--Translation: The right city

I know that city and that you
From which I flew away that day were right for me

Looking down with an uneasy smile
After a long silence
I behaved more and more badly
You beat your head
Against the cold asphalt
And blamed me for the failure

You lost your temper
And I didn't even care

I wonder what are the feelings of those lips
That told me "goodbye" one year ago
And are now kissing me

A short lie
Became a big one
But I hid my real intentions
I prefer a short distance
To unsufficient words
I thought you would understand me

I taught you how to cry
And I didn't even care

If they say that
There are so many pretty girls around
Why right now
There's no one next to you?

I ended up dreaming of escaping
And pushing aside that arrogant love
But in the big city, even the smell of Winter isn't right
There aren't Momochihama nor you nor Muromigawa (places in Fukuoka)
I understand all the things you haven't told me
Such as that I am an egoist
So I didn't even tell you to come and take me
At the airport in the morning
All the advices they gave me
Have turned into reality, as if to punish me

I know that city and that you
From which I flew away that day were right for me
