Itsu no ma ni yara hizuke wa kawatte

いつの間にやら日付は変わって
なんで年って取るんだろう
もう背は伸びないくせに
着信の音で飛び起きたけど損したな
君かと思ったのに
何かの手違いで
好きになってくれないかな
どうにも君のいない場所は
空気が薄くてさ
くだらない話は思い付くのに
君を抱き締めていい理由だけが見付からない
ああそうか そうだよな
ハッピーバースデー 片想いの俺
愛が何かは知らないけれど
好きと言う名前の痛みになら詳しいかも
君にも教えてあげたいけれど結局
教わるのは俺だろう
このまま今日が終わり明日が来れば
いつになっても縮まらないこの距離を
駆け引きにも綱引きにもならないやり取りを
もっと単純な名前で呼んであげられるよ
何ひとつ終われないけど
つまらない言葉の繰り返しで
つじつまもきっと合ってない物語の続きに
ひとりよがりの毎日に
ハッピーバースデー
君に言って欲しいだけ
くだらない話は思い付くのに
君を抱き締めていい理由だけが見付からない
ああそうか そうだよな
ハッピーバースデー 片想いの俺
ハッピーバースデー 片想いの俺
English Translation
Before I knew it, the date had changed,
Why do we grow older anyway?
Even though I've stopped growing taller
Woke up to the sound of a notification,
What a letdown—
I thought it might be you
Wouldn't it be nice,
If by some mistake, you started loving me?
Without you,
The air feels so thin wherever I am
I can think of all sorts of silly things to say,
But I can't find a single reason
To hold you close
Ah, I see… that's how it is
Happy Birthday, to me and my unrequited love
I don't know what love really is,
But I'm well-acquainted with the ache
That comes with saying, "I like you"
I'd love to teach you about it,
But in the end, I'm the one who's still learning
If today ends and tomorrow begins,
This distance between us will never shrink
This exchange, which isn't a game or a tug of war,
Could have a simpler name,
If only I knew what to call it
Nothing ever comes to an end, though
A string of meaningless words repeated,
A story where the pieces never quite fit
Still, in this selfish, one-sided daily life,
What I want most is to hear you say it:
"Happy Birthday."
I can think of all sorts of silly things to say,
But I can't find a single reason
To hold you close
Ah, I see… that's how it is
Happy Birthday, to me and my unrequited love
Happy Birthday,
To me and my unrequited love
