Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Namida by KANA-BOON from Japanese to English.
未完成なまま止まった恋とか
mikanseina mama tomatta koi toka
A love that stopped while still unfinished
返せないまま眠った愛とか
kaesenai mama nemutta ai toka
A love that fell asleep before I could return it
簡単に捨てられないのは
kantan ni suterarenai no wa
The reason I can't just throw them away
きっとまだ続きがあるから
kitto mada tsuzuki ga aru kara
Is surely because there's still more to come
閉じたページから零れる願いと雨
tojita peeji kara koboreru negai to ame
Wishes and rain spill from a closed page
涙が出るよ いつか君も忘れるのかな
namida ga deru yo itsuka kimi mo wasureru no ka na
Tears are falling, I wonder if someday you'll forget too
それでもいいと思えるほど強くも弱くもない
soredemo ii to omoeru hodo tsuyoku mo yowaku mo nai
I'm neither strong nor weak enough to think that's fine
話が合う 可笑しいと笑う
hanashi ga au okashii to warau
We got along, we laughed at what was funny
ただそれだけでよかったんだ
tada sore dake de yokattanda
That alone was all I needed
君のせいにして 本心 嘘にして
kimi no sei ni shite honshin uso ni shite
I blamed it on you and turned my true feelings into lies
いつもいつもいつも
itsumo itsumo itsumo
Always, always, always
幸せになることが怖かった
shiawase ni naru koto ga kowakatta
I was scared of being happy
居心地がよかった
igokochi ga yokatta
It felt so comfortable
涙が出ると 君の指が恋しくなるよ
namida ga deru to kimi no yubi ga koishiku naru yo
When the tears come, I miss your fingers
それでもいまは振り返るわけにはいかないから
soredemo ima wa furikaeru wake ni wa ikanai kara
But still, I can't look back now
流れ 流れ 黙ったまま流れてく
nagare nagare damatta mama nagareteku
Flowing, flowing, silently flowing away
涙が出るよ
namida ga deru yo
The tears come
戻れないとわかっているけど
modorenai to wakatteiru kedo
I know I can't go back
それでも君を忘れないよ
soredemo kimi o wasurenai yo
But still, I won't forget you
涙が零れても それでも
namida ga koboretemo soredemo
Even if the tears spill, still
