涙のクリスマス (Namida no kurisumasu) – Tearful Christmas
from Aki uta, fuyu uta. album.

On the other side of the intersection
I saw your profile in a white muffler
He stood next to you, in a grey jacket
The two of you smiling broadly
In the crowd three steps behind
I silently hid
So you wouldn’t notice me
I could have been a man, drawn attention to myself
But these feelings aren’t that light
Smiles come and go
In this Christmas Eve city
My contradictory heart
Lures only bitter smiles
Tearful Christmas
All alone
The night’s wind is too cold
Fixing the muffler
That had fallen from my shoulder
I walk on again
Searching for the key with frozen hands
I took a peek inside my postbox
There was a single Christmas card
From a friend
“Merry Christmas”
The lamp on my nightstand
Shines on the silver ribbon
Of the Christmas present
I can never give to you
Tonight, in this city where I was born
I will be scraping away all the snow
That had accumulated thus far, while lamenting
That “I’m doing just fine”
Tearful Christmas
All alone
The night’s wind is too cold
Fixing the muffler
That had fallen from my shoulder
I walk on again

Shingou machi no mukou gawa
Shiroi mafuraa kimi no yokogao
Tonari ni tatsu guree no jaketto
Hokorondeiru futari no egao
Sanpo ushiro no hitogomi ni
Kizukarenu you
Sotto kakureta
Otoko rashiku mi wo hikeba ii kedo
Sonna ni karui omoi ja nai yo
Egao ga yuki kau
Kurisumasu ibu no machi
Urahara na kokoro ga
Nigawarai wo sasou
Namida no kurisumasu
Hitori kiri ni
Yoru no kaze wa tsumeta sugite
Kata kara ochita
Mafuraa naoshite
Mou ichido aruki dasu
Kajikanda te de kagi wo sagashi
Posuto no naka wo nozoite mita
Tomodachi kara no kurisumasu kaado
Tatta ichimai
“Merry Christmas”
Sutando no akari ga
Gin no ribon wo terasu
Mou watasu koto no nai
Kurisumasu purezento
Konya wa boku no umareta machi ni
Imagoro tsumoru yuki no koto wo
Kiri dashi nagara yowane wo haku yo
“Genki de kurashiteru” to
Namida no kurisumasu
Hitori kiri ni
Yoru no kaze wa tsumeta sugite
Kata kara ochita
Mafuraa naoshite
Mou ichido aruki dasu

信号待ちの向こう側
白いマフラー君の横顔
となりに立つグレーのジャケット
ほころんでいる 2人の笑顔
三歩うしろの人ごみに
気づかれぬよう
そっとかくれた
男らしく身をひけばいいけど
そんなに軽い想いじゃないよ
笑顔が行き交う
クリスマスイブの街
うらはらな心が
苦笑いをさそう
涙のクリスマス
1人きりに
夜の風は冷たすぎて
肩からおちた
マフラーなおして
もう1度歩き出す
かじかんだ手でかぎをさがし
ポストの中をのぞいてみた
友達からのクリスマスカード
たった1枚
“Merry Christmas”
スタンドの灯りが
銀のリボンをてらす
もう わたすことのない
クリスマスプレゼント
今夜は僕の生まれた街に
今頃 積もる雪のことを
切り出しながら弱音をはくよ
“元気で暮らしてる”と
涙のクリスマス
1人きりに
夜の風は冷たすぎて
肩からおちた
マフラーなおして
もう1度歩き出す
