Description
An awkward, funny and heartwarming fantasy about what could have been: not superhero feats, but little things that save you from loneliness - taking a map and a thermos to get lost together, showering each other with silly ‘I love you’s until the sleepy ‘enough, let me sleep,’ mentally bookmarking the other person's shoulders, heart, and room. It sounds like a draft diary, where big feelings are hidden behind jokes and exaggerations, but in reality it's a song about the simplest thing - the desire to be so close that even small worries turn into magic.
Lyrics and translation
Original
もし僕が君の恋人になれた時は
同じ気持ちになれたそのあかつきには
毎日3時間は君の事を考える
だけじゃなくてそれを君に言うよ
でも待てよ よく考えりゃそれって
君の頭とか肩とかに触ってもいんでしょ
あぁそれは何とも Ah
もしも君が眠れなくて寂しい時には
思い付くだけの愛の言葉をお届けしよう
うざったくて笑っちゃうくらい
アイラビュー アイラビュー
それで君は眠くなって
うるさいもう寝ようって言われたいぜ
もし僕が君の 恋人になれた時は
同じ気持ちに なれたそのあかつきには
全体的に君を 楽しませつつも僕が
幸せになる事でしょう
でも待てよ よく考えりゃそれって
君の心とか部屋とかに入ってもいんでしょ
あぁそれは何とも Ah
もしも君が道に迷い泣き出す時には
地図と毛布と水筒を
持ってくから一緒に迷おうぜ
もし僕が君の恋人になれた時は
同じ気持ちになれたそのあかつきには
君への想いをこんな歌に乗せて
逆に乗せられて
あぁ君に歌うぜ今日も Ah
もしも君が眠れなくて寂しい時には
思い付くだけの愛の言葉をお届けしよう
うざったくて笑っちゃうくらい
アイラビュー アイラビュー
君もいつかつられちゃって
私幸せだよって言われたいぜ
English translation
If I could be your lover
In the light that made me feel the same way
I think about you for 3 hours every day
Not only that, I'll tell you that
But wait, if you think about it, that's it.
Is it okay if I touch your head or shoulders?
Ah, that's indescribable Ah
If you can't sleep and feel lonely
I'll send you as many words of love as I can think of.
It's so annoying that I laugh
Aira View Aira View
Then you got sleepy
It's so noisy, I want to be told to go to sleep now
If I could be your lover
At that moment when we felt the same way,
While I'm entertaining you overall, I
you'll be happy
But wait, if you think about it, that's it.
Can I enter your heart and your room?
Ah, that's indescribable Ah
If you get lost and start crying
Map, blanket, and water bottle
I'll bring it to you, so let's get lost together.
If I could be your lover
In the light that made me feel the same way
Putting my feelings for you into a song like this
being put in reverse
Ah, I'll sing to you today too Ah
If you can't sleep and feel lonely
I'll send you as many words of love as I can think of.
It's so annoying that I laugh
Aira View Aira View
Someday you'll get hit too
I want to be told that I'm happy
