「Kanure」(Canelé) English Translation

Trying to thoroughly savor the leftover canelé,

Once I finish our memories together will be over

The last taste

The first morning

Signaling the beginning and the end

I’ll get everything I can out of this canelé

The rain will let up soon

Before 8 on the weekend

I wake up first and savor the taste of the morning sun along with your sleeping face

A little longer

Just a little bit longer

This time I have to myself before you awake

I just want to be next to you

Was that wrong of me?

I forced my feeling on you

Now that I think about it,

You didn’t say anything in the end

How much you paid attention to your phone

Was a signal of our demise

The me reflected in your eyes had no shadow

Dissolving into the air and turning to gas

Hot milk and canelé

Your favorite combination

I laugh as you have some even though you’re chewing gum

Casual days

Mundane days

Mornings of the past

I stand at the entrance

Looking at the lack of shoes

I feel paralyzed

My left leg won’t move

I have to go to work

Even though I’ll be late

You would always still be asleep

But I know you’re not here anymore

I can’t reason with my ideals

My memories are pierced by the hands of time

I’m living on by myself

These are wonderful and free days

There’s not much to clean up either

Even hanging out with my friends

We laugh together, yet why?

The canelé has no taste

How long will it continue to fall?

The salty rain
