Kenkyushitsu no Coffee no Nioi

研究室の珈琲の匂い

Liner Notes

I've completely come to love the scent of coffee that lingers in the lab. To be exact, I've come to love the person who makes that scent for me. The cup offered with a "good work today." At first it was too strong and not to my taste, but now it feels lacking if it isn't this flavor. The time I spend secretly watching your profile as you talk about papers is the happiest part of my whole day. You, beyond the scent, are a little blurred, close enough to reach if I stretched out my hand, yet just out of reach. If I put this feeling into words, the air between just the two of us might change. So for now, in the scent of the coffee, I quietly stay in love. The countdown to graduation has begun. How many more times will we get to spend time together in this room?

香りがふわっとゆれるしずかな午後のままおつかれさまその声とカップを差し出す手濃いめのコーヒー苦いのに好きになった論文の話うなずきながら横顔をこっそり見る香りの向こうのきみは少しぼやけてる言葉にしたらこの空気変わるかな今のままがいいのにもどかしいコーヒーの香りがするこの部屋が好きになったきみがいるだけで息がやわらかくなるカウントダウンははじまってる卒業まであと少しこの距離のままでもう少しだけデータをみつめるまなざしが好き真剣な顔がなんだかまぶしい帰り際の「じゃあね」がさみしくてエレベーターひとりで降りるまた明日もここにいたい指先がふれそうでふれないまま日がすぎるあと何回コーヒー飲めるだろうコーヒーの香りがするこの部屋が好きになったきみがいるだけで息がやわらかくなるカウントダウンははじまってる卒業まであと少しこの距離のままでもう少しだけ

Translation

The scent drifts and sways in a quiet afternoon, just so "Good work today," that voice and the hand offering a cup Strong coffee bitter, yet I came to love it Talk of papers nodding along I secretly watch your profile You, beyond the scent are a little blurred If I put it into words will this air change? I like it as it is now so frustrating There's the scent of coffee I've come to love this room Just with you here my breath softens The countdown has already begun a little left until graduation at this distance as it is just a little longer The gaze fixed on the data I love it The serious face is somehow dazzling The "see you" at parting is lonely The elevator I go down alone Tomorrow too I want to be here Fingertips almost touch but don't, and the days pass How many more times will I get to drink coffee? There's the scent of coffee I've come to love this room Just with you here my breath softens The countdown has already begun a little left until graduation at this distance as it is just a little longer
