English Romaji

I can't rely on promises
Chikai ni tayorenai
Limited time offer if you share on social media Sono ba kagiri SHEA shidai
A glass and rum raisins GURASU to RAMURE-ZUN
For that girl over there, the evasive type Kawasu TAIPU no ano ko ni
Humming that others call hard to listen to Mimi-zawari da to iwareta hanauta
A White Tiger Corps that never stops crying Nakijakuru byakkotai1
This LP hasn't yet gotten so old it's yellow Kibandenai REKO-DO ni ha
So we painted it with clingy caramel and embraced2 KARAMERU de iro wo tsukete dakishimeta

That habit everyone hated, it found its voice
Kirawareta kuse ha utawaseru you ni
And before I knew it, it turned into rock and roll, and it was actually better that way Kidzukanai uchi ROKKUNRO-RU ni natte gyaku ni yokatta
In that green twilight, you can't even call it silly Kudaranai to mo ienai midori no yuugure ha
With our little knowledge, we would belittle each other and then hold hands Toboshii chishiki de anadoriatte ha te tsunagiatta

Towards the gap where we can agree it's true
Tashikani to mitomeaeru sukima he
I want to know what happens if I meet you as an adult Otona ni natte deatte-mitai
Whatever space or time we were in Dono kuukan, jikantai ni itatte
I feel like we couldn't connect, and it makes me sad Tsunagenakatta you na kanashimi datte
Until we can hold on and say no, that's wrong Sore ha chigau to mamorikireru made
I want to know what happens if I meet you as a child Kodomo ni natte deatte-mitai
Any meeting that isn't here and now is so fleeting Ima de ha nai deai ha hakanakute
Before this goodbye that's like forgetting Wasurete-shimau you na o-wakare no mae ni

If I stayed silent
Damarikondetara
This stupid distance Kudaranai kyori dake ga
Would get so awkwardly impatient Gikochinaku asetteku
The awkwardness would get sharp Gikochinasa ga togatteku

Towards the gap where we can agree it's true
Tashikani to mitomeaeru sukima he
I want to know what happens if I meet you as an adult Otona ni natte deatte-mitai
Whatever space or time we were in Dono kuukan, jikantai ni itatte
I feel like we couldn't connect, and it makes me sad Tsunagenakatta you na kanashimi datte
Until we can hold on and say no, that's wrong Sore ha chigau to mamorikireru made
I want to know what happens if I meet you as a child Kodomo ni natte deatte-mitai
Any meeting that isn't here and now is so fleeting Ima de ha nai deai ha hakanakute
Before this goodbye that's like forgetting Wasurete-shimau you na o-wakare no mae ni

What to do~
Do-shiyokka ne
Everything with positive thoughts Subete PURASU shikou de
Start singing, now Utaidashite ne
Even if it's hard to listen to Mimi-zawari datte
I can't even see how crazy focused I am on laughing out loud Kidzukenai kurai ni hisshi koite warai ageru
So anyone would think I purposefully, pretty intentionally Waza to wari to ishikiteki ni hitori de itai n da to
Want to be alone Omowareru you ni

Lashing out, pretending to go to bed
Tanka kitte, neru furi-shite
Lashing out, pretending to work on it Tanka kitte, neru furi-shite3

1 The White Tiger Corps (白虎隊) was a military unit made up of the teenaged sons of local samurai families, which fought in the Boshin War in 1868. Several of their members, cut off from the rest of their unit, committed seppuku when they incorrectly believed the battle they were fighting had been lost and that their families and lords had all been killed. Though their commanding shogunate did lose the war, many other members of the corps survived the conflict.
2 "Caramel" here is likely a pun on the verb 絡める, to mix together or be entwined.
3 There are two verbs used here that are homophones. 寝る means to lie down or go to bed, and 練る is a trickier verb that means to work a material into a more refined form (to knead, to polish or practice, to temper, to tan, to soften, etc).
4 A purely orthographic flourish to include part of the singer ACAね's stage name: どーしよっCAね
