Yuukei Yesterday [English Adaptation Lyrics]

Bathed in the sunlight that poured down from the sky above

I was glaring at people who passed

I cut through early and late as I stood there to wait

Until you finally got here at last

I frown as if I were angry at everyone now

As I avoid the eyes that meet mine

“Good morning!” is what he said as he stands ahead

And I pass right by him and leave him far behind

If I thought about it, our eyes met just a bit

But nothing comes to my mind in response

But still I don’t understand why I can’t see his face

Without my heart beginning to race…

The sun I found shining above was brighter as I turned to face it

And the throbbing in my chest was something, but I couldn’t place it

And this feeling in my heart was gross but somehow that was still fine

What is it? This strange feeling that is mine?

If I am caught here by surprise, my face reveals my inner feelings

And by some odd mystery my voice sounds rather unappealing

I still don’t quite get this situation that I’m stuck in anew

‘Cause of that, I feel like a fool to you

Today our long yawns still go on as class still proceeds

Just the two of us sit in this room

I still am worried a bit about how this may look

As the radio plays some random tune

The me who stood up and sighed then was still unprepared

It was obvious what I had missed

The headphones I wore to fake my own deaf-state

Were never plugged in to anything at all

“If time can pass by, you’d still forget it, right?”

That’s the way that these things work, or at least I hope

But still I wonder why I still feel I should lie

I’m so angry my words within make me choke

Though you said “Convey everything through attitudes you want to display”

What I feel still makes me flustered and I have to lash out some way

And this feeling that continues is a problem even now

And it seems that I’m too weak-kneed somehow

“It seems like you are in a good mood” is what he says in his message

“No, I’m angry!” is what I say when I pinch his cheeks in outrage

It’s that thoughtful disposition that makes me retaliate then

And that’s how this “today” will end again

One more time I will face the sun and look upon his fragile brightness

Saying “Wait here for a bit” as I breathe in before this harsh test

Though my head is throbbing here, I feel like I’ve accomplished something

But it’s still not enough to fix this mess

I want to tell him how I feel as I run heedless of my footing

I don’t understand this feeling but my legs will keep me moving

And before the sun will set over another pointless “today”

Somehow I want to find the words to say

Really I want to tell him anyway
