inui/yanagi! : yanagi lyrics - "answer"

[cimorene]

i've been desperately craving inui/yanagi lately. (it's very sad when you're desperate for a rather unpopular pairing, isn't it?) so i asked kyuuketsukirui to translate the lyrics to yanagi's recently-released single, "answer", and she did. o.O translating tenipuri lyrics is sort of a gamble that they will turn out to be gay - they often do, but they're not usually this gay. they surpassed my wildest expectations!


yanagi renji - answer
translated by kyuuketsukirui; kanji & romaji from crosswithyou.net

You can hear my heartbeat, can't you?
You can feel this love, can't you?
I can't shake off these old memories
Still twined around my heart

Those words, those gestures torment me

I don't want to break anything
Even if it means lying to myself
Is it cowardly
That I can't answer?
Please tell me

Though I pull you close, in my arms
I won't entrust you with my heart
What do people fear?
What do they pray for as they sleep?

What can I wish for that will save me now?

Though I try talking of love
There's nothing that's certain
Is it cowardly
That I can't answer?
Please tell me

I don't care if it's fate
I just want to stay like this
Is it cowardly
That I can't answer?
Please tell me
