Translation of the song さよならね artist Akina Nakamori

手も握らなくて　恋だと言えるの

One could say this is a love that can't be touched

深刻なだけじゃ　じりじりするだけ

It irritates me that it's only serious

静かなあなたが　とても好きだけど

I like you a lot when you're quiet

時には　はしゃいで　甘えてみたいわ

But sometimes you take advantage and become merry

コーヒーだけ　飲みすぎて

Drinking too much coffee

うつむくムードじゃ　物足りない

In a looking down mode, I'm unsatisfied

やさしさ売りものに　するのはいいけれど

You can market your tenderness

やさしいだけならば　テレビドラマだわ

But if you're only tender, it will be a tv drama

見つめ合うだけで　恋だと言えるの

One could say this is a love were we only stare at each other

シビアな都会で　のどかすぎるわね

It's so calm in the sepia city

静かな瞳が　とても好きだけど

I like your quiet eyes a lot

じれてる私に　すこしは気付いて

But notice a little that I'm getting impatient

このままなら　さよならね

Going this way, I'll say goodbye

私の心は　染められない

My heart can't dye

やさしさは確かに　大事なものだけど

Silent tenderness is something important

今の年頃なら　見せかけだけでしょ

But nowadays it's just a pose

やさしさは確かに　大事なものだけど

Silent tenderness is something important

やさしいだけならば　きっとさよならね

But if you're only tender, goodbye
