=================================================
Hey, I'm afraid to ask you,
For I want to know so much...
But, if I open my heart,
I feel that would be the end.
And there is only one thing...
Still, I will love you more.

AI-SHITE-IMASU I LOVE YOU

Kon'ya no anata wa sukoshi 
Yasashiku kanjimashita
Deatta hi wo oboete 
itekuremashita
==
Tonight you were a little kinder than usual. 
You remembered the day we first met.

Mou suguko no akai nikkichou mo ni-satsume wo
kai ni ikanakya ikenai
(kedo) mayotte imasu
==
Soon, I will have to go and buy a second red diary, 
(but) I have become confused.

hoka ni suki na hito demo 
dekita no desu ka
nikki ni wa kakeru no ni
kikemasen
==
Have you found another lover?
I can write this in my diary, but
I would never really ask.

* Ai ga 
itsu made mo moeru youni
akai nikkichou wo katta 
keredo
===
To make sure this love burns forever
I bought a new red diary
However...

Ai wa
moeru kara kieru no desu ka
oshiete kudasai nee nee anata
====
Is it because this
love is burning that it will disappear? 
Please let me know.
Huh? Huh Darling?

Kon'ya no anata mou naze ka
yasashiku kanjimashita
nano ni doko ka samishii
me wo shiteimashita
==
Tonight why were you kinder than always?
Where is the sadness...
I believe your eyes.

mou sugu tenjo hi dakedo
aitakunaito
watashi ga iu i deshitara
doushimasu ka
==
Right away you look at the ceiling,
You don't want to meet.
I said to myself what should I do? 

Ai ni
itsu made mo akai ito wo
musunde kuno wa muzukashii desu ne
==
The forever love that is bound on the red
string is difficult.

Ai ga
mo e tsukita sono sugi ni wa
watashi wa donna nikkicho wo (erabebaiino...)
===
After that burning love runs out,
What kind of diary is there for me? (Choose...)

* Ai ga 
itsu made mo moeru youni
akai nikkichou wo katta 
keredo
===
To make sure this love burns forever
I bought a new red diary
However...

Ai wa 
moeru kara kieru no desu ka
oshiete kudasai nee nee anata
====
Is it because this
love is burning that it will disappear?  
Please let me know.  
Huh? Huh? Darling.
