ベルより小さい好き

Beru Yori Chiisai Suki

Liner Notes

I turned into a song this one-sided love that's smaller than a bicycle bell, yet won't stop. It depicts the moment at the bike racks after school when I want to talk to you but can't, and only the depths of my chest end up ringing. The signature line of the chorus is "a love smaller than a bell." I'd be happy if I could add a little light to the back of someone whose love hasn't yet found words.

Lyrics (Japanese)

ゆうがたの風ベルがゆれる自転車置き場の影きみの背中が近い話したいことだけハンドルでふるえる鳴らしていいのにベルが黙ってるわたしの心も同じかたち手袋の中で好きがあたたまるきみのベルの音でわたしが目を覚ますベルより小さい好きなのに止まらない追いかける背中に言葉が追いつかないふれたら鳴りそう胸の奥のベルベルより小さい好ききみに届くまで曲がり角でスピード落とすきみが振り向くそれだけで熱い並んで走りたいでもまだ言えないベルはまだ鳴らさず笑顔を作る肩が触れそうで息が浅くなる聞こえないくらいの好きが増えていくベルより小さい好きなのに止まらない追いかける背中に言葉が追いつかないふれたら鳴りそう胸の奥のベルベルより小さい好ききみに届くまできみの名前を口の中で練習ベルの代わりに息で言うすきすきベルより小さい好きやっと鳴らしたいきみに追いついたら笑って言えますようにふれたら鳴りそう胸の奥のベルベルより小さい好ききみに渡す日まで

Translation

The evening breeze the bell sways In the shadow of the bike racks your back is close Only the things I want to say tremble in my handlebars I'm allowed to ring it yet the bell stays silent My heart too has the same shape Inside my gloves this love grows warm With the sound of your bell I wake up A love smaller than a bell yet it won't stop Words can't catch up to the back I'm chasing If I touch it, it might ring the bell deep in my chest A love smaller than a bell until it reaches you At the corner I slow down You turn around and just that makes me burn I want to ride beside you but I still can't say it Without ringing the bell yet I shape a smile Our shoulders almost touch and my breath grows shallow A love too quiet to be heard keeps growing A love smaller than a bell yet it won't stop Words can't catch up to the back I'm chasing If I touch it, it might ring the bell deep in my chest A love smaller than a bell until it reaches you Your name I practice it in my mouth Instead of the bell I say it with my breath I like you I like you A love smaller than a bell I finally want to ring it When I catch up to you I hope I can say it with a smile If I touch it, it might ring the bell deep in my chest A love smaller than a bell until the day I hand it to you
