Elma エルマ 8/31

English	Romaji
Touch me even though you know I'm a liar	Usotsuki nante wakatte furete
Elma - still, even still, it hurts	ERUMA, mada, mada itai yo¹
Sing something, even if it's goodbye, please	Mou sayonara datte utatte
Through the dusk until the night comes down	Kurete² yoru ga kuru made
Morning sun shines down and drips through the leaves, Elma and I	Asahi no sasu komorebi, boku to ERUMA
You're still, you're still waking up?	Mada, mada nemui kai
The forest in May, the beginning of summer drawing near	Shoka no hajime chikadzuku gogatsu no mori
As you walk along, dew falls from the blossoms to your face	Arukidashita kao ni ha hana no shizuku
Look here - it looks like tears	Hora, namida mitai da
I can feel myself about to yawn	Kono mama akubi wo shiyou
So if you don't mind, let's find a place to sit again	Nannara mata isu ni demo suwarou
There isn't such a thing as something unforgivable	Yurusenai koto nante nai n da yo
And you can become such a thing as kind	Kimi ha yasashiku nante nareru
Just like this, in a faraway land somewhere	Kono mama dokoka no tooi kuni de
Sprawled out on my back in a gap in the young summertime	Asai natsu no sukima ni nesobetta mama
Unable to shed either my tears or my words	Namida mo kotoba mo denai mama de
And simply unfamiliar with the depth of the night	Tada yoru no fukasa mo shiranai mama de
Touch me even though you know I'm a liar	Usotsuki nante wakatte furete
Elma - still, even still, it hurts	ERUMA, mada, mada itai yo
Sing something, even if it's goodbye, please	Mou sayonara datte utatte
Through the dusk until the night comes down	Kurete yoru ga kuru made
If I can't see the painful things, the sad things, I won't know that they exist at all	Tsurai koto mo kurushii koto mo nanimo mienai nara wakaranai shi
So when I fled, my eyes were covered and closed	Fusaida me tojita mama de nigeta
I will walk along the path of the moonlight	Tsukiakari no michi wo aruku
The small rooms and the cold nights	Semai heya mo tsumetai yoru mo
The sleepy afternoons and the lonely mornings	Nemui hiru mo sabishii asa mo
I'm looking at your face from the other side of the word "goodbye"	Sayonara no kotoba-goshi ni kimi no kao wo miteru
Just like this, in a faraway land somewhere	Kono mama dokoka no tooi kuni de
Sprawled out on my back in a gap in the young summertime	Asai natsu no sukima ni nesobetta mama
Unable to shed either my tears or my words	Namida mo kotoba mo denai mama de
And simply having looked at nothing but the blue of the sky	Tada sora no aosa dake mita mama de
Simply with you, knowing nothing at all of an end	Tada kimi to owari mo shiranai mama de
Touch me though you know I'm a liar	Usotsuki nante wakatte furete
Elma - still, even still, it hurts	ERUMA, mada, mada itai yo
Sing something, even if it's goodbye, please	Mou sayonara datte utatte
Through the dusk until the night comes down	Kurete yoru ga kuru made

¹ 痛い (itai, "painful") here is a grammatically viable homophone for いたい (itai, "I want to stay"). まだいたいよ could be translated "I want to stay here still" or "I don't want to leave yet".

² The word "kurete" here is written 暮れて "to grow dark", "to come to a close", connecting it to the coming of the night later in the line. However, it's also a homophone for 呉れて "please"/"for me" and connects musically and grammatically with the line before it as well. I've translated its meanings separately on both lines to account for this.
