can’t wait ’til christmas – utada hikaru

tadaima just went and came back from japan this start of november walking around in the chilly air, i felt that christmas is just a month (or so) away!!!! this song from utada hikaru’s new album is so perfect for the season i just had to translate it <3 album’s not yet out officially (don’t ask why i have this, i’m not telling ) so the lyrics i just did by ear and will update the post accordingly once ~~they release the video as twitter rumors say~~ my album gets here

this song is also dedicated to my twin sister and her husband-to-be cos i’m sure they can’t wait for christmas to come along…after christmas, it’ll be just a month ’til they tie the knot (on hyde’s birthday, no less)!! omedetou!! \o/ utada hikaru songs have a very significant place in their love story since they started getting close after finding out they both like her music. and six years after…they’re still together and enjoying her music. i hope they play some of her songs during the wedding

that being said, i also wish everyone happiness during this joyous season. oshiawase ni

Can’t Wait ‘Til Christmas
Utada Hikaru

kurisumasu made matasenaide

yakusoku goto yori mo, ima no kimochi wo kikitakute
ahh

kurisumasu made matasenaide

Can’t Wait ‘Til Christmas
Chelli Translation

don’t make me wait until Christmas
jokingly, time passes by, oh~
on days without anything to do, i want to be just beside you
i’m already, ahh, loving you

what do you think about on a long winter
when spring comes, everyone is preparing for a journey
(but)our season is coming very soon

don’t make me wait until Christmas
the whole town is falling in love with you
don’t put up a cool act in front of me
i’m already, ahh, loving you

ahh~

the white snow enfolds the mountain
just like crossing over, we often *flap our wings
two of us alone on christmas eve

everytime we meet, the distance between us shrinks
our hearts pass each other by little by little
more than any promises, i want to hear your feelings right now
ahh
don’t make me wait until christmas
why do people chase after tomorrow
it’s alright to just treasure the most important people
aaah~
i’m already, ahh loving you

*the japanese word here (tojiru) literally means “close” but i thought “flap” was a more fitting word
