**Japanese**

白い靴が泥だらけでも
公園のブランコ 秘密の子猫
日暮れまで遊んで あなたの呼ぶ声
夕飯のにおいと伸びてゆく影

誰より一番 大きな背中
世界中で一番 優しい その手
疲れてたくせして 肩車なんてね
触れるほど 夕陽が近くに見えた

思い出は奇麗だ 憧れがあった
ひとりでに零れたのは あなたゆずりの癖

日曜の朝 焦げたトースト
床に落ちたシャツにママが笑う
月曜日になったら誰より強くて
二人乗りしたよね 錆びた自転車

思い出は奇麗で 憧れてたんだ
ひとりでに零れたのは あなたゆずりの癖

もう少しだけでも
あと少しだけでも
そばにいれたなら何を伝えたろう?

さようなら ありがとう
愛されてたんだ
ありふれた言葉しか
出てこなかったんだ


**English Translation**

Even though my white shoes were covered in mud
The park's swing, my secretly keep kitten
Played until dusk I heard your voice calling me
The tasty smell of dinner and the stretching shadows

Your back was far broader than anyone
Your hands were the gentlest in the world
You seemed so tired but still gave me a ride on shoulders
Even sunset looked so close, that I thought I can touch it

My memories are so beautiful
And I've always been longing for them
Here I am, crying by myself
Because it's an inheritance habit of yours

Sunday morning, burnt toast
Mom was laughing over the shirt that fell to the floor
And once it has become Monday, You pedalled hard than anyone ever while riding me on the back of your rusted bicycle

My memories are so beautiful
And I've always been longing for them
Here I am, crying by myself
Because it's an inheritance habit of yours

Just for a bit longer
For a bit longer
If I could stay by your side
I wonder, what should I say?

Farewell
Thank you
For all your love

That's all the common words
I could say to you

Aimer

Aimer (エメ Eme, [eme]) is a Japanese pop singer and lyricist signed to SME Records and managed by FOURseam. Her name comes from the verb “Aimer” in French which means “to love”.

Aimer grew up around music and has a strong music background. Her father is a bassist in a band and she began studying piano in elementary school. She held Ringo Sheena and Utada Hikaru up to be her role models. In her years of junior high, Avril Lavigne inspired her to study guitar and begin writing English lyrics. At the age of fifteen, Aimer lost her voice due to the over-usage of her vocal chords, prompting her to undergo silence therapy to treat her condition. Fortunately, she recovered and the incident resulted in acquiring her signature husky voice.

Aimer started her career with a group called Agehasprings to collaborate on writing, producing and distributing music to various artists, including Yuki, Mika Nakashima, Flumpool, Superfly, Yuzu and Genki Rockets. She released her first album in May 2011 titled “Your favorite things” comprised of various genres like jazz and country western music. Though, Aimer went on to provide a signature genre of pop rock under her name, with her songs being featured in Japanese animes.
