Lyrics

Japanese

いつも寄り道する  街の本屋で一人
アーティスティックな  雑誌を立ち読む
あなたを見かけたわ
不意にドキドキして  深く帽子かぶって
ラズベリー色の  淡い便せんを
買って  店を出た

カフェテラス
言葉がさめないうちに
銀色の文字  走らせてみる
この気持ち  まさか  あなたが好き？
...なんて  すこし嘘
どうかしてるわね

いつだって  あなたは  意地悪
だってそうでしょ  知ってるんだから
この手紙だって  読まずに
忘れちゃうんでしょ  いつもそうなの
お馬鹿さん

Romaji

itsumo yorimichisuru machi no honya de hitori
ARTISTIC na zasshi wo tachi yomu
anata wo mikaketa wa
fui ni dokidoki shite fukaku boushi kabutte
RASPBERRY iro no awai binsen wo
katte mise wo deta

CAFE TERRACE
kotoba ga samenai uchi ni
giniro no moji hashirasete miru
kono kimochi masaka anata ga suki?
...nante sukoshi uso
douka shiteru wa ne

itsu datte anata wa ijiwaru
datte sou desho shitterunda kara
kono tegami datte yomazu ni
wasure chaun desho itsumo sou na no
obakasan

English

Always taking the side roads, alone in a bookstore in the city,
Reading an artistic magazine,
I saw you
And suddenly, my heart pounded deeply while I wore my hat
I bought raspberry-colored notepaper
And left the store

Cafe terrace,
Those words won't wake me up
Silver letters, I tried to run
This feeling, surely...do I like you?
...What a little lie.
It's crazy!

After all, you're always mean
I mean, don't you know I'm 
Reading this letter?
You just always forget that it's like this
You're stupid!
