ENGLISH (Translation)
Be closer to me
Let me trust you more
You are a little insensitive, or should I say clumsy
I like that about you
But please care about my girlish mind a little
Just sometimes
Though it's not easy for me to be meek
And stop pretending to be strong
It's no one but you that I need
That alone is certain and unchangeable
I'm whispering softly
A strong love, softly
I wonder if it will reach you
And echo in your heart
I'm whispering softly
A strong love, softly
I wonder if it will reach you clearly some day
It's even better to take a roundabout way
I know we'll be able to understand each other
I can almost imagine for some reason
What you want to say
I always change subject at important times
Don't you think so?
I can't step forward decisively
Because it can't be that I'm not afraid
Don't you accept what I am
All taken together?
Be closer to me
Let me trust you more
Am I really
In your eyes?
Be closer to me
I want you to let me trust you more
Am I depending on you too much?
I don't have a mind to change you
And I'm still the same
But I think we are OK as we are
Don't you think so?
Be by my side forever
Trust me forever
You see? I'm whispering softly
A strong love, softly
I wonder if it will reach you
And echo in your heart
I'm whispering softly
A strong love, softly
I wonder if it will reach you clearly some day
It's even better to take a roundabout way
I know we'll be able to understand each othe
