Ayumi Hamasaki - Dearest W/ English Translation Lyrics

hontou ni taisetsu na mono igai subete sutete
shimaetara ii no ni ne
genjitsu wa tada zankoku de
It would be nice if we could put away and throw out
everything except what really mattered, but
reality is just cruel.

sonna toki itsu datte
me o tojireba
waratteru kimi ga iru
In such times,
I see you laughing
whenever I close my eyes.

itsuka eien no nemuri ni tsuku hi made
dou ka sono egao ga
taema naku aru you ni
Until the day I reach eternal sleep,
that smiling face will
have to stay with me without fail.

hito wa minna kanashii kara
wasurete yuku ikimono dakedo
People are all sad, so
they go and forget, but--

aisubeki mono no tame
ai o kureru mono no tame dekiru koto
For that which I should love,
For that which gives me love, I will do what I can.

deatta ano koro wa
subete ga bukiyou de
toomawari shita yo ne
kizutsuke atta yo ne
Back then, when we met,
it was all awkward.
We went the long way, didn't we?
We got hurt, didn't we?

itsuka eien no nemuri ni tsuku hi made
dou ka sono egao ga
taema naku aru you ni
Until the day I reach eternal sleep,
that smiling face will
have to stay with me without fail.

deatta ano koro wa
subete ga bukiyou de
toomawari shita yo ne
tadoritsuitan da ne
Back then, when we met,
it was all awkward.
We went the long way, didn't we?
We got there in the end.
