「涙の理由」/ “Namida no Riyuu”
“The Reason for the Tears”

“I might hate practice, but I’ll be back at it tomorrow, I know…”

Translation:

So maybe I’ve never understood what’s so fun about it
It’s never really bothered me, and I’ve made it this far
It shouldn’t make any difference whether I like it or not
But it annoyed me whenever somebody got hung up on it

Ever since the day I stood in a place I never thought I’d find myself

Out of frustration, bitter frustration / They just started falling / And the reason for those tears
Is something I think I want to get a little closer to understanding
Though I’d hate if that turned out to be the answer

The next time we play, I definitely want to win
There’s nothing fun about a losing streak, after all

I might hate practice, but I’ll be back at it tomorrow, I know

I realized at the last second / The first time I’ve ever felt this way / It’s still so new to me
I’ll take another step forward / Beyond the door that now stands open
It might be nice to give this new game a chance

What overflowed was something / Something I can’t explain / …like “passion”, kinda?
Maybe this is what they meant? / If it is or not, I don’t care either way / For now, anyway

Out of frustration, bitter frustration / They just started falling / And the reason for those tears
Is something I think I want to get a little closer to understanding
Though I’d hate if that turned out to be the answer
Though I’d hate if that decided whether I like it or not

Romaji:

Tanoshimikata nanka / wakaranai mama demo
Betsu ni kamawanai de koreteta kara
Suki ka dou ka nante / dou demo ii koto ni
Kodawarareru tabi ira tsuita kedo

Tadoritsuku hazu no nai / ano basho ni tatta hi kara

Kuyashikute kuyashikute / shizen to koboreteta / namida no riyuu ni
Sukoshi dake jibun kara / chikadzuite miteru no kamo
Sore ga kotae toka omowaretara yada kedo

Kono tsugi yaru toki wa / yappari kachitai shi
Makeppanashi da to / tsumannai desho

Renshuu wa kirai demo / tsudzuketeku ashita mo, kitto

Girigiri de ki ga tsuita / hajimete no omoi ni / mada narenakutemo
Ato ippo fumidashite / hiraita tobira no saki de
Atarashii geemu wo shite miru no mo ii ka na

Afuredashita no wa nanka / setsumei tsukanai nanka / …jounetsu? mitai na
Minna ga yoku iu yatsu to / onaji ka chigau ka nante / docchi demo ii kedo / ima wa

Kuyashikute kuyashikute / shizen to koboreteta / namida no riyuu ni
Sukoshi dake jibun kara / chikadzuite miteru no kamo
Sore ga kotae toka omowaretara yada kedo
Suki ka douka toka kimeraretara yada kedo
