Translation of the song たとえどんなに artist Kana Nishino
たとえどんなに
No matter how much (I try)
今日は少し嫌な事があった
I had a bad day today
誰に話してもなんか切なくて
Whomever I talk to, I still feel down
ねぇ もしも君だったら
Hey, if it were you,
優しく聞いてくれたかな
I wonder if you'd listen kindly
いつもの帰り道なのに
Even though I'm on my way home,
どうしてこんなに遠く感じるの?
Why does it always feel so far?
ねぇ もしも君がいたら
Hey, if you were there,
一瞬で着いてしまったかな
I wonder if I'd have arrived in only a moment
どんなケンカでも“ゴメン”て言えたら
If I could say sorry after any quarrel,
今でも笑っていてくれたのかな?
I wonder if you'd still be smiling
君の優しさに甘えすぎてたの
I got too spoiled by your kindness
もしあの時素直になれたら…
If only I could have been honest then...
たとえ どんなにどんなに強く
No matter, no matter how hard I try,
願ったってもう戻れないけど
as much as I try, I can't go back
遠い君を 見えない君を
You're far away, you're invisible
想い続けて
But I still think of you
君からもらった幸せはずっと
The happiness you gave me
心の中で輝くの
Will always shine in my heart
忘れないよ
I won't forget
いつかこの声が
Believing that someday this voice
きっと届くと信じて
Will reach you
君が教えてくれた歌を
Sometimes I still suddenly feel like listening
今でも不意に聴きたくなるの
To the songs you taught me
君を少しでも近くに
I feel as though they bring you
感じていられる気がして
Just a bit closer
どんな不安でも我慢していたら
However unsure I was, if I'd stuck it out
今でも側にいてくれたのかな?
Would you still be by my side?
あんなワガママ言わなきゃ良かった
I wish I hadn't said those selfish things,
もしあの日の言葉を消せたら…
If I could erase what I said that day...
たとえ どんなにどんなに強く
No matter, no matter how hard I try,
願ったってもう戻れないけど
as much as I try, I can't go back
遠い君を 見えない君を
You're far away, you're invisible
想い続けて
But I still think of you
君からもらった幸せはずっと
The happiness you gave me
心の中で輝くの
Will always shine in my heart
忘れないよ
I won't forget
いつかこの声が
Believing that someday this voice
きっと届くと信じて
Will reach you
どうして自分に正直な恋じゃダメなの?
Why can't I love and be true to myself?
なぜ心は 想えば想うほど離れてくの?
Why does my heart grow farther away the more I think about it?
たとえ どんなにどんなに強く
No matter, no matter how hard I try,
願ったってもう戻れないけど
as much as I try, I can't go back
遠い君を 見えない君を
You're far away, you're invisible
想い続けて
But I still think of you
君からもらった幸せはずっと
The happiness you gave me
心の中で輝くの
Will always shine in my heart
忘れないよ
I won't forget
いつかこの声が
Believing that someday this voice
きっと届くと信じて
Will reach you
