失恋したら、顔を洗え! (Shitsuren shitara, kao wo arae!) – Wash your face if you’re heartbroken!

from Sorezore no isu album.

——

Having thrown that crushed paper ball
Into the rubbish bin
To have missed the shot
Can’t help but feel frustration

It was supposed to be
A perfect shot, but
The wind from the air conditioner
Obstructed my intentions

Romance is the same
We may think that all is going well, but
No good! No good!
Heartbreak!

When tears overflow
We can only wash our faces
Until we feel clean and refreshed
So let’s start again without make-up

I move closer to the bin
So I can take another shot
If love is as easy to obtain as that
Then it’ll be boring

Aiming from this difficult distance
Makes it meaningful
Because I knew from the very start
That he has a girlfriend

Even with a low chance
I want to have a heartthrob romance
Bad end! Bad end!
Is just sad

After dreaming
We can only wash our faces
Let the sweet memories
Flow away with the water

When tears overflow
We can only wash our faces
Until we feel clean and refreshed
So let’s start again without make-up

Hurt by love
Twisting the faucet of time
And washing up
Let’s get ready for the next romance

Let’s smile after crying!

Marumeta kamikuzu wo
Gomibako nageta kedo
Sono waki ni hazushichatte
Kuyashikute shou ga nai

Kanpeki na naisu shotto
Kimeru tsumori datta no ni
Kuuchou no kaze no bun dake
Omowaku ga jama sareta

Koi datte onnaji koto
Umaku yuku tte omottetemo
No good! No good!
Haato bureiku!

Namida afuretara
Kao wo arau shika nai
Kirei sappari to
Suppin de denaosou

Gomibako chikazukete
Mou ichido nageru you ni
Kantan ni te ni iretara
Koi nanka tsumaranai

Muzukashii sono kyori wo
Nerau kara imi arunda
Tsuki atteru kanojo ga iru to
Hajime kara wakatteta

Kanousei hikuku tatte
Mune ga tokimeku koi wo shitai
Bad end! Bad end!
Kanashii mon da

Yume wo mita ato de
Kao wo arau shika nai
Amai omoide wa
Saa mizu ni nagasou ze

Namida afuretara
Kao wo arau shika nai
Kirei sappari to
Suppin de denaosou

Ai ni kizutsuite
Toki no jaguchi hinette
Arai nagashitara
Tsugi no koi junbi shiyou

Naita ato waraou ze!

KANJI

丸めた紙くずを
ゴミ箱投げたけど
その脇に外しちゃって
悔しくてしょうがない

完璧なナイスショット
決めるつもりだったのに
空調の風の分だけ
思惑が邪魔された

恋だって同(おんな)じこと
上手く行くって思ってても
No good! No good!
ハートブレイク!

涙 溢(あふ)れたら
顔を洗うしかない
キレイさっぱりと
すっぴんで出直そう

ゴミ箱近づけて
もう一度投げるように
簡単に手に入れたら
恋なんかつまらない

難しいその距離を
狙うから意味あるんだ
付き合ってる彼女がいると
初めからわかってた

可能性 低くたって
胸がときめく恋をしたい
Bad end! Bad end!
悲しいもんだ

夢を見た後で
顔を洗うしかない
甘い思い出は
さあ 水に流そうぜ

涙 溢(あふ)れたら
顔を洗うしかない
キレイさっぱりと
すっぴんで出直そう

愛に傷ついて
時間(とき)の蛇口ひねって
洗い流したら
次の恋 準備しよう

泣いた後 笑おうぜ!
