I Want To See You

A sweet love song conveying strong desires to see the other person, more than any one else in his world. This song is easily one of the most emotional and bitter in the world of Japanese music. Much reminiscing, regrets and hopes of seeing the person again is well spread out through this wonderful song. The singer’s melancholic vibratos adds to the sorrow of this masterpiece.

Lyrics and translations:

kimi ni aitakute     dare yori mo aitakute
mou ichido kono te o tsunaide hoshii
[I want to see you     I want to see you more than anyone
Once more, I want you to hold my hand]

kono heya ni mada okiwasureta     kimi no omokage o sagashiteiru yo
me o tojireba ima mo kimi ga     soba ni iru you na ki ga shite
itsuka wa atarimae no you ni
wakare ga kuru koto     wakatteita no ni
[I'm looking for vestages of your presence     still left over in this room
If I close my eyes, even now     I can almost feel you next to me
I always took it for granted
Even though I knew     that we would part]

kimi ni aitakute     dare yori mo aitakute
wasureru koto nante     deki ya shinai kara
kimi ga mienakute     nando mo kizutsuketa keredo
mou ichido kono te o tsunaide hoshii
[I want to see you     I want to see you more than anyone
I simply cannot     forget about you
I cannot see you     I've hurt you so many times, but
Once more, I want you to hold my hand]

deatta shunkan ni koi ni ochite     omowazu kimi o dakishimeteita
sonna boku ni warainagara     “baka ne” to karuku kisu o shite…
daremo ga deai to wakare no naka de
tashika na ai ni     kizuiteiku
[The moment we met, I fell in love     and without thinking, I hugged you
You laughed at me and said     "You silly" and gently kissed me...
From the time they meet until the time they part
No one realizes     true love]

kimi ni aitakute     dare yori mo aitakute
hajimete kimi ni atta     hoshizora no shita de
kimi ni tsutaetai     todokanai omoi demo
boku no kokoro wa mada kimi o sagashiteiru
[I want to see you     I want to see you more than anyone
The first time I met you     underneath the starry sky
I want to tell you     about the feelings that haven't reached you
My heart is still searching for you]

itsuka wa atarimae no you ni
wakare ga kuru koto     wakatteita no ni
[I always took it for granted
Even though I knew     that we would part]

kimi ni aitakute     dare yori mo aitakute
wasureru koto nante     deki ya shinai kara
kimi no tame nara     sou kimi no tame nara…
[I want to see you     I want to see you more than anyone
I simply cannot     forget about you
If it's for you     Yes, if it's for you...]

mou ichido kono te o tsunaide hoshii
itsumo tsunaida te wa atatakakatta
[Once more, I want you to hold my hand
Your hand held in mine was always warm]
