Beni-Popular Japanese Singer
|I love Beni’s songs. I have been listening to her almost everyday, so wanted to share one of my favorite song here. It is called “Dakishimete”, which means “hold me” in English. She wrote this with Japanese rapper/Hip-hop artist. I really like this son. Check out my translation of this song.
ベッドの中一人で あなたを思い浮かべて
I am thinking of you alone in bed.
何故か切なくて いつもの朝を迎えてる
I don’t know why but it hurts a little, and the morning comes as usual
今日会えたとしても時間は待たずに過ぎて
Even if I could see you today, time will go by and it’s not going to wait.
また一人にさせる
Then I am alone again.

I need you so badly.
感じた事のない想いで熱くなる
I have never felt this way before.
I want your love それだけでいい
I want your love. That’s all I need.

※このまま二人きりで何もかも捨てて
leave everything behind..just you and I alone.
振り向かずにただ走っていきたい right now
I want to keep moving forward without looking back.
「大丈夫だ」って言って指を絡ませたら
if you slip your finger into mine and say “it’s going to be ok”
どこへでも行ける 抱きしめて…※
We can go anywhere
冷静に考えてcrazyな話だって
When you think calmly
そんなのわかってる
I know that it sounds crazy

もう離れらんない どうしよう おまえと全て捨てて逃避行
I can’t leave you. What am I going to do? Leave everything behind to be with you.
どうしようもないこの想い カバンに詰め込んでもっと遠い
Putting my overwhelming feeling into a bag
誰もいない場所探しに行く 握りしめた片道切符
Going to look for a place in where there is no one.
待ち合わせた23時 駅のホーム目が合った瞬間に
