FLAVOR OF LIFE

ROMANIZATION

* arigatou to kimi ni iwareru to nandaka setsunai
sayounara no ato mo tokenu mahou awaku horonigai
the flavor of life, the flavor of life

tomodachi de mo koibito de mo nai chuukan chiten de
shuukaku no hi wo yume miteru aoi furuutsu
ato ippo ga fumidasenai sei de
jirettai no nan no tte baby

(Repeat*)

amai dake no sasoi monku ajike no nai doku
sonna mono ni wa kyoumi mo sosorarenai
omoitoori ni ikanai toki datte
jinsei suteta mon janai tte

doushita no to kyuu ni kikareru to uun nandemo nai
sayounara no ato ni kieru egao watashi rashikunai
shinjitai to negaeba negau hodo nandaka setsunai
aishiteru yo yori mo daisuki no hou ga kimi rashii n janai
the flavor of life

wasurekakete ita hito no kaori wo totsuzen omoidasu koro
furitsumoru yuki no shirosa wo motto sunao ni yorokobitai yo

daiyamondo yori mo yawarakakute atataka na mirai
te ni shitai yo kagiri aru jikan wo kimi to sugoshitai

(Repeat*)

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

*When you say, “Thank you,” to me
It hurts for some reason
Even after our goodbyes the spell isn’t lifted
It’s slightly bittersweet
The flavor of life

In that middle ground between friends and lovers
Unripe fruit dream of the harvest day

Because I can’t take another step forward
It’s way more frustrating than usual, baby

(Repeat*)

Tempting words that just sound sweet
Flavorless conversation
That sort of stuff doesn’t excite me

When things don’t go your way
You can’t just throw your life away

When you ask me, “What’s wrong?”
Oh nothing
After our goodbyes my smile disappears
That’s not like me

The more I wish to believe
The more it hurts for some reason
Instead of saying “I love you,” doesn’t “I like you a lot”
Fit you better?
The flavor of life

Those times I suddenly recall the scent of a person I was about to forget
I want to be more open to the joy of the falling snow’s white color

More than diamonds
I want to have a soft and warm future
I want to spend the time I have left with you

(Repeat*)

JAPANESE

※ありがとう、と君に言われると
なんだかせつない
さようならの後も解けぬ魔法
淡くほろ苦い
The flavor of life※

友達でも恋人でもない中間地点で
収穫の日を夢見てる 青いフルーツ

あと一歩が踏み出せないせいで
じれったいのなんのってbaby

(※くり返し)

甘いだけの誘い文句
味っけの無いトーク
そんなものには興味をそそられない

思い通りにいかない時だって
人生捨てたもんじゃないって

どうしたの?と急に聞かれると
ううん、なんでもない
さようならの後に消える笑顔
私らしくない

信じたいと願えば願うほど
なんだかせつない
「愛してるよ」よりも「大好き」の方が
君らしいんじゃない?
The flavor of life

忘れかけていた人の香りを 突然思い出す頃
降りつもる雪の白さをもっと 素直に喜びたいよ

ダイアモンドよりもやわらかくて
あたたかな未来 手にしたいよ
限りある時間を 君と過ごしたい

(※くり返し)
