Translation by: Alice from Windy Season

12月の夏 見知らぬアパート
ju-ni gatsu no natsu mishiranu apa-to
In a summer in December, in an unfamiliar apartment

素足のヒールを そっとはずした
suashi no hi-ru wo sotto hazushita
I gently took off my heels, leaving me barefoot

アイツを愛して あまりに近くて
aitsu wo aishite amari ni chikakute
I loved him, and I was quite close to him

嫌いになるのは 簡単だった
kirai ni naru no wa kantan datta
So it was easy for me to come to hate him

疲れた肌 南に挑発された恋
tsukareta hada minami ni chouhatsu sareta koi
My fatigued skin doesn't hear the name of

名前は聞かない 女でいたい
namae wa kikanai onna de itai
A love that was aroused from the south... I want to stay as a girl

Keep on love tonight, I'll never fallin' love

泣き顔に 愛探さないで
nakigao ni ai sagasanaide
Don't find my love in my tearful face

も一度 アイツのもとへ
moichido aitsu no moto e
All I want is to find the courage

帰れる勇気が 欲しいだけ
kaereru yuuki ga hoshii dake
To return to him once more

二人の出逢った あの頃の様に
futari no deatta ano koro no you ni
like the time that the two of us met

不安の海を 泳いでいたい
fuan no umi wo oyoideitai
I want to swim in the sea of uncertainty

身体を重ねても くちづけをしない
karada wo kasanetemo kuchiduke wo shinai
Even when I lay with you, you won't kiss me

慣れすぎた夜に 何を飾ろう
naresugita yoru ni nani wo kazarou
What should I display though I've gotten too used to these nights?

優しさは 時に人を 嘘つきにする
yasashisa wa toki ni hito wo usotsuki ni suru
Kindness can sometimes turn people into liars

ためらいもなく 女でいたい
tamerai mo naku onna de itai
Without hesitation, I want to stay as a girl

Keep on love tonight, I'll never fallin' love

抱かれて委ねる 冬の心
dakarete yudaneru fuyu no kokoro
I am embraced and abandon the heart I had in the winter

愛しいアイツが よぎれば
itoshii aitsu ga yogireba
If I ever cross paths with him, who is dear to me

瞼に涙の意味を知る
mabuta ni namida no imi wo shiru
I will know the meaning of these tears on my eyelids

Wow oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Wow oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Keep on love tonight, I'll never fallin' love

泣き顔に 愛探さないで
nakigao ni ai sagasanaide
Don't find my love in my tearful face

も一度 アイツのもとへ
moichido aitsu no moto e
All I want is to find the courage

帰れる勇気が 欲しいだけ
kaereru yuuki ga hoshii dake
To return to him once more

Keep on love tonight, I'll never fallin' love

抱かれて委ねる 冬の心
dakarete yudaneru fuyu no kokoro
I am embraced and abandon the heart I had in the winter

愛しいアイツが よぎれば
itoshii aitsu ga yogireba
If I ever cross paths with him, who is dear to me

瞼に涙の意味を知る
mabuta ni namida no imi wo shiru
I will know the meaning of these tears on my eyelids

Wow oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Wow oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
