you smelled
You smelled sweet
When I wake from my dream, I’m alone
You’re gone
You’re not here, tossing and turning
