[Translation] "Tell me why" lyrics

[axmish87]

^^ Thanks for clearing that up
The other song is called Sose Me and i also noticed the similarities in them
that's why i was confused not in the lyrics department but the music and arrangement

[yurai]

Just in case anyone is curious

That's sose me (save me) ^

I think both are beautiful, but I definitely stay with Ayu's tell me why, it made me reflect on past relationships, specially when it says "am I so helpless I can't support you even a little?" (そんなに私は、、、)

When I first heard the song, it sounded like a generic rnb beat, but after a few listens, it's anything but. definitely one of my favorites on the album. LOVE.

Thanks so much

This song is sooo sad. I totally cried. I've been doing this rats long distance (Japan/Sweden) relationship too and I totally get what she's going at here.

oh man, i'm glad i'm not the only one who thinks this! <3

i'm really sorry about the long distance relationship stuff it's never easy, not at all, but i hope that you two can find and have strength<3

i like the idea that this song can actually be about max instead of mannie, or that it's written from mannie's perspective about ayu. i've been going through and doing some quick translations of ayu's songs today and i have this hunch that a lot of what she writes can also be songs that she's writing for herself, speaking as someone else. *shrug* she just strikes me as such a writer, lonely and wanting something like that. "tell me why" kind of fits that concept, i think

but yeah this song is just... sometimes i forget how great the reminds me - Return Road - Tell me why trilogy arc is on the album because I get so hung up on RR, but fjdsklfds IT'S JUST SO AMAZING.

I agree! This trilogy is AMAZING! Honestly, I'm so thankful that I'm NOT in a place in my life right now to relate to these songs, since oddly enough, usually ayu's releases tend to coincide with my life. LOL

Your pain, your doubts, your past

"Doubt" is "utagai", different from "mayoi". I think "waver" (or "hesitation") would be better.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

You guys think THIS song is a song she wrote for her fans...? How so? I don't get that at all.

[Aderianu]

for fans? o_O no way
fans always blame ->her<-

[C+R+E+AYUMI]

an unexpected surprise from this album, thanks for the translation!

I was just reading through the lyrics again and thought maybe not the whole song is from Mannie's POV but some parts where she uses 'Ore' because I just thought it makes sense since she says 'Why do you say all that?' at the end so it could be referring to those instances...idk.

mmm
i've justheard this song and i really liked it but it there is only one problem.
i am from greece and "tell me why" reminds me a greek song, or shoyld i say the refrain is the same!?
it would be great if ayu or her team search songs from over countries!!!!
this is the song if you want to hear it and tell me your opinion

^ that's because they borrowed the melody of the song, but arranged it differently.

[Delirium-Zer0]

Well "bought the asian mechanical & distribution rights to" is more accurate than "borrowed."

And this has come up in the forum before - Ayu's use of the song is completely legal, the songwriters were credited, and some of us (like me) have legally purchased "Sose Me" because of it

I was just so happy when i find out about this!!! Greece doesn;t have that many ayu fans (for now) so i hope more greek people love ayu because of this!!!!
