English translation
Trying not to hurt anyone
and trying to keep yourself from getting hurt
You, who bears scars that can’t be healed
Though your kindness is kind of clumsy
And you put on such obvious displays of strength
Every time I see your smile, I like you more and more
Don’t suddenly turn quiet You warm up my heart
Sparks of love that I gaze at
The image of me that’s reflected in your eyes Don’t let that disappear!
I’m closer to you than anyone
Don’t keep up the act
I want you to rely on me more
“I’m fine like this” you say unconvincingly, and laugh
But I just want to hug you and hold you tight
Feeling like I’ll be crushed by this love
No matter what happens
I know we can overcome anything
and I want to keep encouraging you, always
So don’t store your feelings away
I want you to pour them out before it turns painful
I want you to need me more
I want to feel needed, always and forever
Liking you this much…
Don’t leave me alone anymore When we first met
You were the one who was more crazy about me
Please remember that feeling
Let it color the world before your eyes
Lately, I feel like I’m so weak
Becoming fearful of looking straight at your face
In the depths of my heart, you light my way
The light you gave me keeps on protecting me
Sparks of love that I gaze at
The me that’s reflected in your eyes Don’t let that disappear…!
Loving you this much…
Don’t leave me alone anymore Don’t forget
that I’m closer to you than anyone
No matter how bad you look
Whatever you show me, it’s all lovely to me
Everything that’s reflected in your eyes
I want to experience them with you
I want to join our hearts together tightly
You’ve given me….these sparks of love
Japanese
誰も傷付けないように
自分も傷付かないように
癒えない傷抱える君は
優しさがちょっと無器用で
強がりばかりが目立ってしまうけど
その素顔知るたびに好きになってくよ
急にだまらないで 気持ち熱くなる
見つめられて 恋花火
君の瞳(め)に映る私 消えないで!
誰よりも近くに居るからね
カッコなんてつけてないで
もっと頼って欲しいのに
これくらい平気さって無理して笑ってる
君をギュッと抱き締めたいよ
愛しさに潰されそう
何があったとしても
きっと乗り越えられるよって
ずっと励まし続けたい
だから気持ち溜めないで
苦しくなる前にぶつけて欲しいよ
私だってもっと必要とされてるって
感じていたいの いつもいつまでも
こんなにね 好きだなんて…
もう独りにしないで 出会った頃
君の方が私に夢中だったね
そんな事思い出して
目の前の世界が滲んでく
私も弱いなぁって最近感じてる
向き合うのが怖くなる
心の闇に君がヒカリをくれて
そのヒカリを私が守って行くからね
見つめられて 恋花火
君の瞳(め)に映る私 消えないで…!
こんなにね 好きだなんて…
もう独りにしないで 忘れないで
誰よりも近くに居るからね
カッコなんて悪くたって
どんな姿も愛しいよ
瞳に映し出す全ての出来事を
一緒に感じて歩いていこう
心ギュッと繋いでいよう
君がくれた…恋花火

========================================
[1] Koi Hanabi. lit. Love[‘s] fireworks. “Fireworks” have a very concrete connotation in English. I thought “sparks” would be more descriptive.
