Mousukoshi atosukoshi...

Words by Sakai Izumi/Music by Kuribayashi Seiichirou/Arrangement by Akashi Masao

Kimagurena kugatsu no ame ni
(In the whimsical September rain)
Shiroi kasa no shoujo ga surechigau
(I pass a girl holding a white umbrella)
Sagashiteta Futari no yukue
(I searched for our whereabouts)
Ima wa mada Shiritakunai
(Now I still don't want to know)
Anata no yurikago no naka Sotto nemuritai
(I want to sleep softly in your cradle)
Kokoro ni himeta namida wasure
(And forget the tears hidden in my heart)

Mou sukoshi Ato sukoshi Aisaretai
(I want to be loved a little more)
Ikenai koi to shittemo
(Even though I know this love can't be)
Mou sukoshi Anata no koto Komarasetai
(I want to bother you a little more)
Kono ai tomerarenai
(I cannot stop this love)

Omoide no Koube no machi de
(On the memorable Kobe streets)
Anata e no tegami shitatameteimasu
(I'm writing up a letter to you)
Wasureyou to Nandomo shita wa
(I've tried many times to forget [you])
Sono hou ga raku ni nareru
(This [way] is better off [can ease my pain])
Tsuishin: Anata no umareta ie wo mitekimashita
(PS: I came to see the house you were born in)
Nandaka Setsunakute natsukashikatta...
(Somehow It was painful and nostalgic...)

Mou sukoshi Ato sukoshi Soba ni itai
(I want to be by your side a little more)
Kanawanu yume to shittemo
(Even though I know this is an impossible [hopeless] dream)
Sou sukoshi Ano hito yori Deau toki ga
Ososugita dake nano
(Only because the time I met you
Is a little later than that woman)
