Romanized Lyrics

Aishitakute aishiteru no
Sore o wakatte
Modokishii kotoba nara
Korekkiri ni shite yo ne

Aishitakute yurushita no yo
Sore o seshimete
Kozakashii iiwake ne
Baka ni shinaide yo

Tadanaranu fun'iki to
I no ichiban ni wakaru no yo
Itomo kantan ni

Akai gazania ga saite imasu
Aa hanabira ni fureta ochinai you ni
Adeyaka na machinami najimenai mama
Aa anata no katawara ni mada oite oite

Mite kure demo mite kuretara
Sugu ni wakaru kara
Sore dake de kore dake de
Mitasareru hazu na no ni

Sono kaminoke sono mabuta mo
Sono kuchibiru ni mo furetai wa
Furetai no
Ima sugu dakishimete

Kakurete iku taiyou ga
Utomashiku mieta no yo
Hitori de nee ikanaide

Akai gazania ga tojite ikimasu
Aa monogatari wo koko de owaraseru you ni
Ame no furu machi no ne machi no kaori
Aa anata no katawara wa mada aite imasu ka

Kaze ni mau chigirete iku
Taiyou ga shizunde iku
Hayaku nee mou ichido
Mou ichido

Akai gazania ga saite imasu
Aa hanabira ni fureta ochinai you ni
Adeyaka na machinami najimenai mama
Aa anata no katawara de tada hitotsu dake
Hitotsu dake saite itai wa

Saite itai wa
Aa...

English Lyrics

I love you because I choose to love you
Please, understand that
If you're just going to use such difficult words
Then let this be the very last time

I forgave you because I chose to love you
Please, just accept that
Such clever little excuses you make
Don't you treat me like a fool

This extraordinary tension in the air
I'm always the very first one to know
Oh, so easily

The red gazanias are blooming now
Ah, I touched a petal, praying it wouldn't fall
In this dazzling cityscape, I still don't belong
Ah, By your side, please, just let me stay a while longer

If you'd only look at me, just how I look
You'd understand immediately
Just that alone, just this alone
Should be enough to satisfy me, but still

Your hair, and your eyelids too
And your lips, I long to touch them
I long to touch
Hold me close, right now

The sun beginning to hide away
Seemed so irritating to me
Don't leave me, hey... Don't go alone

The red gazanias are closing now
Ah, As if bringing the story to an end right here
The sound of rain in the city, the city's scent
Ah, Beside you, is there still room for me?

Scattering, torn apart, dancing on the wind
The sun is sinking down
Quickly, hey Just once more
Just once more

The red gazanias are blooming now
Ah, I touched a petal, praying it wouldn't fall
In this dazzling cityscape, I still don't belong
Ah, By your side, just this one single flower
Just this single flower, is how I want to bloom

I want to bloom
Ah...

Japanese Lyrics

愛したくて愛してるの
其れを解って
牴牾しい言葉なら
此れっ切りにしてよね

愛したくて許したのよ
其れをせしめて
小賢しい言い訳ね
馬鹿にしないでよ

徒ならぬ雰囲気と
いの一番に解るのよ
いとも簡単に

紅いガザニアが咲いています
嗚呼 花弁に触れた 落ちない様に
艶やかな街並み 馴染めないまま
嗚呼 貴方の傍らに未だ置いておいて

見て呉れでも 見てくれたら
直ぐに解るから
其れ丈で 此れ丈で
満たされる筈なのに

其の髪の毛 其の瞼も
其の唇にも触れたいわ
触れたいの
今直ぐ抱き締めて

隠れていく太陽が
疎ましく見えたのよ
独りで ねぇ 行かないで

紅いガザニアが閉じて往きます
嗚呼 物語を此処で終わらせる様に
雨の降る街の音 街の香り
嗚呼 貴方の傍らは未だ空いていますか

風に舞う 千切れていく
太陽が沈んでいく
早く ねぇ もう一度
もう一度

紅いガザニアが咲いています
嗚呼 花弁に触れた 落ちない様に
艶やかな街並み 馴染めないまま
嗚呼 貴方の傍らで 唯一つ丈
一つ丈 咲いて居たいわ

咲いて居たいわ
嗚呼…
