Utada Hikaru - The Flavor of Life

Because life is sweet and bitter sometimes...



Utada Hikaru - The Flavor of Life (japanese... english translation at bottom)

* Arigatou, to kimi ni iwareru to
nandaka setsunai
sayounara no ato mo tokenu mahou
awaku horonigai
The flavor of life

tomodachi demo koibito demo nai chuukan chiten de
shuukaku no hi wo yume miteru aoi FURU-TSU

ato ippo ga fumidasenai sei de
jirettai no nan notte baby

* repeat

amai dake no sasoi monku

sonna mono ni wa kyoumi wo sosorarenai

omoidoori ni ikanai toki datte
jinsei suteta mon ja naitte

doushita no? to kyuu ni kikareru to
uun, nan demo nai
sayounara no ato ni kieru egao

"ai shiteru yo" yori mo "daisuki" no hou ga
kimi rashii ja nai?
The flavor of life

wasurekakete ita hito no kaori wo

DAIAMONDO yori mo yawarakakute
atatakana mirai te ni shitai yo
kagiri aru jikan wo kimi to sugoshitai

(English Translation)
When you say thank you to me,
for some reason it hurts,
Like a magic spell that doesn't
get undone even after the good bye.
a hint of bitterness.
The flavor of life

Stuck midpoint between friends and lovers,
like an unripe fruit dreaming about the day of harvest
being unable to just move one more step forward
is what's causing this frustration baby

When you say thank you to me,
for some reason it hurts,
Like a magic spell that doesn't
get undone even after the good bye.
a hint of bitterness
The flavor of life

Sweet talk and tasteless conversations.
it sparks no interest in me
even when things do not go the way you want
it doesnt mean you've thrown your life away

When asked 'whats wrong?'
I answer 'its nothing'
The smile that disappears after goodbye
It's unlike me

The more i wish to believe in you,
For some reason it hurts even more
'i like you a lot' instead of 'i love you' sounds more like you
the flavor of life

the period when you suddenly remember the scent of someone you had almost forgotten
I want to be able to openly and honestly cherish the white purity of the falling snow more

A future tender and warmer than a diamond
i want to grasp it, in this limited time we have, i want to spend it with you

when you say thank you to me,
for some reason it hurts,
Like a magic spell that doesnt
get undone even after the good bye.
a hint of bitterness
The flavor of life
