Dakishimenaide
Watashi no akogare
Hisoka na ude no naka
Kono mama de ii kara

Don't hold on to me,
My longing,
In your secret embrace
I'm fine the way I am

Sono aoi hitomi
Utsukushii orokasa
Anata o nani mo kamo
Kiseki da to shinjita

Those blue eyes
The beauty of foolishness
I believed everything about you
Was a miracle

Hito wa gondora ni nori tada yoinagareru
Deai soshite wakare
Mijikai manatsu
Kanashimi to yorokobi kurikaeshite

People ride a gondola and float off
We meet and then we part
A short mid-summer
Repeat the sadness and happiness over again

Itsuka wa owaru hitotoki no koi demo
Anata wa eien o watashi ni nokosu darou

But this one-time love will end eventually
You will stay in my heart for eternity

Mizu o fukunda kaze ga hoho o nadeteyuku
Nani mo kamo wasurete
Kowashiteshimae

A damp wind will stroke my face
Forget everything
Break it off

Konna chiisa na jibun mo ashita mo
Anata o aishiteru

This small me
Will love you tomorrow, too

Dakishimenaide
Watashi no akogare
Hisoka na ude no naka
Kono mama de ii kara

Don't hold on to me,
My longing,
In your secret embrace
I'm fine the way I am
