Translated lyrics:

Artist: Mr Children

Title: Kurumi (Walnut)

Words: Sakurai Kazutoshi

Music: Sakurai Kazutoshi

tell me, Kurumi

What do you see looking at this city

How do I look to you now?
tell me, Kurumi

When I start to hear the sarcasm in someone’s kindness

What am I to do?
Remembering only the good times

though it makes me feel like I’ve aged a sum

But you gotta be one of the gears

trying to get turning

You can have only as much despair as you have hope.

but still, my heart trembles at the thought of the future‘what’s going to happen?’I try to imagine.
tell me, Kurumi

If time will eventually wash it all away

then life must be a simple affair.
tell me, Kurumi

since then I haven’t cried once

but, neither have I had many good laughs
Somewhere I did up the buttons wrong,by the time I notice, there’s one button leftover

and similarly one button hole, in need of a button

If you find meaning in finding someone then fine

you can have only as many partingsas you do encounters

still my heart trembles at the thought of hope.everytime I encounter a crossroads

I’ll fret over which way to go but…
Eventhough I want more than I have now

I sing for an unchanging lovethat’s what makes the gears turn

with the burden of more than I need,making a dull grinding sound

you can have only as much despair as you do hope

and still my heart tremblesat the thought of the future“what’s going to happen?”let’s imagineyou can have only as many partingsas you do encounters

and still my heart trembles at the thought of hopeguess there’s no turning back,so I’ll go on, to a road without you.

Translator’s Notes: The title of this song is Kurumi like a woman’s name. I suppose there might be some woman in the US named Walnut. But I’ve left it as Kurumi to reflect this.
