French Kiss - If

If

French Kiss

This group is a sub-group of AKB48 composed of Asuka Kuramochi (Team A), Yuki Kashiwagi (Team B) and Aki Takajou (Team A). I started to listen to them when this song released. I really like the cover. Enjoy~

If ja hajimaranai koi wo shite irunara
Nee moshimo no michi de mayowanai de

Min’na no naka ni anata ga iruto
Itsumo to chigau watashi ni naru no
Tomodachi ni sae hanashite inai
Himitsu no sei ne gikochinaku naru

Kazaru koto naku bukiyouna mama
Itoshisa to jibun to wakari aou

If ja hajimaranai kuusou shite ite mo
Kyou to onaji modokashisa
If ja hajimaranai yuuki dashite mi you
Saa moshimo no saki ni mirai wa aru

Don'na kotoba de tsutaereba ii
Furareru koto ni okubyou ni naru
Doa wo akenakya kizukanai deshou
Kizutsuku koto ni okubyou sugiru

Hito wa dare demo atama no naka de
Hazukashii kekka ni obieru mono

If wo kangaezu ni yaritai you ni yarou
Hontou no jibun daseba ii
If wo kangaezu ni sunao ni nareta toki
Sou moshimo ijou ni tsuyoku nareru

Shippai nanka sugu ni wasureru
Taisetsuna koto to wa nigenai koto

If ja hajimaranai koi wo shite irunara
Seikai nante nani ni mo nai
If ja hajimaranai koi wo shite irunara
Sa moshimo no kasetsu pojitibu ni ike

If じゃ始まらない　恋をしているなら
ねぇ　もしもの道で　迷わないで

みんなの中に　あなたがいると
いつもと違う　私になるの
友達にさえ　話していない
秘密のせいね　ぎこちなくなる

飾ることなく　不器用なまま
愛しさと自分と　分かり合おう

If じゃ始まらない　空想していても
今日と同じ　もどかしさ
Ifじゃ始まらない　勇気出してみよう
さぁ　もしもの先に　未来はある

どんな言葉で　伝えればいい
振られることに　臆病になる
ドアを開けなきゃ　気付かないでしょう
傷つくことに　臆病すぎる

人は誰でも　頭の中で
恥ずかしい結果に　怯えるもの

If を考えずに　やりたいようにやろう
本当の自分　出せばいい
Ifを考えずに　素直になれた時
そう　もしも以上に　強くなれる

失敗なんか　すぐに忘れる
大切なこととは　逃げないこと

If じゃ始まらない　恋をしているなら
正解なんて　何にもない
Ifじゃ始まらない　恋をしているなら
さぁ　もしもの仮説　ポジティブに行け


[translation]
nothing will start from thinking "if..."when you're in love
hey, don't lose yourself on the path of "what if's"

when, among everyone, you're around
I become a different "me"
I haven't even told my friends
keeping this secret is making me awkward

clumsily, without glossing over
let's face ourselves and our feelings

nothing will start from thinking "if..." no matter how much you daydream
there'll always be that same impatience from today
nothing will start from thinking "if..."let's try to have courage
beyond those "what if's" lies the future

what words should I use to say it?
I get so scared of being rejected
"if you don't open the door, you'll never realize it, right?"
but I'm too afraid of being hurt

everyone, inside their minds,
is scared of being embarrassed by the outcome

without thinking about the "if's" let's do what we want to do
we should just be our real selves
when, without thinking about the "if's" you're capable of being honest,
you'll be much stronger than the "what if's"

if you fail, you can forget about it right away
the important thing is not to run away

nothing will start from thinking "if..." when you're in love
there are no right answers
nothing will start from thinking "if..."when you're in love
as for those "what if..." theories,just think positive
