Aitai (I Miss You) By:Sawada Chikako

Romaji:

Biru ga mieru kyoushitsu de

Futari wa tsukue, narabete

Onaji tsukihi wo sugoshita

Sukoshi no eigo to

Basuketto, soshite

Watashi wa anata wo koi wo oboeta

Sotsugyou shitemo watashi wo

Kodomo atsukai shita yo ne

"Tooku e iku na yo" to

Hanbun waratte, hanbun magao de

Dakiyoseta

Hikui kumo wo hirogeta fuyu no yoru

Anata yume no you ni

Shinde shimatta no

Kotoshi mo umi e iku tte

Ippai eiga mo miru tte

Yakusoku shita ja nai

Anata yakusoku shita ja nai

Aitai...

Namiuchigiwa susunde wa

Fui ni akiramete modoru

Umibe wo tada hitori

Okoritai no ka, nakitai no ka

Wakarazu ni aruiteru

Koe wo kakeru hito wo tsui mitsumeru

Kare ga anata dattara

Anata datta nara

Tsuyogaru kata wo tsukande

Baka da na tte shikatte

Yasashiku kiss wo shite

Uso da yo tte dakishimete ite

Aitai...

Tooku e iku na to itte

Onegai hitori ni shinaide

Tsuyoku dakishimete

Watashi no soba de ikite ite

Kotoshi mo umi e iku tte

Ippai eiga mo miru tte

Yakusoku shita ja nai

Anata yakusoku shita ja nai

Aitai...

English:

We passed the time together

Our desks lined up side by side

In a classroom with a view of the buildings

We learned a little English

Some basketball, and

I learned about love with you

Even after graduation

You treated me like a child

"Don't go to far," you said

Half laughingly, half straight faced

As you pulled me close

On a winter night when the clouds were low

Just like a dream

You died

This year we'll go to the beach

We'll see a lot of movies, too

You promised

You promised me

I miss you...

Walking along the beach

I suddenly give up and turn back

Walking alone on the shore

Unsure if I want to get angry

Or if I want to cry

Someone calls out to me and unthinkingly I stare

If it was you

If only it was you

You would grip my shoulders

And scold me for being stupid

You'd kiss me tenderly

Hold me and say it was all a lie

I miss you...

Tell me not to go far

Please don't leave me alone

Hold me tightly

Live by my side

This year we'll go to the beach

We'll see a lot of movies, too

You promised

You promised me

I miss you...

Note: I was looking for this song's lyrics and it's English translation good thing I found one in here

The very first time I heard my friend sung this song, I suddenly felt melancholic and I never knew why. I guess it was because of the very sad melody of the song. This song reminds me a lot of wonderful memories....memories I would forever and ever cherries.
