Jpop Recommend #274 Kono yoru wo tometeyo by Juju

この夜を止めてよ Kono yoru wo tometeyo

Juju


Released in November 2010, this song is her 15th single.  Her husky voice matches well with this song and lyrics.  


Most of her songs are jazzy and matured ballads, but if you listen to her summer tune, "PLAYBACK", you'll know her different charm.

「愛してる」って いう あなた の    言葉   は 
"Aishiteru" tte     iu   anata no kotoba wa
Your words saying, "I love you" makes
「さよなら」より も    哀しい 
"Sayonara" yori mo kanashii
me sadder than the words, "Sayonara".
これ   以上   何    も 言わなくて いい 
kore ijyou nani mo iwanakute   ii
So you don't need to say anything anymore
だから   この    夜   を 止めて   よ
dakara kono yoru wo tomete yo
Just stop this night for a moment


呼吸(いき)する みたい に ふたり は 出会った ね 
iki            suru mitai ni futari wa deatta   ne
The two of us met so naturally as if we breathe
疑い    も   せず  に 傷つけ       傷つき 
utagai mo sezu ni kizutsuke kizutsuki
Without doubt, we've been hurting each other
痛み    こそ 愛 だと 信じて  きた  日々
itami koso ai dato shinjite kita hibi
those were the days that we believed this hurt was love

声   を   ひそめ   ながら ふたり  だけ の   秘密    を 
koe wo hisome nagara futari dake no himitsu wo 
In silence the secret just for the two of us
ひとつ  ずつ    増やす たび つくり   笑い
hitotsu zutsu fuyasu tabi tsukuri-warai
were added one by one as we force ourselves to smile
心        で 泣いてる
kokoro de naiteru
but in heart we both cried


おなじ 色 の   夢     みて いたい のに 
onaji iro no yume mite itai     noni 
Wishing to keep pursuing the dream of same color, 
ちがう    道    に  離れてく 
chigau michi ni hanareteku
and yet we are parting on a separate road
出会い の とき  を   選べない の  なら 
deai    no toki wo erabenai no nara
If we can't pick the time to meet
せめて   この   夜    を  止めて  よ
semete kono yoru wo tomete yo
at least stop this night 


大きな  背中      を   見つめて   いられ たら  それ  で よかった のに 
ookina senaka wo mitsumete irare tara  sore  de yokatta noni
I was just happy to look at your broad shoulder
どんな に  激しく      あなた  を  愛しても  答え   は   みえない
donna ni hageshiku anata wo aishitemo kotae wa mienai
but how hard I love you, I couldn't find the answer

終わり に したい の なら 5 秒      だけ ください 
owari ni shitai no nara 5-byou dake kudasai
If you want to end it, just give me five seconds
目   を  閉じて 深   呼吸 
me wo tojite shin-kokyuu 
I'll close my eyes and take a deep breath
その   間   に  忘れて    あげる  わ
sono aida ni wasurete ageru wa
In those seconds, I will forget you

「愛してる」って いう あなた の    言葉   は 
"Aishiteru" tte     iu   anata no kotoba wa
Your words saying, "I love you" makes
「さよなら」より も    哀しい 
"Sayonara" yori mo kanashii
me sadder than the words, "Sayonara".
これ   以上   何    も 言わなくて いい 
kore ijyou nani mo iwanakute   ii
So you don't need to say anything anymore
だから   この    夜   を 止めて   よ
dakara kono yoru wo tomete yo
Just stop this night for a moment


あまい 過去   の 記憶 なんて わたし   は   惜しく ない 
amai  kioku no kiji nante  watashi wa oshiku nai
I won't miss the memory of the sweet past
かたち  の  ある  未来 なんか しがみ     つきたく  は  ない
katachi no aru mirai nanka shigami-tsukitaku wa nai
I don't want to cling onto the future with clear shape

おなじ 色 の    夢    みてた   つもり   で  
onaji  iro no yume miteta tsumori de 
I thought we dreamed the same color 
ちがう    道    を  歩いてた
chigau michi wo aruiteta
but in realty we were walking on the different path
別れ    の  とき  も   選べない  の  なら せめて   この   夜   を…
wakari no toki mo erabenai no nara semete kono yoru wo
If I can't pick the time to say good-bye, at least for this night...


「愛してる」って いう あなた の    言葉   は 
"Aishiteru" tte     iu   anata no kotoba wa
Your words saying, "I love you" makes
「さよなら」より も    哀しい

me sadder than the words, "Sayonara".
これ   以上   何    も 言わなくて いい 
kore ijyou nani mo iwanakute   ii
So you don't need to say anything anymore
だから   この    夜   を 止めて   よ
dakara kono yoru wo tomete yo
Just stop this night for a moment


ねえ お願い  この   夜    を  止めて   よ 
Nee onegai kono yoru wo tomete yo
Hey please, just stop this night
