静かなまぼろし Lyrics in English by 松任谷由実

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song 静かなまぼろし by 松任谷由実 from Japanese to English.
通りのドアが開き 雑踏が迷い込む
toori no doa ga hiraki zattou ga mayoikomu
The door to the street opens and the noise of the crowd wanders in
そのときまぼろしを見てる気がした
sono toki maboroshi o miteru ki ga shita
At that moment I felt like I was seeing a phantom
小走りのシルエット ガラスを押して
kobashiri no shiruetto garasu o oshite
A hurrying silhouette pushing on the glass
あなたが店に入ってきた
anata ga mise ni haittekita
You came into the café
もしも微笑み この席で向き合えば
moshimo hohoemi kono seki de mukiaeba
If we smiled and sat facing each other at this table
時は戻ってしまうの遠い日に
toki wa modotteshimau no tooi hi ni
Would time go back to those distant days?
全てをわかち合い 歩いた二人が
subete o wakachiai aruita futari ga
The two of us who once shared everything and walked side by side
今では柱越し別のテーブル
ima de wa hashiragoshi betsu no teeburu
Are now at separate tables, a pillar between us
誰かとメニュウを選ぶささやき
dareka to menyuu o erabu sasayaki
Your whispers with someone as you choose from the menu
ふりむく勇気がなかった
furimuku yuuki ga nakatta
I didn't have the courage to turn around
会わない日々を云いつくす言葉など
awanai hibi o iitsukusu kotoba nado
Words that could tell everything about our days apart
もういらないの気づかずいて欲しい
mou iranai no kizukazuitehoshii
I don't need them anymore; I just hope you won't notice me
昔の恋をなつかしく思うのは
mukashi no koi o natsukashiku omou no wa
Feeling nostalgic about an old love
今の自分が幸せだからこそ
ima no jibun ga shiawase dakara koso
Is exactly because I'm happy now
もう 忘れて
mou wasurete
Just forget it
