UTADA HIKARU (宇多田ヒカル) FLAVOR OF LIFE (ORIGINAL VERSION) LYRICS

 
Japanese Romaji Lyrics:

Arigatou, to kimi ni iwareru to
Nandaka setsunai
Sayounara no ato mo tokenu mahou
Awaku horo nigai
The Flavor of Life, The Flavor of Life

Tomodachi demo koibito demo nai chuukan chiten de
Shuukaku no hi wo yume miteru
Aoi FURUUTSU

Ato ippo ga fumi dase nai sei de
Jirettai no nan notte baby

Arigatou, to kimi ni iwareru to
Nandaka setsunai
Sayounara no ato mo tokenu mahou
Awaku horo nigai
The Flavor of Life, The Flavor of Life

Amai dake no sasoi monku
Ajikke no nai TOOKU
Sonna mono ni wa kyoumi wo sosorare nai

Omoi doori ni ika nai toki datte
Jinsei suteta mon ja nai tte

Doushita no? to kyuu ni kikareru to
Uun, nan demo nai
Sayounara no ato ni kieru egao
Watashi rashiku nai
Shinjitai to negaeba negau hodo
Nandaka setsunai
"Aishiteru yo" yori mo "Daisuki" no hou ga
Kimi rashiin ja nai?
The Flavor of Life, The Flavor of Life

Wasure kakete ita hito no kaori wo
Totsuzen omoidasu goro
Furi tsumoru yuki no shiro sa wo motto
Sunao ni yorokobitai yo
DAIAMONDO yori mo yawarakakute
Atataka na mirai te ni shitai yo
Kagiri aru jikan wo kimi to sugoshitai

Arigatou, to kimi ni iwareru to
Nandaka setsunai
Sayounara no ato mo tokenu mahou
Awaku horo nigai
The Flavor of Life, The Flavor of Life

English Translation:

For some reason it's painful when you say "Thank You"
The unbreakable magic after "good bye" is weakly bittersweet
The Flavor of life, The Flavor of Life

Not friends, but not lovers, we're inbetween
I'm dreaming of the day of the harvest of fresh fruit
Why is it so vexing?

For some reason it's painful when you say "Thank you"
The unbreakable magic after "Good Bye" is weakly bittersweet
The Flavor of Life, The Flavor of Life

Words of invitation that are simply sweet
Are a sensationless poison
My interest is not peaked by things like that
Life isn't something that you throw away
When things don't go your way

When I'm suddenly asked "What's wrong?", I just say "No, nothing"
The smiling face that disappears after "Good Bye" isn't like me
The more I wish that I want to believe, the more painful it is
It's more like you to say "I like you" more than "I love you"
The Flavor of Life

When you suddenly remember people you were about to forget
I honestly want to be happy
When I think of the whiteness of the snow that builds up

More than diamonds, I want a soft, warm future
I want to spend my limited time with you
For some reason it's painful when you say "Thank you"
The unbreakable magic after "good bye" is weakly bittersweet
The Flavor of Life, The Flavor of Life
