口約束 (Kuchi yakusoku) – Verbal promise
from Sorezore no isu album.
——
Even if I get a boyfriend someday
I will definitely not change
Let’s promise that this friendship
Between us girls always comes first
If, all of a sudden
One of us becomes distant
And starts to say
That they are always busy
We have a rule to expel that person
From our group of friends
As a betrayer
Who secretly acts before the others
With such a
Verbal promise
We got so excited that day
We were still young
And really thought that
We’ll stay the same
Believing that our relationship then
As precious friends
Would continue forever
But hardly had those words been said
Did things change
Finally, you passed up on
Our usual drinking party
Cancelling at the last minute
Saying you needed to rush home
Peeking constantly and anxiously
At your smartphone
Lies and secrets
No longer confessed
Hiding it even from your friends
The process of happiness
And then
Suddenly, one day
You’ll surely say it
With much triumph, right?
“Sorry, I’m getting married”…
It can’t be you
We never expected you
We often discuss it
Tasting defeat
Since we are girls
We’ll aim
To surprise our friends, right?
Hoping to say
“I’m getting married first”
Yes, escaping
To the victor’s group
With such a
Verbal promise
We got so excited that day
We were still young
And really thought that
We’ll stay the same
Believing that our relationship then
As precious friends
Would continue forever
Suddenly, one day
You’ll surely say it
With much triumph, right?
“Sorry, I’m getting married”…
But all of us
Will say “congratulations”
While showing you big smiles…
For passing us by

いつか彼氏ができたって
絶対 私は変わらない
女同士の友情を
優先するって誓おうよ
もしも 急に
よそよそしくなって
用事があるのと
言い始めたら
抜け駆けをする
裏切り者めと
仲良しグループを
除名するルール
そんな
口約束で
盛り上がったあの日
まだ 若かったし
ホントに そう思った
ずっと このまま
今のこの関係が
続くものって信じてた
大事な友よ
舌の根も乾かぬうちに
事情 変わってしまったね
やがて いつもの飲み会も
予定 合わなくなって来た
ドタキャンしたり
早く帰らなきゃと
スマホをチラチラと
気にして見たり
嘘や秘密を
白状しなくなる
仲間にまで隠す
しあわせのプロセス
そして
ある日 突然
勝ち誇ったみたいに
きっと 言うんでしょう?
ごめん 結婚するって…
まさか あんたが…
予想外の順番
敗北感 味わうわ
よくある話
女の子だったら
狙うでしょ?
友達へのサプライズ
先に結婚するって
言いたくて
そう 勝ち組へ
足抜けしよう
そんな
口約束で
盛り上がったあの日
まだ 若かったし
ホントに そう思った
ずっと このまま
今のこの関係が
続くものって信じてた
大事な友よ
ある日 突然
勝ち誇ったみたいに
きっと 言うんでしょう?
ごめん 結婚するって…
だけど みんなで
おめでとうと言うわ
わざとらしく微笑んで…
先を越された
