Ayumi Hamasaki - Beloved Lyrics

[Romanized:]

Kinou no boku wa mada umaku aruke nakute
Kotoba furi mawashite dareka okitsuzuketa yo

Kyou no boku wa soshite ushiro yubi wa sasarete
Tsumetai shisen sakeru you ni uttsuite iru yo

Nee, donna fuu ni nieteru donna fuu ni utsutteru
Nee, anata dake wa hontou kikasete
Machi gatta toki wa shigatte

Itsu made mo kawaranai anata mama de
Tada soko ni soko ni ite hoshi
Itsu made mo kawarenai boku no man made
Nigochinaieta dakedo soba ni soba ni isasete

Ashita no boku ni nara sukoshikitai shiyouka?
Kuchibiru no ryou hachi kutto agete nitarishite

Nee, ima mo koukei kana mada, mada tai nai kana
Nee, anata dake wa shinjitsu wo misete
Baka dane to warai to wa shite

Ano yoru ni hanashiteta yume no tsudzuki wo
Mada oboete ite kurete masu ka?
Nani hitotsu iro aseru koto naku ima mo
Azayakana mama boku no koto no shihai shi te masu

Nee, anata dake mi wa homeraretai
Tanin (hito) ga boku wo iite shi itemo

Itsu made mo kawaranai anata no mama de
Tada soko ni soko ni ite hoshi
Itsu made mo kawarenai boku no man made
Nigochinaieta dakedo soba ni

Nee, anata mo hontou wa sonna ni tsuyoku
Nai koto wo bokura shi tte masu
Boku ga shi te agerareru koto nante nani mo
Nai keredo sono hoho itsumo dakishimete masu

[Japanese:]

昨日の僕はまだうまく歩けなくて
言葉振り回して誰かを傷つけたよ

そして今日のは僕を後ろ指指されて
冷たい視線避ける俯いている様によ

ねえどんな風に見えてる？どんな風に映ってる？
ねえあなただけは真実(ホントウ)を聞かせて
間違った時は叱って

いつまでも変わらないあなたのままで
ただそこに そこに居て欲しい
いつまでも変われない僕のまんまで
ぎこちない笑顔だけど側に 側に居させて

明日の僕になら少し期待しようか
唇の両はじ くっと上げてみたりして

ねえ今も滑稽かな？まだまだ足りないかな？
ねえあなただけは真実を見せて
「馬鹿だね」と笑い飛ばして

あの夜に話してた夢の続きを
まだ覚えていてくれてますか
何ひとつ色褪せる事なく今も
鮮やかなまま僕の心 支配してます

ねえあなただけには褒められたい
他人(ヒト)が僕を否定しても

いつまでも変わらないあなたのままで
ただそこに そこに居て欲しい
いつまでも変われない僕のまんまで
ぎこちない笑顔だけど側に

ねえあなたも本当はそんなに
強くない事を僕は知ってます
僕がしてあげられる事なんて何もないけれど
その心いつも抱きしめてます

[English translation:]

Yesterday I couldn't walk skilfully yet
And I hurt someone with my words

Today people talk behind my back
And I look down to avoid their cold stares

Hey, what do you see? how do you see me?
Hey, only you need to tell me the truth
Scold me when I'm wrong

Please never change the way you are
And simple stay here, here
I can never change but let me stay by your side, side as I am
With an awkward smile

Should I have a little faith in my future self?
I try lifting the corners of my mouth

Hey, am I still ridiculous? am I still not good enough?
Hey, only you need to show me the truth
Call me a fool and laugh it off

Do you still remember the dreams
That I talked about that night?
They still dominate my mind even now
Shining vividly, having lost no shine

Hey, others might reject me
But I only need your praise

Please never change the way you are
And simple stay here, here
I can never change but let me stay by your side as I am
With an awkward smile

Hey, I know that in truth
You're not that strong either
I can't do anything for you
But I'll forever embrace your heart
