Translation<\/h2>\n
\n\n

\tWhy is our love so mismatched
\n\tThat we can only gaze past each other? [1]<\/p>\n

\tHaving compared those distant,
\n\tforgotten memories
\n\twith the lighthearted attitude I’ve been developing
\n\tI am still always by myself, lonely<\/p>\n

\tI want to ask but I cannot
\n\tAbout those two rings on your right hand
\n\tI wonder if I would find out
\n\tBy being a little more suave [2]<\/p>\n

\tWhy is our love so misaligned
\n\tThat we can only gaze past each other, [1]     and even so
\n\tWe can’t bridge the gap
\n\tOf this incomplete separation [3]<\/p>\n

\tOn that Saturday night, too lively to my ears,
\n\tIn the midst of lighthearted small talk,
\n\tThat one word you murmured with a serious face
\n\tWas so unsettling to me after all<\/p>\n

\tReaching for the phone, as if to call you [4]
\n\tI know I’m only watching time pass
\n\tI want to talk to you, not let go
\n\tThough I know you won\u2019t come back tonight
\n\tPlease, hug me tightly<\/p>\n

\tWhy is it so vexing, [5]
\n\tthis love that’s past?     Though I\u2019ve said good bye
\n\tI just don’t want to get over it
\n\tThis deep, unstable feeling<\/p>\n

\tWhy is our love so crossed
\n\tThat we can only gaze past each other? [1]<\/p>\n\n<\/div>

==========
\n[1] Mitsumeru hodo ikichigau no futari no koi. Ikichigau = to cross, [for two people] to go past [each other], to misunderstand. “To the point of staring\/gazing, our mismatched\/crossed love”
\n[2] Amaete mite ii ka na “I wonder if it\u2019s okay to try being indulgent\/reliant upon (in a self-indulgent way)”.
\nKi no kiita guzen “A tasteful\/clever\/well-timed coincidence\/surprise”.
\nI interpret this verse to be about the speaker wondering if she will obtain the answer to her question (why does he wear two [engagement] rings on his right hand?) by playing a little coy, with a bit of cleverness and good timing that seems casual.
\n[3] Mikansei na futari no kyori “The incomplete distance between the two of us” or “The distance between two incomplete people” (I chose the former interpretation).
\nMada koerarenai: “we can\u2019t cross it yet.”
\nMy read: two people can\u2019t cross the distance that is between them; a distance that is growing, but is not yet a finalized separation.
\n[4] Kakeru furi shita denwa: “Reaching for the phone as if going to make a call”
\n[5] akireru hodo: “To the point of being disgusted”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
