Koibito-yo My Love

KOIBITOYO 恋人よ

Kareha chiru yugure wa
枯れは　散る　夕暮れ　は
Autumn leaves falling at dusk


Kuru hi no samusa o mono gatari
来る　日の　寒さをものがたり　
Show signs of the approaching cold


Ame ni kowareta benchi ni wa
雨に　壊れた　ベンチには
On this bench broken by the rain


Ai o sasayaku uta mo nai
愛を　囁く　歌　もない
There are no whispers of love songs



Chorus:
*koibito yo sobani ite
恋人よ　そばにいて
My dearest love, please stay with me,


Kogoeru watashi no soba ni ite yo
凍える　私　の　そばにいてよ
It’s freezing cold, please stay with me


Soshite hitokoto
そして　一言
Then say a word to me


Kono wakare banashi ga
この　別れ　ばなしが
That this parting story

Jodan dayo to Waratte hoshii
冗談　だよと　笑って　欲しい
Was a joke that we can laugh about




Jarimichi o kakeashi de
砂利道　を　駆け足で
On the pebbled street running


Marason hito ga yuki sugiru
マラソン　人が　行き　過ぎる
A marathon jogger passing by


Marude bokyaku nozomu yoni
まるで　忘却　の　ぞむ　ように　
As if he wants me to forget


Tomaru watashi o sasotte iru
止まる　私　を　誘っている
He stopped and is urging me


Koibito yo sayonara
恋人　よ　さようなら
My dearest love, farewell


Kisetsu wa megutte kuru kedo
季節　は　めぐって　来る　けど
Seasons go around though


Ano hi no futari yoi no nagareboshi
あの日の　二人　宵　の　流れ星
Those days the two of us like the evening shooting stars

Hikatte wa kieru mujo no yume yo
光っては　消える　　無　じょお　の　夢　よ
Shining and then disappearing like passing dreams

Koibito yo sobani ite
恋人よ　そばにいて
My dearest love, please stay with me,

Kogoeru watashi no soba ni ite yo
凍える　私　の　そばにいてよ
It’s freezing cold, please stay with me

Soshite hitokoto
そして　一言
Then say a word to me


Kono wakare banashi ga
この　別れ　ばなしが
That this parting story


Jodan dayo to Waratte hoshii
冗談　だよと　笑って　欲しい
Was a joke that we can laugh about
