Ayumi Hamasaki - Story Lyrics

[Romanized:]

Deai wa guuzen nanka ja nai
Koto ni deatta toki kizuita ne
Sore wo kokoro no dokoka itsumo
Hitei shinakya to ii kikase nagara

Moshi futari no suto-ri-nara
Donna ni suteki dattarou
Tada kore dake wa eien ni
Futari kiri no suto-ri- ni naranai

Egao de surechigau yo
Shiranai doushi no youni
Senaka de mitsumeai nagara
Kimi ni sachiare to otagai ni
Inotte

Omoide wa mada hiri hiri suru
Yasashi sugiru jikan datta kara
Wakatte iru yo kimi mo onaji
Kizu wo otte shimattanda yo ne

Chigau hajimari no suto-ri-
Naraba donna datta kana
Sukoshi yume ni mitari shita
Suto-ri-wa hontou ni natta kana

Kono tsugi no jinsei de
Umarekawatta toki wa
Dare yorimo hayaku otagai wo
Mitsukedashite miseru kara ne to
Waratte

Egao de surechigau yo
Shiranai doushi no youni
Senaka de mitsumeai nagara
Kimi ni sachiare to otagai ni

Kono tsugi no jinsei de
Umarekawatta toki wa
Dare yorimo hayaku otagai wo
Mitsukedashite miseru kara ne to
Waratte

[Japanese:]

出逢いは偶然なんかじゃない
事に出逢った時気付いたね
それを心のどこかいつも
否定しなきゃと言い聞かせながら

もし2人のストーリーなら
どんなに素敵だったろう
ただこれだけは永遠に
2人きりのストーリーにならない

笑顔ですれ違うよ
知らない同士のように
背中で見つめ合いながら
君に幸あれとお互いに
祈って

思い出はまだヒリヒリする
優しすぎる時間だったから
わかっているよ君も同じ
傷を負ってしまったんだよね

違う始まりのストーリー
ならばどんなだったかな
少し夢に見たりした
ストーリーは現実になったかな

この次の人生で
生まれ変わった時は
誰よりも早くお互いを
見つけ出してみせるからねと
笑って

笑顔ですれ違うよ
知らない同士のように
背中で見つめ合いながら
君に幸あれとお互いに

この次の人生で
生まれ変わった時は
誰よりも早くお互いを
見つけ出してみせるからねと
笑って

[English translation:]

Meetings don't happen by chance
I realised this when I met you
All the while telling myself somewhere in my heart
That I should deny it

What kind of beautiful story would it have been
If it had been ours only?
But the story won't be
Only ours forever

We pass each other with a smile
Like two strangers
While gazing at each other's backs
We wish each other well

The memories still sting
Because those days were just too sweet
I know. you also received
The same wounds

How would our story have been
If it had begun differently?
Did the story I had seen in my dreams
Become reality?

"When I am reborn
In my next life
We'll try to find each other
Sooner than anyone else, right?"
Saying so with a smile

We pass each other with a smile
Like two strangers
While gazing at each other's backs
We wish each other well

"When I am reborn
In my next life
We'll try to find each other
Sooner than anyone else, right?"
Saying so with a smile
