Mamoritai

Doshaburi no ame no naka kimi ga boku wo matte ita

In the pouring rain you were waiting for me

Popura no nureta midori kodou ni yurete ita

Swaying in the poplars' drenched green heartbeat

[Hanikanda] toiki-tachi kokoro uchiake atta

(With shy) sighs our feelings were revealed

Mune no oku fukai basho taiyou ga sashikomu

The sun shone into the depths of my heart

Machi ga kagayaki-dasu

The town began to shine

Donna toki mo Donna toki mo Ore ga tsuite 'ru yo

Whenever, whenever -- I'll be with you

Arifurete 'ru kotoba dakedo

They're just commonplace words, but

[Hitomi sorasazu] kiite hoshii

I want you to listen to me

Donna toki mo Donna toki mo Ore ga tsuite 'ru yo

Whenever, whenever -- I'll be with you

Mukai kaze ni kami wo yurasu

Your hair is waved by the wind

Hitori-kiri no kimi wo mamoru yo

You alone -- I'll protect you

Surechigau unmei ga futari wo toriko ni shita

Passing destinies took the two of us captive

Tsugi-tsugi ni tozasareru DOA wo tataki-tsuzuketa

One after another, we knocked on the doors that kept us apart

Adokenai yubisaki ga nijinda sora no kanata

(With) innocent fingertips (on the) other side of the blurred sky

Hito-suji no niji wo egaku nana-iro no sasayaki

One line's rainbow is drawn a whisper of seven colors

Kumo ga nagarete yuku

The clouds are drifting

Daijoubu sa Daijoubu sa Ore ga tsuite 'ru yo

It's all right, it's all right. I'll be with you

Tsuyogari na sono hitomi no hikari wo terasu hoshi ni naru yo

The light illuminated in those strong eyes becomes a star

Daijoubu sa Daijoubu sa Ore ga tsuite 'ru yo

It's all right, it's all right. I'll be with you

Hito-shizuku no yuuki wo himete

I'll keep your one drop of courage a secret

Hitori-kiri no kimi wo mamoru yo

You alone -- I'll protect you

Donna toki mo Donna toki mo Ore ga tsuite 'ru yo

Whenever, whenever -- I'll be with you

Mukai kaze ni kami wo yurasu

Your hair is waved by the wind

Hitori-kiri no kimi wo mamoru yo

You alone -- I'll protect you

Notes: This, of course, is Kazuya's song to Igarashi. *sniff* He's just so sweet.
Don't you wish *your* second boyfriend had been that nice? I do.

Speaking of Igarashi, I can't help but think of her and Tenma every time I hear
that Vertical Horizon song "Everything You Want". ("He says all the right things/
at exactly the right time/ but he means nothing to you/ and you don't know why")

As always, I'm assuming the words in (). I don't understand what's in [].

"Mukai kaze" means "head wind", but I thought "Your hair is waving in the head
wind" sounded fairly ridiculous.

"Hitori-kiri" means "one person by himself" and is used to modify "kimi" (the
familiar form of "you") to imply that Igarashi is alone. I can't quite fit the same
nuance into the line in English. It's really more like "I'll protect lonely you" but
that sounds sarcastic, and Kazuya is very sincere. That's why we love him!
