Kono Hagakure

コノ葉に隠した貴方への一途な恋
見つめることばかりを極めた

konoha ni kakushita anata e no ichizu na koi
mitsumeru koto bakari wo kiwameta

I feel wholehearted love for you, hidden among these leaves.
But I've settled for merely looking from a distance…

落ち葉を踏む音は隠さない
気付いて… けれど潜むは矛盾
己の弱さは憎み飽きた
譲れぬ思いが積もるばかり

ochiba wo fumu oto wa kakusanai
kidzuite… keredo hisomu wa mujun
onore no yowasa wa nikumi akita
yuzurenu omoi ga tsunoru bakari

I don't conceal the sound of my steps on the fallen leaves.
I want you to notice… yet I hide, it's contradictory.
I've gotten tired of hating this weakness of mine.
My unrelenting feelings only keep on piling up.

優等に話す夢の私
今はそれさえ羨む

yuutou ni hanasu yume no watashi
ima wa sore sae urayamu

In my dreams I know the right things to say.
Right now I even envy that version of me.

コノ葉隠レした恋心 いつもの距離
見つめることばかりを極めた
いっそ風に散れと
扇を振るえど声が出せず
永遠に見守るだけ

konohagakure shita koigokoro itsumo no kyori
mitsumeru koto bakari wo kiwameta
isso kaze ni chire to
ougi wo furuedo koe ga dasezu
eien ni mimamoru dake

My love hidden among these leaves is at the usual distance.
I've settled for merely looking from a distance…
I'd rather they'd disperse in the wind.
I wave my fan, but I can't say anything.
Only watching over you, forever…

普段の貴方のこと知るため
目線を逸らす上手さが憎い
誰も知らず 朽ちてしまうなら
期待せず打ち明けようか

fudan no anata no koto shiru tame
mesen wo sorasu umasa ga nikui
daremo shirazu kuchiteshimau nara
kitaisezu uchiakeyou ka

Because I want to get to know you, as you always are,
I hate how good I am at averting my eyes.
If it'll end up forgotten before anyone notices,
Should I open up, without getting my hopes up?

コノ葉隠レした恋心 立ち上がった
捨て身とは言えぬ小さな勇気
どうか出来れば優しく
拒んで欲しいと願って
情けない恋は進む

konohagakure shita koigokoro tachiagatta
sutemi to wa ienu chiisa na yuuki
douka dekireba yasashiku
kobande hoshii to negatte
nasakenai koi wa susumu

My love hidden among these leaves rose up.
A small act of bravery you can't call life-risking.
Please, if possible, be kind to me…
As I wish for you to reject me,
My pathetic love continues.

答えを求めた恋に準備は無かった
貴方はとても驚いていた
そして今まで出来たことが
あっただろうと嘆いて
不器用に後悔した

kotae wo motometa koi ni junbi wa nakatta
anata wa totemo odoroita
soshite ima made dekita koto ga
atta darou to nageite
bukiyou ni koukaishita

I was unprepared for this love, in search of answers.
You took me entirely by surprise.
“And there have been things I have managed
To do before this, right?” I lamented,
In my awkward regret.

貴方は私の切望に触れて
素直に嬉しいと笑みくれた
頼り近くで笑いあう
自然体な二人に
何か芽生える気がした

anata wa watashi no zetsubou ni furete
sunao ni ureshii to emikurete
tayori chikaku de waraiau
jizentai na futari ni
nanika mebaeru ki ga shita

You were touched by my desperate longing.
And smiled at me with genuine happiness
Close to someone to rely on, we both laughed.
As we were open to each other,
I got the feeling something sprouted.

今日も貴方が眩しい

kyou mo anata ga mabushii

You are as radiant as ever today.
