Artist: Hitoto Yoh
Title: Morainaki (Sympathy Tears)
Words: Hitoto Yoh
Music: Mashiko Tatsuroh, Takebe Satoshi, Mizobuchi Daichi

Ee I Aa "sympathy tears" from you
we get sentimental between just the two of us.
Ee I Aa "sympathy tears" to you
Which of us is being sympathetic?

A noctiluca glued to the subtitle heavy TV shows from the morning. *1
looking for my own place in the spacious living room,
suddenly I remembered you.
I can't talk about love with my friends who know so much already
I'm a dreamer.
shut myself away inside a cardboard box
but you know, it's just... listen listen listen to me

Ee I Aa "sympathy tears" from you
we get sentimental between just the two of us.
Ee I Aa "sympathy tears" to you
Which of us is being sympathetic?

The more I say it the more virgo sounds like a meaningless microcosm.
The picture book I thought to give him,
is now out of fashion.
The ringtone that plays just after midnight,
no one is coming to meet Cinderella.
Tomorrow - I can smile - First - Step.
I want you to tell me with your body.
I want it, I want it.

Ee I Aa "sympathy tears" from you
we get sentimental between just the two of us.
Ee I Aa "sympathy tears" to you
Which of us is being sympathetic?

Ee I Aa "sympathy tears" trickling down
all by myself, just the two of us. *2
Ee I Aa "sympathy tears" to you.
You're the one being sympathetic.

Ee I Aa "sympathy tears" from you
we get sentimental between just the two of us.
Ee I Aa "sympathy tears" to you
Which of us is being sympathetic?

Ee I Aa "sympathy tears" from you
we get sentimental between just the two of us
Ee I A Thank you "sympathy tears"
You're the one being sympathetic.

Translator's Notes: The title of this song morainaki refers to when one person upon seeing another person cry then cries themselves because either they were moved by the display or they sympathize. On to the *'s!

*1 - A noctiluca is...basically a firefly or beetle.

*2 - The line is vague.. it could be connected and saying "when we're together we're each seperate still..." or it could be just a broken thought saying... "I'm all alone, all alone and we're alone together" We're not sure.
