Don't Turn the Light On

電気はつけないで

A hand reaching for the switch and stopping halfway — the dark is a choice, not an escape.

Original

手が 伸びかけて

途中で 止まる

スイッチの 音を

聞きたくない

 

見えない ほうが

ちゃんと 見える

顔とか 時間とか

全部 いらない

 

明るく したら

終わるのが 見える

だから お願い

まだ このまま

 

Don't turn it on

暗いままで いて

Don't turn it on

何も 確かめないで

Don't turn it on

朝を 呼ばないで

 

壁の 影が

呼吸を してる

私の ものか

あなたの ものか

 

どっちでも いい

どっちでも 同じ

明るくしたら

違って しまう

 

明るく したら

終わるのが 見える

だから お願い

まだ このまま

 

Don't turn it on

暗いままで いて

Don't turn it on

何も 確かめないで

Don't turn it on

朝を 呼ばないで

 

一度だけ

つけようと した

指が 覚えてる

その 迷いを

 

Don't turn it on

暗いままで いて

Don't turn it on

何も 確かめないで

Don't turn it on

朝を 呼ばないで

English translation

My hand starts to reach

and stops halfway

the sound of the switch —

I don't want to hear it

 

Not seeing

lets me see properly

faces, the time —

I need none of it

 

If we make it bright

I'll see it ending

so please

stay like this a while

 

Don't turn it on

stay in the dark with me

Don't turn it on

don't check anything

Don't turn it on

don't call the morning

 

The shadow on the wall

is breathing

whether it is mine

or whether it is yours

 

Either is fine

either is the same

if we make it bright

it will become something else

 

If we make it bright

I'll see it ending

so please

stay like this a while

 

Don't turn it on

stay in the dark with me

Don't turn it on

don't check anything

Don't turn it on

don't call the morning

 

Once, only once

I tried to turn it on

my fingers remember

that hesitation

 

Don't turn it on

stay in the dark with me

Don't turn it on

don't check anything

Don't turn it on

don't call the morning
