Music is one way to learn Japanese while having fun. Currently, Japanese city pop music is receiving renewed attention on various social media. (TikTok, etc.) In this article, I will introduce the lyrics of Miki Matsubara's "Mayonaka no door," which sparked this trend!



Translation of the lyrics

To you

Yes, my love to you

Yes, my love to you, you

To you


Watashi wa watashi, anata wa anata to

Yuube itteta sonna ki mo suru wa

Gurei no jaketto ni

Mioboe ga aru koohii no shimi

Aikawarazu na no ne

Shoo windou ni futari utsureba

I am who I am, you are who you are

I have a feeling that’s what I said last night

You have a coffee stain

On your gray jacket like always

You are the same

Our reflection is on the show window


Stay with me

Mayonaka no doa o tataki

Kaeranaide to naita

Ano kisetsu ga ima me no mae

Stay with me

Kuchiguse wo ii nagara

Futari no toki wo daite

Mada wasurezu

Daiji ni shite ita

Stay with me

I banged the door at midnight

I cried and begged you not to leave

And the season came back

Stay with me

I say this all the time

I still cherish our memories

I still have not forgotten it


Koi to ai to wa chigau mono dayo to

Yuube iwareta sonna ki mo suru wa

Nidome no fuyu ga kite

Hanarete itta anata no kokoro

Furi kaereba itsumo

Soko ni anata wo kanjite ita no

He said romance and love

are a different matter

I have a feeling that’s what you said to me last night

Winter has arrived again

Your heart started leaving me

Whenever I turn around,

I always felt like you were there


Stay with me

Mayonaka no doa o tataki

Kokoro ni ana ga aita

Ano kisetsu ga ima me no mae

Stay with me

Sabishisa magirawashite

Oita rekoodo no hari

Onaji merodi kurikaeshite ita

Stay with me

I banged the door at midnight

I feel a hole in my heart

And the season came back

Stay with me

to try to distract my loneliness

I put the needle on my record

but it skipped to the same melody


Stay with me

Mayonaka no doa o tataki

Kaeranaide to naita

Ano kisetsu ga ima me no mae

Stay with me

Kuchiguse wo ii nagara

Futari no toki wo daiteMada

Wasurezu atatameteta

Stay with me

I banged the door at midnight

I cried and begged you not to leave

And the season came back

Stay with me

I say this all the time

I still cherish our memories

I still have not forgotten it


Stay with me

Mayonaka no doa o tataki

Kaeranaide to naita

Ano kisetsu ga ima me no mae

Stay with me

Kuchiguse wo ii nagara

Futari no toki wo daite

Mada wasurezu atatameteta

Stay with me

I banged the door at midnight

I cried and begged you not to leave

And the season came back

Stay with me

I say this all the time

I still cherish our memories

I still have not forgotten it


Stay with me

Mayonaka no doa o tataki

Kaeranaide to naita

Ano kisetsu ga ima me no mae

Stay with me

I banged the door at midnight

I cried and begged you not to leave

And the season came back


Stay with me

DESCRIPTION

The song has a great melody, but understanding the lyrics about the fragile state of love made this song even more appealing.
