As Time Goes By Lyrics English Translation by BOYNEXTDOOR
You know, right?
I’m about to say something that’s not okay.
It might even make you cry.
We’re breaking up, somehow you sensed it, those painful words.
(Every day and night)
From your pouting expression
To your quiet lips,
I was determined to make you laugh just once,
Memorizing my lines so sweetly,
I’d stay up all night as if there was no tomorrow.
Um, you know, I,
Um, you know, I,
I turn back and ask myself again and again,
Even when I ask myself over and over,
Not seeing you for a long time
Doesn’t make me sad,
And it doesn’t hurt me.
Um, you know, I,
Um, you know, I,
That first love never works out,
That saying I wanted to avoid,
I can’t even get past it,
And already, I
Don’t love you.
What’s the point of saying this now?
But I memorized the license plate of the taxi on your way home.
Even if you say you hate me, I won’t stop you,
But it’s true that I loved you.
Kisses don’t make my heart flutter anymore,
And we just keep tearing each other down with harsh words.
I’m too tired to keep this up,
Let’s just stop.
(As time goes by)
Problems that used to be solved
With just two glances,
One day added, another day passed,
Going beyond two weeks,
And then eventually, I ended up making you cry.
Um, you know, I,
Um, you know, I,
I turn back and ask myself again and again,
Even when I ask myself over and over,
Not seeing you for a long time
Doesn’t make me sad,
And it doesn’t hurt me.
Um, you know, I,
Um, you know, I,
That first love never works out,
That saying I wanted to avoid,
I can’t even get past it,
And already, I
Don’t love you.
