Lyrics Courtesy of: hiphopVOMIT
You are a mistake; I can’t think of a room more lovely than this one
It’s your fault that even the fun day in which we were able to smile in the down pouring rain is being erased
Cry, cry, burst in tears; Will it end here? The couple’s dream
At least, at least, don’t blame me; Is it ending with a dream? The couple’s bouquet
Even at a DISTANCE where we can’t return, I still believe
The couple’s exchanged destiny
The era is now ending, but it’s irrelevant to me
You are detestable「1989」
Cry, cry, burst into tears; If it’s this chest, then I’ll lend it (to you) any time
At least, at least, let me hit you; It’s your fault that the bouquet is broken…
You’re sly, really sly
In my unknown place, with that man…
You are detestable, you are bad
After all, I am not winning with your love
I was embracing you, who was embraced by the stars; Where did that night go?
I’m still continuing to extend this hand
Cry, cry, burst into tears; Is it ending here? The couple’s bouquet
Cry, cry, burst into tears; If it’s this chest, then I’ll lend it (to you) any time
At least, at least, let me hit you; It’s your fault that this bouquet is broken
Vanish, vanish, disappear; It’s your fault that this bouquet is broken
Vanish, vanish, disappear…
You are still young; I will always be in this room
It would be good if you would show me your crying face
*Words in italics are the original lyrics contained within the song.
** Throughout the song, Yui switched back and forth between calling the girl kimi (an affectionate way to say “you”) and omae (a rather rude and often offensive way to say “you”). We don’t have the different ways of saying it in English, so I just wanted to point it out, since it seems to convey his mixed feelings for the person he’s singing about.
***I am very sorry to say that it’s come to my attention that CindyKate will be disbanding in July. I want to wish all of the current members the best in any and all of their future endeavors.
