この誰もいない部屋で
安らぎに誘われて
振り返るといつも君が側にいた
君はただ…はにかんで
僕の指先にふれる
始まりはいつも突然で
街角で僕は君に恋をした
君はただ…微笑んで
不思議そうに僕を見てた
壊れそうな細いからだは出会った頃の
優しい笑顔の面影さえも残さずに
目が覚めれば涙の理由を時間をかけて話すから…
どうして誰もいないこの部屋で
からだが震えるんだろう
教えて…
消えてしまいそうになるその小さな声で
僕の名前を呼ぶ姿が忘れられなくて
振り返ればあの時のままの君が今もいるようで…
どうして誰もいないこの部屋で
からだが震えるんだろう
教えて…
どうして誰もいないこの部屋で
涙がこぼれるんだろう
教えて…
もう一度抱きしめさせて…
Kono Dare mo Inai Heya de

Alone In This Room
When a feeling of peacefulness
prompted me to turn and look, you were always there
You were just… shyly
touching my fingertips
The beginning is always sudden
I fell in love with you on the street corner
You were just… smiling
giving me a mysterious look
Your slender body seems so fragile
leaving not a trace of your gentle smile from when we met
If it will open your eyes, I’ll talk at length about the reason for my tears…1
Why, in this lonely room,
is my body shaking?
Tell me…
I can’t forget the sight of you calling my name
in that little voice that is beginning to seem like it will vanish
It seems like if I turn around you’ll be there even now, just like you were back then…
Why, in this lonely room,
is my body shaking?
Tell me…
Why, in this lonely room,
are these tears overflowing?
Tell me…
Let me hold you one more time…
1. Written 理由 riyuu sung わけ wake. Both words mean “reason”, but perhaps 理由 is a little more in depth.
NOTES:
The title of this song is “kono dare mo inai heya de” while the lyrics are “dare mo inai kono heya de“. Both of them literally mean “in this room that has no one in it”, but the lyrics emphasize the lack of people. Unfortunately, in English, an “empty” room can be one with no objects in it, and “alone” can’t be used to describe a room, so we can’t express the exact same thing as the Japanese neatly.
The Japanese suggests without explicitly stating that the point-of-view character is alone with the deceased character.
