"Embrace" by Bump of Chicken

So in the last two posts I put up some vocabulary lists that were intended to be preparation for learning a song in Japanese. I was going to go to karaoke shortly afterwards and wow my girlfriend with a surprise rendition of her favorite Bump of Chicken number. But then the karaoke evening got cancelled and two months went by... However, I finally got a chance to serenade her the other night and ...it was a triumphant success! Back in the day when I first came to Japan I used to study J-pop quite a bit. It's a good way to impress your Japanese friends/colleagues and an excellent way to build up your vocabulary, and improve your grammar, pronunciation and reading skills too! Here, finally, for your benefit are the lyrics in both kana and romaji and then of course the song itself. Bit of a tearjerker this one:

隠れてないで　出てこいよ　この部屋は大丈夫
Kakuretenaide detekoiyo kono heya ha daijoubu
鼓動の音は　ふたつ　ふたつ以上も以下もない
Kodou no oto wa futatsu futatsu ijou mo ika mo nai

逃げ道の途中　飛び込んだ　この部屋の中で
Nigemichi no tochuu tobikonda kono heya no naka de
君は僕に見つかった　首輪の無い姿で
Kimi wa boku ni mitsu katta kubi wa no nai sugata de

震えてるのはきっと　寒さのせいだけじゃないな
Furueteru no wa kitto samusa no sei dake ja nai na
どんな台詞もきっと　役に立たないな
Donna serifu mo kitto yaku ni tata nai na

腕の中へおいで　抱えた孤独の
Ude no naka he oide kakaeta kodoku no
その輪郭を　撫でてやるよ
Sono rinkaku wo nadete yaru yo
明かりの無い部屋で　言葉もくたびれて
Akari no nai heya de kotoba mokutabirete
確かなものは　温もりだけ
Tashika na mono wa nukumori dake

君が　そこに居ないと気付いたら　とにかく探すだろう
Kimi ga soko ni inai to kiduitara tonikaku sagasu darou
「そこに居る」のに「居ない」と　気付く時もあるだろう
“Soko ni iru” no ni “inai” to kiduku toki mo aru darou

この眼が視力を失くしても　僕は君を見るだろう
Kono me ga shiryoku wo naku shitemo boku wa kimi wo miru darou
体中の細胞　フル動員で　君を見るだろう
Karadajuu no saibou furu douin de kimi wo miru darou

呼吸の音がする　柔かい匂いもある
Kokyuu no oto ga suru yawarakakai nioi mo aru
全てこの手のひらに　集めて閉じ込めるよ
Subete kono te no hira ni atsumete tojikomeru yo

腕の中へおいで　隠した痛みの
Ude no naka he oide kakushita itami no
その傷口に　触れてみるよ
Sono kizuguchi ni furete miru yo
時間の無い部屋で　理由も忘れて
Jikan no nai heya de riyuu mo wasurete
確かなものを　探しただけ　見つけただけ
Tashika na mono wo sagashita dake mitsuketa dake

腕の中へおいで　醜い本音を
Ude no naka he oide minikui honne wo
紡いだ場所に　キスをするよ
Tsumuida basho ni kisu wo suru yo
命の無い世界で　僕と同じ様に
Inochi no nai sekai de boku to onaji you ni
生きてるものを　探しただけ
Ikiteru mono wo sagashita dake

腕の中へおいで　怖がらないでおいで
Ude no naka he oide kowagara nai de oide
生きてるものを　見つけただけ
Ikiteru mono wo mitsuketa dake
確かなものは　温もりだけ
Tashika na mono wa nukumori dake
