Translation of the song つぐない artist Teresa Teng

窓に西陽があたる部屋は

In the room that faces the setting sun

いつもあなたの　匂いがするわ

I can always smell your scent

ひとり暮らせば　想いだすから

Since if I lived alone I would think

壁の傷も　残したまま　おいてゆくわ

About the crack in the wall that still remains

愛をつぐなえば　別れになるけど

If we atone for our love we will become separate

こんな女でも　忘れないでね

Don't forget me, will you not?

優しすぎたのあなた

You who were too kind

子供みたいなあなた

You who look like a child

あすは他人同士になるけれど

Tomorrow we will become mutual strangers

心残りは　あなたのこと

My regret is you

少し煙草も　ひかえめにして

A reserved smoker

過去に縛られ　暮らすことより

More than the past that binds us

わたしよりも可愛い人　探すことよ

I'm looking for someone who is charming than me

愛をつぐなえば　重荷になるから

Since if we atone for our love it will become a heavy burden

この町を離れ　暮らしてみるわ

I'll try to get along with leaving this city

お酒のむのもひとり

I'll drink one more sake

夢を見るのもひとり

I'll see one more dream

あすは他人同士になるけれど

Tomorrow we will become mutual strangers

愛をつぐなえば　別れになるけど

If we atone for our love we will become separate

こんな女でも　忘れないでね

Don't forget me, will you not?

優しすぎたのあなた

You who were too kind

子供みたいなあなた

You who look like a child

あすは他人同士になるけれど

Tomorrow we will become mutual strangers
