ネーブルオレンジ (Navel Orange) (English Translation) Lyrics by 乃木坂46
Outside The Window, The Sky Is Completely Clear,
And My Feelings Fast-forward Ahead
If I See You, What Will I Even Say?
Like The Season Lined Up At The Supermarket…
Wrapping The Navel Orange In Both Hands,
I Suddenly Realize The Sweetness Of Love
You Once Said It Was Your Favorite,
But Where Has Our Citrus-colored Youth Disappeared To?
Bringing The Navel Orange Close To My Cheek,
I Feel The Urge To Kiss Its Freshness
Tossing It Up Like A Ball,
I Remind Myself To Accept The Reality Of Now
And As I Step Through The Ticket Gate Of A Station I’ve Never Been To,
What Kind Of Story Will Unfold Before Me?
Why Am I Gripping This Navel Orange So Tightly?
Why Did I Come To This Unfamiliar Town?
Drawn By Its Scent,
If You Somehow Notice Me,
Let’s Talk About Those Days Once Again
Beneath This Slightly Thick Peel,
Lies The You That I Once Cherished, Ah…
Wrapping The Navel Orange In Both Hands,
I Suddenly Realize The Sweetness Of Love
You Once Said It Was Your Favorite,
But Where Has Our Citrus-colored Youth Disappeared To?
What A Sentimental Memory…
Of Course, There’s No Way I’ll Actually See You…
Ah, But That’s Okay.
