YUI - Tokyo

Romaji

Sumi nareta kono heya wo
Dete yuku hi ga kita
Atarashii tabidachi ni mada tomadotteru

Eki made mukau BASU no naka
Tomodachi ni MEERU shita

Asa no HOOMU de denwa mo shitemita
Demo nanka chigau ki ga shita

Furui GITAA wo hitotsu motte kita
Shashin wa zenbu oitekita

Nanika wo tebanashite soshite te ni ireru
Sonna kurikaeshi ka na?

Tsuyogari wa itsudatte yume ni tsuduiteru
Okubyou ni nattara soko de togireru yo

Hashiri dashita densha no naka
Sukoshi dake naketekita

Mado no soto ni tsuduiteru kono machi wa
Kawara nai de to negatta

Furui GITAA wo atashi ni kureta hito
Toukyou wa kowaitte itte ta

Kotae wo sagasu no wa mou yameta
Machigai darakede ii

Akai yuuyake ga BIRU ni togireta
Namida wo koraetemo

Tsugi no asa ga yattekuru tabigoto ni
Mayou koto datte aru yo ne?

Tadashii koto bakari erabe nai
Sore kurai wakatteru

English Translations

Today I have to leave this old room of mine.
I'm still unsure about this new journey.

On the bus ride to the train station,
I text-messaged my friends.

At the station I tried calling someone,
But something felt different about it all.
All I brought with me was an old guitar,
Leaving the rest of my old life behind.

I take something and I get something,
I ponder that cycle in my heart.

I always try to hide my fears in my dreams.
When get afraid, I can't seem to do anything.

I got on the train, it rushed away,
And I slowly started to cry.

Life in my town continued on outside.
I prayed that it'd never change.
The man who gave me my old guitar
Told me Tokyo is a scary place.

I've stopped looking for all the answers.
It's okay to have some flaws.

Those grey skyscrapers blocked the setting sun.
Even if I endure these tears today,
Won't tomorrow's cold morning hold more doubt?

I can't choose the right thing,
At least I know that much.



This is a much loved work of YUI-san. The melody is so soothing yet sad at the same time. I AM a big fan of sad songs particularly by YUI. But this song is special because it really show how I felt when I have to leave my hometown to study.
