Original Lyrics: Melancholy Kitchen Lyrics (Romanized)

Your face in profile, and the color of your hair
They seemed a good match for this quiet desk
In the potatoes that were a bit bland
In the pasta that was a bit oversalted, if I recall


At the depths of nights when you weren’t by my side
I saw how small I was, enough to hate myself
In those stupid spats and tears
In that face that jokingly smiled


An empty kitchen, unflapping curtains
I can’t say it, I just can’t
That I’m okay being alone
Just talk about a bright future, in an approachable voice
So even if I’m wrong or scared, I can be by your side


So laugh, laugh, laugh, just like that
And surely, as if by magic, the world was remade
You took the depression that loomed over this room, that I couldn’t be saved from
Chewed it well, and swallowed it down like it was delicious


And besides, you probably don’t know how much I was saved by you
Tomorrow, if perhaps we meet, it’d be nice if we could be honest with each other


Now your cheeks, and the bridge of your nose
They seem a good match for this quiet desk
The sweet cherry bonbons abandoned in the room
The tarte Tatin we killed ourselves making


A tense kitchen, a timer out of batteries
I can’t say it, I just can’t
That I’ve grown to hate it
Just talk about two people’s feelings, in an approachable voice
So I can tell you without being embarrassed


So laugh, laugh, laugh, just like that
And hold the world as if it’s finally reached the point it can freely forgive you
You scooped out the first spoonful of the cooked meal
Blew on it happily, and served it up to me


And besides, suppose you did know how much I was saved by you
Then tomorrow, if perhaps we met, it’d be nice if we could put it all into words


One more time!


So laugh, laugh, laugh, just like that
And surely, as if by magic, the world was remade
You took the depression that loomed over this room, that I couldn’t be saved from
Chewed it well, and swallowed it down like it was delicious


And besides, you probably don’t know how much I was saved by you
Tomorrow, if perhaps we meet, it’d be nice if we could be honest with each other

あなたの横顔や髪の色が
静かな机に並んで見えた
少し薄味のポテトの中
塩っけ多すぎたパスタの中


あなたがそばにいない夜の底で
嫌ってほど自分の小ささを見た
下らない諍いや涙の中
おどけて笑ったその顔の中


誰もいないキッチン 靡かないカーテン
いえない いえないな
独りでいいやなんて
話そう声を出して 明るい未来について
間違えて凍えてもそばにいれるように


笑って 笑って 笑って そうやって
きっと魔法にかかったように世界は作り変わって
この部屋に立ちこめた救えない憂鬱を
おいしそうによく噛んであなたはのみ込んだ


それにどれだけ救われたことか 多分あなたは知らないな
明日会えたらそのときは 素直になれたらいいな


あなたの頬や鼻筋が今
静かな机に並んで見えた
部屋に残してった甘いチェリーボンボン
無理して焼き上げたタルトタタン


張りつめたキッチン 電池の切れたタイマー
いえない いえないな
嫌いになったよなんて
話そう声を出して 二人の思いについて
恥ずかしがらないであなたに言えるように


笑って 笑って 笑って そうやって
やっと自由に許すようになれた世界を持って
作り上げた食事のその一口目を掬って
嬉しそうに息を吹いて僕に差し出したんだ


それにどれだけ救われたことか もしもあなたが知ってても
明日会えたらそのときは 言葉にできたらいいな


もう一度!


笑って 笑って 笑って そうやって
きっと魔法にかかったように世界は作り変わって
この部屋に立ちこめた救えない憂鬱を
おいしそうによく噛んであなたはのみ込んだ


それにどれだけ救われたことか 多分あなたは知らないな
明日会えたらそのときは 素直になれたらいいな
