WANUKA - Booby Prize Lyrics (Romanized)

Romanized Lyrics

Kogoeta ashi de samusa o kanaderu
Anata ni aeru nara kotatsu o nuketemo ii
Chou ga sabishisou ni sugata o kuramasu
Anata wa imagoro nani o hanashiteirun darou

Etto, un, maa, sou da tatoeba
Yuki ga furu sora ni "kirei" to ka
Tsun to hana sasu ondo ni fureta
Tou tan fui ni deru

Kitto anata ga itta "samui na" tte kotoba
Kono fuyu wa senjin o kiru darou
Anata ga haita kotoba o jun ni zenbu tadottatte
Boku no namae wa nai to omou
Atte mo saigo darou

Sotto haita iki ga kodoku o tsutaeru
Shirosa de nigosu kara yokei ni mieru darou

Etto, un, maa, sou da tatoeba
Rikutsu nashi de anata ni furete
Gyutto dakishime nante uso da yo
Wasurenaide ite

Kitto anata kara wa boku ga toumei ni utsutte
Hikari o atete mo toorisugiru
Anata ga haita kotoba shiyou rireki no naka
Sagashitemo mitsukaranai no ga
Nani yori no shouko darou

Nuguenai sabishisa o dareka de umetai to ka
Gouman datte koto wakatteru
Dakara boku wa tada
Anata no me ni utsutteitai dake

Kitto anata o mite tossa ni hanatta kotoba
Nani yori "kirei" ga mazu saki darou
Kitto anata ni chanto agerareru mono wa
Soba ni itemo "kodoku" dake darou
Demo kitto sono "kodoku" wa anata no donna "kodoku" mo
Tsutsunde atatamete yuki tokeru
To iu no mo totte oki no omoi ga tsumatta mono de
Dareka ga ataeru mono to wa
Kotonaru "kodoku" dakara

English Lyrics

My frozen feet play a song of cold
I'd leave the kotatsu even if it meant being cold
A butterfly disappears sadly
What are you talking about now?

Um, yeah, well, let's say
Something like "beautiful" to the sky with falling snow
It comes out unexpectedly
When I touch the temperature that stings my nose

I'm sure the words you said "I'm cold"
Will lead the way for this winter
Even if I trace all the words you've said in order
I don't think my name is there
Even if it is, it would be at the end

The breath I exhale quietly conveys my loneliness
It will look even more obvious because it is blurred by the whiteness

Um, yeah, well, let's say
I touch you without reason
And hug you tightly, what a lie
Don't forget it

I'm sure I appear transparent to you
Even if I shine light on you, I pass through
The fact that I can't find it
In the history of your words
Is the best evidence

I know it's arrogant to want someone to fill my
Unerasable loneliness
So I just want
To be reflected in your eyes

I'm sure the words I say spontaneously when I see you
"Beautiful" will come first
I'm sure the only thing I can really give you
Even if I'm by your side is "loneliness"
But I'm sure that "loneliness"
Will wrap up and warm any of your "loneliness"
And melt the snow
Because it's filled with special feelings
And it's different from the "loneliness" that someone else gives you

Japanese Lyrics

凍えた足で寒さを奏でる
あなたに会えるなら炬燵を抜けてもいい
蝶が寂しそうに姿をくらます
あなたは今頃 何を話しているんだろう

えっと うん まあ そうだ例えば
雪が降る空に「綺麗」とか
ツンと鼻刺す 温度に触れた
途端不意に出る

きっとあなたが言った「寒いな」って言葉
この冬は先陣を切るだろう
あなたが吐いた言葉を順に全部辿ったって
僕の名前は無いと思う
あっても最後だろう

そっと吐いた息が孤独を伝える
白さで濁すから余計に見えるだろう

えっと うん まあ そうだ例えば
理屈なしであなたに触れて
ぎゅっと抱きしめ なんて嘘だよ
忘れないでいて

きっとあなたからは僕が透明に映って
光を当てても通り過ぎる
あなたが吐いた言葉 使用履歴の中
探しても見つからないのが
何よりの証拠だろう

拭えない寂しさを誰かで埋めたいとか
傲慢だってこと分かってる
だから僕はただ
あなたの目に映っていたいだけ

きっとあなたを見て咄嗟に放った言葉
何より「綺麗」がまず先だろう
きっとあなたにちゃんとあげられるものは
そばにいても「孤独」だけだろう
でもきっとその「孤独」はあなたのどんな「孤独」も
包んで暖めて雪解ける
というのもとっておきの想いが詰まったもので
誰かが与えるものとは
異なる「孤独」だから
