Hiiro Aira Tatsumi Mayoi

Oh, there you go once again, smiling allusively

Like a begonia ¹ flower abloom.

Tiresome lies laid in front of me; I don’t know what’s true.

I prevail over my innocence and piece back together

The boundary line between truth and lies.

You continue to beckon me, but on which side do you stand?

Don’t conceal your answer away in your verbosity.

Hey, hey, just tell me what kind of expression I should make,

To give me the courage that I lack

So I can move on.

With a kind of heart as distorted as this

Surely (surely), the only flower (flower) to adorn it must be you!

Now that I’ve caught your careless gaze, and been enraptured by your flirty behavior,

Well, as you hoped, I’ll let myself fall for you… so please, show me your bloom.

You see, a rookie at unrequited love, enticing so carelessly

Has no chance at capturing someone’s heart.

Mapping out these scattered points, having cut the convenient ones out,

Piecing them back together solely with words.

The limits of an addiction to one's ideals.

You continue to beckon me, but on which side do you stand?

Fate is not to be relied on, even if you interpret it to your whim

I have nothing to use,

But even so, I can’t just wait for a bargaining card

Waiting is pointless, isn’t it?

This love (love), enough to create a distorted heart such as this (such as this),

It is so similar to you!

While I want us to fold together ², we just won’t overlap

Ahh, these distorted feelings plague my mind as I yearn to grasp your hand.

”I’m not asking for understanding, I just want you to know what I want!”

Emotions gone astray;

Fantasies displayed;

There is no such thing as a right answer!

With a kind of heart as distorted as this

Surely (surely), the only flower (flower) to adorn it must be you!

While I want us to fold together ², we just won’t overlap,

But those tainted feelings don’t matter anymore,

Because you’ll forever bloom abundantly in my heart!

TL Notes:
1. In Japanese flower language, the begonia flower represents “one-sided love,” or “love confession.”

2. Folding over but not overlapping may be, in this instance, a reference to the petals of the begonia flower.
