DAY6 - If ~また逢えたら～（mata aetara) Lyrics + English Translation

Hi. It's been a while.
Who am I kidding, it's been forever. Honestly, I didn't even think I would ever come back to post anything in this blog. I'm so outdated with Japanese songs lately. But it so happened that my favorite band, DAY6, is releasing a Japanese song and I just had to translate it.
I posted it in my Twitter (@onionleader) few days ago but I realized that it may not pop up in Google searches so yeah, hello Blogger.
Anyway, the lyrics are based on what I hear from the MV so there are parts I'm still uncertain about. I'll update when official lyrics are out. updated! I messed up a bit on brian's rap part lol but it's all fixed now!

UPDATE: For a set of all translations from the album UNLOCK, check this link >> UNLOCK

Much love,
Jia.

Japanese Lyrics

Kimi ga nokoshita kotoba mada

Kono mune uzuiteru

Machi de nita you na ko wo mite wa

Aseru jibun ni iraku tsuita

Konagona ni kudakita memory

Kantan ni modoru wake nai jan

Moshimo guuzen bokura ga

Kono machi no katasumi de surechigattemo

Kitto mou kao mo shiranai

Tanin no youni toorisugiru dake sa

Tatoeba mata meguriau toshitemo

Nanoni kimi wa itta “mata aetara”

Sousa bokura wa onaji kurai aishite kizutsuketa

Kari ni yarinaoseta toshite mo

Kitto onaji ketsumasu sa

Sanzan ni koboreochita pieces

Nidoto mitaku wa nai kara

Moshimo itsuka bokura ga

Chigau dareka to koi ni ochita no nara

Itami mo kanashimi sae mo

Omoide no naka wasuresareru hazu sa

Matsuwaritsuita ano hi no kotoba

Furidashita ame ga kakikesu youni

You and I, I guess we didn’t know what it meant

When we said “I’ll love you till the end”

Should have added “if” or something like it

Mou modorenai

Oh wow, I wish I never knew you baby

All the things I could’ve done instead of being

Down and frowning, wanting you back and whining
For way too long, I was hiding

Moshimo guuzen bokura ga

Kono machi no katasumi de surechigattemo

Kitto mou kao mo shiranai

Tanin no youni toorisugiru dake sa

Tatoeba mata meguriau toshitemo

Nanoni kimi wa itta “mata aetara”

English Translation

The words you left are still

Throbbing deep inside my heart

When I see someone that resembles you in the streets

It makes me flustered and irritated

The memories that had been smashed into pieces

Can’t be restored easily

If by chance, we happen to

Run into each other in the corners of this city

Surely, I won’t recognize your face anymore

And we’ll just pass each other like strangers

Even if we happen to meet again

Nonetheless, you said “if we meet again”

That’s right – we loved and hurt each other equally

Even if we can do it all over again temporarily

We’ll only meet the same end

Because I don’t want to see for the second time

The pieces that had been completely smashed

If someday both of us

Fall in love with a different person

The pain and the sadness

Should be left behind, in memories

Let the heavy downpour erase

The words that keeps lingering from that day

You and I, I guess we didn’t know what it meant

When we said “I’ll love you till the end”

Should have added “if” or something like it

We can't go back now

Oh wow, I wish I never knew you baby

All the things I could’ve done instead of being
Down and frowning, wanting you back, and whining
For way too long, I was hiding

If by chance, we happen to

Run into each other in the corners of this city

Surely, I won’t recognize your face anymore

And we’ll just pass each other like strangers

Even if we happen to meet again

Nonetheless, you said “if we meet again”
