CAPTURING MY HEART

 

sazameku mune o osaete
yokogao o sotto to   nusumi miru
poochi no kage kara
anata no tachi furumai mite iru no
Repressing my burning heart
I steal a glance at your turned face
Under the shadow of the porch,
I watch you move gracefully through the air
  kizuite hoshii   koe mo kaketai
watashi wa ai no torawarebi to yo
otome no you ni   kiyoi kokoro de
koi suru jibun ga   ima wa tsurai
  Please look at me, say a word to me
for I have fallen deeply in love with you
Like a virgin with pure heart
I'm now suffering in love
kogarete shinobu tsukihi wa
yarusenaku tada   nikurashii
kamikazari no hana
ikutsu mo tsukekaete wa tame iki o
The long nights of yearning
have only made me more miserable   oh how dreadful
The flowers crowning your hair
grow more fragrant with each passing day
  aitai dake no   kimochi ga tsunoru
karada ga futatsu aru to ii no ni
nani mo ka mo kara   nogaretaku nara
tsuranuku omoi ni   madou bakari
  I dream of seeing you more and more
Yet, when we are together,
I can't help feeling confused and wanting to run away.
  kizuite hoshii   koe mo kaketai
watashi wa ai no torawarebi to yo
otome no you ni   kiyoi kokoro de
koi suru jibun ni   madou bakari
  Please look at me, say a word to me
for I have fallen deeply in love with you
Like a virgin with pure heart
I'm only bewildered by love
