初めてあなたを見たのは 10月の雨の降る土曜
The first time I saw you was on a rainy Saturday in October
バスを待つ私の前に さり気なく傘をさしかけた
You casually held an umbrella up for me while I waited for the bus
少し困った顔でしばらく 見つめてたら吹き出しちゃった私
With a slightly puzzled look, I stared for a while, then burst out laughing
その日から あなたのとりこ Wow Wow 口には出せない どうして伝えよう
From that day on, I was captivated by you, Wow Wow, I can't say it out loud, how can I let you know?
名前も知らない あなたへの One-sided Love
I don’t even know your name, yet it’s a One-sided Love for you
二度目にあなたに会ったのは ふと立ち寄った小さな店
The second time I met you was at a little shop I happened to stop by
思わずほほえみかわして"又 会ったね"って ひとことだけ
I couldn't help but exchange smiles, just saying 'We meet again'
ヴァレンタインには 勇気を出して
On Valentine’s Day, I’ll gather my courage
打ち明けよう胸のときめき きっと
I’ll confess the fluttering in my heart, surely
チョコレートに バラを添えて Wow Wow
With chocolate and roses, Wow Wow
目と目が合ったら ちょっとだけでいいから
When our eyes met, just a little would be enough,
お願い気づいて あなたへの One-sided Love
Please, notice me—this one-sided love for you.
最後にあなたを見たのは 夕暮れに近い街角で
The last time I saw you was at a street corner near dusk,
人ごみを追いかけたけど ふり向きもせずに歩いてた
I chased after the crowd, but you walked on without looking back.
見知らぬ他の誰かとふたり 腕組み合い仲良さそうに とても
With someone else, a stranger, clasping arms, looking so happy together,
笑い声が耳に残る Wow Wow 突然 私の目の前は まっ暗
The sound of laughter lingers in my ears Wow Wow suddenly, before my eyes, it turns dark.
望みはもうない あなたへの One-sided Love Ha...
There’s no hope left, this one-sided love for you Ha...
涙があふれてどうしようもなかった
Tears overflowed, and I just couldn’t do anything.
終わりが来たのね あなたへの One-sided(Love)
So this is how it ends, this one-sided love for you.
涙があふれてどうしようもなかった
Tears overflowed, and I just couldn’t do anything.
終わりが来たのね あなたへの One-sided Love...
The end has come, hasn't it? My one-sided love for you...
