君の名前を呼んだ後に (Kimi no namae wo yonda ato ni) – After calling your name
from
Kimi no namae wo yonda ato ni single,
EXPLORER album.

Written on a signboard in the deserted train station
Is a name I’m seeing for the first time
The coffee that comes in paper cups
No matter where I buy it from, it always tastes horrible
Because what’s precious to me is far away
I am here now on a whim
You are the only one in this world
In the city I will be returning to now, but
I want to see you soon
I don’t care what words you use
What will you say after calling my name?
I want to hear it right now
Are you doing fine today?
Is life without me less troublesome?
“Maybe it’s not so bad that he’s not here”
Are you thinking that?
Telling me to come back quick
Looking forward to my return
It made me proud, and now it’s hard to imagine
How certain the feeling of you being by my side was
If the warmth in these fingertips
Is made to be shared with someone
Then the paper cup coffee
Might not be so bad after all
I want to see you soon
Want to see you soon, want to see you
After calling your name
I will say thank you for always staying by my side

Sabireta eki no kanban wa
Hajimete miru namae ga kaite aru
Kami koppu no koohii wa
Mattaku doko de nondemo konna ni mazuin darou
Taisetsu na mono wa tooku ni aru to
Katte ni kimetsukete boku wa ima koko ni iru
Kimi wa sekai ni hitori shika inakute
Korekara kaeru machi ni iru no ni
Kimi ni hayaku aitai yo

Boku no namae wo yonda sono ato ni
Kimi ga nani wo iu no ka imasugu kikitai

Kimi ga soba ni iru koto wo atarimae ni kanjiteta
Kono yubisaki no nukumori wo dareka ni mo

Hayaku aitai yo aitai yo
Kimi no namae wo yonda sono ato ni
Itsumo soba ni ite kurete arigatou to iu yo

KANJI
寂れた駅の看板は
初めて見る名前が書いてある
紙コップのコーヒーは
全くどこで飲んでもこんなにまずいんだろう
大切なものは遠くにあると
勝手に決めつけて僕は今ここにいる
君は世界に一人しかいなくて
これから帰る街にいるのに
君に早く会いたいよ
どんな言葉でもかまわない
僕の名前を呼んだその後に
君が何をいうのか今すぐ聞きたい
今日も元気でいるだろうか
僕がいなくて困っていることはないかな
いないのも悪くないのかもと
思ったりしていないかな
はやく戻ってくるのを
君が楽しみにしてるって
胸を張って今想えないほど僕は
君が側にいることを当たり前に感じてた
この指先の温もりを誰かにも
わけたいと作られたのなら
紙コップのコーヒーも
悪くないと思えた
君に早く会いたいよ
早く会いたいよ 会いたいよ
君の名前を呼んだその後に
いつも側にいてくれてありがとうと言うよ
