"1991" lyrics
[Romanized:]
Kiminokoe ga kikoeta yōna ki ga shite
Boku wa furimuita
1991 boku wa umareta
Kutsu bakari mitsumete ikiteita
Itsumo waratte kakushita kienai
Kizu to sabishisa o
1991 koi o shite ita
Hikaru kako o nozoku yō ni
Nē kon'nani kantan'na koto ni
Kidzukenakatta nda
Yasashiku nante nakatta
Boku wa tada itsu made mo (kimi to itakatta)
Yuki no yō ni
Hirari hirari ochiru sakura
Kimi no inai
Jinsei o tae rarerudarou ka
Doko de dare to nani o shite ite mo
Koko janakatta
Ikiteita kumo
Shinitaku mo nakatta
Itsumo tōku o mite iru furi shite
Nakisakebitakatta
1991 koi o shite ita
Sugita kako ni sugaru yō ni
Nē chīsaku yuraida hate ni
Bokura deatta nda
Iki ga dekinakatta
Boku wa tada itsu made mo kimi to itakatta
Yuki no yō ni
Hirari hirari ochiru sakura
Kimi no inai
Jinsei o tae rarerudarou ka
1991 boku wa matataku yō ni
Koi o shita
1991 itsumo yumemiru yō ni
Ikiteita
[Japanese:]
君の声が聞こえたような気がして
僕は振り向いた
1991 僕は生まれた
靴ばかり見つめて生きていた
いつも笑って隠した消えない
傷と寂しさを
1991恋をしていた
光る過去を覗くように
ねえ こんなに簡単なことに
気づけなかったんだ
優しくなんてなかった
僕はただいつまでも (君といたかった)
雪のように
ひらりひらり落ちる桜
君のいない
人生を耐えられるだろうか
どこで誰と何をしていても
ここじゃなかった
生きていたくも
死にたくもなかった
いつも遠くを見ているふりして
泣き叫びたかった
1991 恋をしていた
過ぎた過去に縋るように
ねえ 小さく揺らいだ果てに
僕ら出会ったんだ
息ができなかった
僕はただいつまでも君といたかった
雪のように
ひらりひらり落ちる桜
君のいない
人生を耐えられるだろうか
1991 僕は瞬くように
恋をした
1991 いつも夢見るように
生きていた
[English translation:]
It felt like I heard your voice
And I turned around
In 1991, I was born
Living while only staring at my shoes
I always laughed and hid
The wounds and loneliness that wouldn't disappear
In 1991, I was in love
Like peeking into a shining past
Hey, I couldn't realize
Such a simple thing
There was no kindness
I just wanted to be with you forever (I wanted to be with you)
Like snow
Cherry blossoms falling gently
Without you
Can I endure this life?
No matter where, with whom, or what I do
This wasn't the place
I didn't want to live
Nor did I want to die
Always pretending to look into the distance
I wanted to cry out
In 1991, I was in love
As if clinging to the past that has passed
Hey, at the end of a small sway
We met
I couldn't breathe
I just wanted to be with you forever
Like snow
Cherry blossoms falling gently
Without you
Can I endure this life?
In 1991, I fell in love in the blink of an eye
In 1991, always living as if dreaming
