Japanese / Romaji Lyrics

Kimi wa hon wo yomu

Watashi ga yomanai hon wo yomu

Kimi wa hon wo yomu

Watashi wa sono kansou wo kiku

Kimi ga yonda hon wo

Ganbatte watashi mo yomu

Kimi ga yonda hon wo

Sukoshi zutsu watashi mo yomu

Katsuji wa nigate onaji tokoro wo nankai mo

Kurikaeshi kurikaeshi kiri ga nai

Dakedo kimi ga namida wo nagashita shiin de

Onaji kazu dake namida wo nagashite mitai

Shiranakatta sekai ga me no mae ni arawareru

Sakusha no fikushon ka?

Totemo awai koi no hanashi da

Itsumo minogashite kita you na keshiki ga

Atama wo shikitsumete yuku

Sakusha wa kaita kono tsuzuki wa jibun de tsukurinasai to

Kimi wa hon wo yomu

Watashi wa sono yokogao wo yomu

Itsumo sono hon wa

Happii endo ja nai no

Kanji mo nigate mita koto mo nai tango ga

Guru guru guru me ga mawarisou da

Dakedo kimi ga wakaranai kotoba wo kondo wa

Watashi ga oshiete ageraretara ii yo ne

Shiranakatta sekai ga me no mae ni arawareru

Ki no kiita serifu ga monogatari wo irodoru

Itsumo minogashite kita you na keshiki ga

Atama wo shikitsumete yuku

Kono hon ni owari wa nai

Tsuzuki wa jibun de tsukuridasu no da

Kutakuta ni natta

Shiori no yakume wa owari

Saigo no yohaku ni

Watashi nari no happii endo wo

Shiranakatta sekai ga me no mae ni arawareru

Sakusha no fikushon ga

Nonfikushon ni kawaru

Kimi to mite kita kore made no keshiki ga

Atama wo shikitsumete yuku

Watashi wa kaita kono tsuzuki wa kimi to tsukuridasu no da

English Translation

You're reading a book

A book that I wouldn't read

You're reading a book

I'll listen to those impressions of yours

The book you read

I'll do my best to read it too

The book you read

I'll read it a little at a time too

I'm not good with printed words

I start off from the same place over and over again

But I want to cry the same amount of tears

During the scene where you cried

I've found a world I didn't know about right before me

Is this the author's fiction?

It's a story of a very faint love

The scenery I've always seemed to have missed

Is spreading all over my head

The author's having me write the sequel myself

You're reading a book

I'll read that side profile

That book

Never has a happy ending

I'm not good with kanji; vocabulary I've never seen

Makes my eyes go round and round

But I hope that next time

I can teach you the words that you don't know

I've found a world I didn't know about right before me

Witty dialogue decorates the story

The scenery I've always seemed to have missed

Is spreading all over my head

This book has no ending

I'll write the sequel myself

The role of my worn-out bookmark

Is over

In the last margin

I'll write my own happy ending

I've found a world I didn't know about right before me

The author's fiction

Turns into non-fiction

The scenery I've seen with you so far

Is spreading all over my head

I'll write this sequel together with you

Kana (Kanji, Hiragana, Katakana) Lyrics

君は本を読む

私が読まない本を読む

君は本を読む

私はその感想を聞く

君が読んだ本を

頑張って私も読む

君が読んだ本を

少しずつ私も読む

活字は苦手　同じところを何回も

繰り返し繰り返しキリが無い

だけど君が涙を流したシーンで

同じ数だけ涙を流してみたい

知らなかった世界が目の前に現れる

作者のフィクションか？

とても淡い恋の話だ

いつも見逃してきたような景色が

頭を敷き詰めて行く

作者は書いた　この続きは自分で作りなさいと

君は本を読む

私はその横顔を読む

いつもその本は

ハッピーエンドじゃないの

漢字も苦手　見たこともない単語が

ぐるぐるぐる　目が回りそうだ

だけど君がわからない言葉を今度は

私が教えてあげられたら良いよね

知らなかった世界が目の前に現れる

気の利いた台詞が物語を彩る

いつも見逃してきたような景色が

頭を敷き詰めて行く

この本に終わりは無い

続きは自分で作りだすのだ

くたくたになった

栞の役目は終わり

最後の余白に

私なりのハッピーエンドを

知らなかった世界が目の前に現れる

作者のフィクションが

ノンフィクションに変わる

君と見てきたこれまでの景色が

頭を敷き詰めて行く

私は書いた　この続きは君と作り出すのだ
