Translation of the song 僕はここにいる artist Masayoshi Yamazaki

Japanese

僕はここにいる

English translation

I am here

ため息だけがしじまに消えていった帰り道

Only my sighs faded into the silence on the way home.

遠い空ゆれている街並

The sky in the distance, the cityscape floating in the air.

すべてに君のやさしいほほえみが離れない

In all of them, I see your gentle smile and it won't leave me.

手をのばしても届かない場所にいる

I reach out to you, but you're just out of my reach.

もっと君のこと知りたいよ

I wanna know more and more about you.

悲しみもささやきも全部見てみたい

I wanna see all of you, even your sadness, your whispers.

苦しいよ今度はいつ逢える

I'm in a lot of pain. When can I see you again?

遅すぎた出会い胸にかみしめている痛いほど

We met too late in our life, and I feel it so strongly in my heart, so painfully.

気付いたら夜は終りはじめてる

Then I realized that the end of the night has begun.

うまく君の名を呼べないよ

It's not easy for me to call your name.

せつなくてむなしくてつぶされそうさ

I feel so sad, feel incomplete, and feel like I'm being crushed.

わかるかい僕はここにいる

Do you feel that? I'm here, and I'm thinking of you.

むくわれない束の間の夢ならば

If it's a fleeting dream that will never come true,

せめて偶然の時だけでも

I wanna meet you, even if it's just by chance.

はかないうたかたの恋ならば

If it's a fleeting love that will disappear like a bubble,

せめて今きみの声だけでも

I wanna hear your voice at least for now.

救われない痛みだけの気持ちでいい

I don't care if there's no relief, just pain at all.

傷ついてもそれでかまわない

Even if this love hurts me, it's totally fine.

できるなら今すぐ抱きしめたい

If I could, I'd hold you so tight right now.

ふたりだけの約束を交わしたい

I wanna make a promise just for the two of us.
