Arashi - I Want Somebody

Translation Notes: (1): Literally it’s “I just wanted to protect you” but [Japanese] guys often use protect as another word for love. Japanese people often don’t say “I love you” directly and use other words to express the same meaning.
(2): Literally it’s “our season is going around,” which sounds a bit weird in English so I reworded it a bit so it sounds more natural.
(3): The word “dakishimeru” was written in katakana in the lyric booklet and I think that implies more than just embracing someone but I translated it literally but come on, we all know what this song’s really about anyway, right? XD

Translation

I’m walking round in circles namae mo shiranu kimi wo
Sagashiaruita yoru wa tsuki akari sae mabushii
Doko ni kakurete odoru?

[Oh/Ma] So hajimaru Story kimi ga sono kado wo magaru
[Oh/Ma] Oikaketeku mirai ga hitotsu no michi terashiteru
Damatte mo kanjiru kimochi mou nido to aenai kiseki

I want somebody ichido dake meguri aeta guuzen ni
I need somebody kimi wo matteita tada mamoritakatta

[Ai/Ni] Umareta koiki kaze ni notteku
[Ai/Ni] Konya nigasanu you ni kimi no hitomi yakitsuketa
[Oh/Sa/Ma] Kowareta tokei no hari ga unmei no
senaka wo keru

I want somebody tsutaetai kimi no mirai chizu no naka
I need somebody futari no kisetsu mawatteiru kara
I want somebody ichido dake meguri aeta guuzen ni
I need somebody kimi wo matteita tada mamoritakatta

Deai wa guuzen ni mirai wa kono te no naka ni
Kimi no namae kikazu DAKISHIMERU...

I want somebody
I need somebody
I want somebody!

I’m walking round in circles, the night I walked around looking for you
whose name I don’t know, the moonlight’s bright
Where do you hide and dance?

So the story starts, you turn at that corner
The future you’re following shines on one path
Even if you stay silent, I feel like I sense you,
I can’t meet a miracle again

I want somebody, just one time,
I was able to meet you by chance
I need somebody, I waited for you,
I just wanted to love you (1)

[Our] love was born, [it] rides on the wind
So I don’t lose sight of you tonight,
I burned your eyes into my memory
The hands on the broken clock reject our fate

I want somebody, I want to tell you,
your future is on my map I need somebody, [because] our season is here (2)
I want somebody, just one time,
I was able to meet you by chance I need somebody, I waited for you,
I just wanted to love you

Our meeting was by chance, the future is in my hand
Without asking your name, I embrace you...(3)

I want somebody, I want to tell you,
your future is on my map
I need somebody, [because] our season is here
I want somebody, just one time,
I was able to meet you by chance
I need somebody, I waited for you,
I just wanted to love you

I want somebody
I need somebody
I want somebody!
