Utada Hikaru – Flavor of Life

 Arigatou to kimi ni iwareru to nandaka setsunai
sayonara no ato no tokenu mahou awaku horonigai
The flavor of life

tomodachi demo koibito demo nai chuukan chiten de
shuukaku no hi wo yumemiteru aoi furu-tsu
ato ippo ga fumidasenai sei de
jirettai no wa nande?

arigatou to kimi ni iwareru to nandaka setsunai
sayounara no ato no tokenu mahou awaku horonigai
The flavor of life

amai dake no sasoi monku ajike no nai doku
sonna mono ni wa kyoumi wa sosorarenai
omoitoori ni ikanai toki datte
jinsei suteta mon janai tte

dou#a no? to kyuu ni kikareru to “uun. nandemo nai”
sayounara no ato ni kieru egao watashi rashikunai
sinjitai to negaeba negau hodo nandaka setsunai
“ai#eru yo” yori mo “daisuki” no hou ga kimi rashii janai?
The flavor of life

wasurekakete ita hito no omoi wo totsuzen omoidasu koro
furitsumoru yuki no shirosa wo omou to sunao ni yorokobitai yo

daiyamondo yorimo yawarakakute atatakana mirai
teni #ai yo kagiri aru jikan wo kimi to sugo#ai
“arigatou” to kimi ni iwareru to nandaka setsunai
sayounara no ato no tokenu mahou awaku horonigai
The flavor of life

Translation
For some reason it’s painful when you say “Thank You”
The unbreakable magic after “good bye” is weakly bittersweet
The Flavor of life

Not friends, but not lovers, we’re in between
I’m dreaming of the day of the harvest of fresh fruit
Why is it so vexing?

For some reason it’s painful when you say “Thank you”
The unbreakable magic after “good bye” is weakly bittersweet
The flavor of life

Words of invatation that are simply sweet are a sensationless poison
My interest is not peaked by things like that
Life isn’t something that you throw away
When things don’t go your way

When I’m suddenly asked “what’s wrong?” is just say “no, nothing”
The smiling face that disappears after “good bye” isn’t like me
The more i wish that I want to believe, the more painful it is
It’s more like you to say “I like you” more than “I love you”
The flavor of life

When you suddenly remember people you were about to forget
I honestly want to be happy when I think of the whiteness of the snow that builds up

More than diamonds, I want a soft, warm future
I want to spend my limited time with you
For some reason it’s painful when you say “Thank you”
The unbreakable magic after “good bye” is weakly bittersweet
The flavor of life
