kanji & kana

    学生時代 よく集まった
    カフェテラスを覚えてるかい?
    飼い主のない太った猫に
    “ダイエット” って名前をつけたね

    時間はそういっぱい
    あると思ってた
    今すぐ何かしなくても
    間に合う気がしてた

    あれから アールグレイを
    一度も飲んでないよ
    香りが大好きだったのに
    忘れていたのはなぜだろう?
    大人の真似をしながら
    わかったつもりだった
    あの頃 青春だったと
    通り過ぎてから気づいたよ

    店を閉めたって噂に聞いて
    あの場所まで行ってみたけど
    代わりに建った低層マンション
    猫も犬もお断りだって…

    夢とか将来とか
    語り合ったり
    何度か恋のようなもの
    悩んでみたりした

    あれから アールグレイを
    一度も飲んでないよ
    ミルクとシュガーを入れるから
    他の紅茶でもよかったんだ

    あれから アールグレイを
    一度も飲んでないよ
    香りが大好きだったのに
    忘れていたのはなぜだろう?
    大人の真似をしながら
    わかったつもりだった
    あの頃 青春だったと
    通り過ぎてから気づいたよ

    ラララ…

english translation

    When we were students, we met up often
    Do you still remember that cafe terrace?
    We used to call that fat stray cat
    by the name of “Diet”

    I used to childishly think
    that there’s a lot of time left
    Every if we don’t work on something now,
    it’ll be finished later

    From now on, I’ve never
    drank Earl Grey again
    I used to love the sweet scent of it,
    but how come I can’t remember it now?
    I used to imitate adults
    and pretend I knew everything
    I was still in youth back then,
    but I suddenly became aware of it long later

    After hearing about that store closing up,
    I went back to visit it often
    But it got renovated to a low-rise mansion
    that doesn’t allow cats or dogs

    There’s still the future to our dreams
    We’ve talked about it before
    and even frustrated ourselves out
    about this so-called love

    From now on, I’ve never
    drank Earl Grey again
    Adding some milk and sugar,
    black tea isn’t that back after all

    From now on, I’ve never
    drank Earl Grey again
    I used to love the sweet scent of it,
    but how come I can’t remember it now?
    I used to imitate adults
    and pretend I knew everything
    I was still in youth back then,
    but I suddenly became aware of it long later

    Lalala...
