Black Coffee no Yoru (ブラックコーヒーの夜)

[nebulancer]

English translation:

 

On a night when the slightly chilled wind caressed the newly-budding cherry tree

With mean-spirited eyes, you smiled

You already realize, don’t you?

 

“The moon tonight looks like a black cat’s eyes”

Though I try to fool you, I can’t hide it completely

You’ll hear my pulse

 

Hey, if I’ve offered you everything that I hold dear

Hey, would I someday become your number one?

 

No matter how sweet the time is, it can feel just so painful

But if I’m with you, I can go just about anywhere

Before this night for just the two of us dawns,

It’s fine for me to quietly link together

My right hand with your left, isn’t it?

 

Your white, graceful fingers counting the number of stars

I remember the distance between us upon seeing your shining ring

 

“Let’s stay friends forever.”

 

Hey, the lights in the city become blurred little by little

Hey, I already know... but even so, I love you

 

Drowning within the coffee is a love that resembles a sugar cube

But I’ve made no mistake, nor will I regret it

Before this night for just the two of us dawns,

Let me taste more of that sweetness and bitterness

 

This night for just the two of us...

Let me melt my heart and my body

In that heat of yours, secretly

Kanji:

 

少し冷たい風が　葉桜を撫でた夜

意地悪な目で　微笑むあなた

もう気づいているんでしょ？

 

「今夜の月はまるで　黒猫の瞳だわ」

ごまかしてもね　隠しきれない

鼓動が聞こえちゃうわ

 

ねぇ大事な全部

あなたに捧げたなら

ねぇ私もいつか

一番になれるかな？

 

どんなに甘い時間も　こんなに苦く感じて

だけど私あなたとなら　何処までも行けるわ

二人きりのこの夜が明けてしまうその前に

この右手と　その左手

こっそり繋いでもいいでしょ？

 

星の数を数える　白くしなやかな指

光るリングに　思い出す距離

 

「ずっと友達でいようね」

 

ねぇ街の光が

少しずつ滲んでく

ねぇ分かっているわ

それでもあなたが好き

 

コーヒーの中溺れる　角砂糖のような恋

だけど私間違ってない　後悔もしないわ

二人きりのこの夜が　明けてしまうその前に

その甘さも その苦さも　もっと感じさせて

 

二人きりのこの夜に...

この心も　この身体も

その熱で溶かして　そっと
