カフェラッテ (Cafe Latte)

==Lyrics==
Japanese 	Romaji 	English
甘くて苦い　この気持ちは 	amakute nigai kono kimochi wa 	Sweet, yet bitter; these feelings are
カップに踊る　カフェラッテ 	kappu ni odoru kaferatte 	dancing in my cup—it's a Café LatteWhile reading this song in Japanese, the metaphor between the Latte and the blooming relationship is very apparent and great to listen to. Unfortunately, doing a direct translation doesn't make this comparison very apparent in English, so I added in a couple words to these lines to help those reading the translation understand more easily what Void meant by the song.
ユラユラ揺れる　思いはすぐに 	yurayura yureru omoi wa sugu ni 	Mixing them both up, they'll soonYurayura (written here as ユラユラ) is normally written like ゆらゆら and is an onomatopoeia for swaying to and fro, or rolling side to side. Another note here is that 'to mix' (Mazeru, 混ぜる) isn't used here, it literally just says “to and fro, swaying”. There is no real equivalent onomatopoeia in English that would represent this idea well, but since it's just trying to give you the idea that you're mixing a drink (a latte in this case), I used the word 'to mix'.
溶けてひとつに 	tokete hitotsu ni 	melt into one
 	 	
そして　きっと　いつか　ふたりはずっと… 	soshite kitto itskua futari wa zutto… 	And surely one day, the two of us will always be...
 	 	
晴れた日　燦々光る太陽が照らしてるのは 	hareta hi sansan hikaru taiyou ga terashiteru no wa	On this beautiful day, the sun's bright rays shine onThis line literally says “sunny day” or “clear day”. I didn't say 'sunny' to avoid repetition, and I didn't say 'clear' because it's a fairly neutral statement. To keep with the upbeat and happy vibe of the song, I chose 'beautiful' as the word.
二人で入ったカフェ 	futari de haitta kafe 	us as we enter the café
いつもはココアだけど　少しだけ背伸びをして 	itsumo wa kokoa dakedo sukoshi dake senobi o shite 	Normally, I always get cocoa, but since I've grown a little
ちがうもの　頼んでみよう 	chigau mono tanonde miyou 	I'll ask for something different
 	 	
エスプレッソじゃ　ちょっと苦すぎる 	esupuresso ja chotto nigasugiru 	Espresso is maybe a little too bitter...
決めた！　これにしちゃうぞ！ 	kimeta! kore ni shichau zo! 	Oh, I know! I'll go with this!
 	 	
甘くて苦い　この気持ちは 	amakute nigai kono kimochi wa 	Sweet yet bitter; these feelings are
カップに踊る　カフェラッテ 	kappu ni odoru kaferatte 	dancing in my cup—it's a Café Latte!
ユラユラ揺れる　思いはすぐに 	yurayura yureru omoi wa sugu ni 	Mixing them both up, they'll soon
溶けてひとつに 	tokete hitotsu ni 	melt into one
 	 	
伝えたいのに　伝えたくない 	tsutaetai noni tsutaetaku nai 	I want to tell you, but I don't want to tell you
微妙なこころ　カフェラッテ 	bimyou na kokoro kaferatte 	My heart is stuck between the two, like this Café LatteBimyou na kokoro (微妙なこころ), was interesting to translate, as it could mean a couple different things. Bimyou (微妙), normally means subtle/delicate/sensitive, which could work with kokoro (こころ/心,heart), but Bimyou (微妙) could also be used to describe a difficult or complicated thing, like a 'delicate situation'. Furthermore, Bimyou (微妙) can also be used in a slang sense to mean sorta, in between, yes and no, or not sure (though is normally written as ビミョ when done so). Taking clues from other parts of the song, and because Void used many opposites in this song (and one even right before this line), I figured it was the slang meaning of being both at the same time.
キラキラ光る　あなたの笑顔 	kirakira hikaru anata no egao 	Sparkling and shining, your smile
眩しすぎるわ 	mabushisugiru wa 	is just so bright
 	 	
そして　きっと　いつか　ふたりはずっと… 	soshite kitto itsuka futari wa zutto… 	And surely one day, the two of us will always be...
 	 	
窓際の４人テーブル　あなたは廊下側 	madogiwa no yonin teeburu anata wa roukagawa 	Our four-person table sits next to the window with you on the corridor side
私はいつも斜め向かい 	watashi wa itsumo naname mukai 	and myself diagonally opposite, as always
目と目がうまく合わせられない 	me to me ga umaku awaserarenai 	It's hard to look at you eye to eyeThis line more literally says “Eye and eye cannot join together well”. It doesn't use the verb 'to look', but it sounds much better to say so in English.
すごくすごくあなたを思ってるのに 	sugoku sugoku anata o omotteru noni 	even though I'm really, really thinking about you.
 	 	
通りを歩く恋人達が 	toori o aruku koibitotachi ga 	I'm a little jealous of
少しうらやましいぞ！ 	sukoshi urayamashii zo! 	the couples walking down the street!
 	 	
近づきそうで　近づけない 	chikazukisou de chikazukenai 	It seems like we're becoming more intimate, or maybe not really
曖昧な距離　カフェラッテ 	aimai na kyori kaferatte 	I'm unsure of how close we are, like this Café Latte
フワフワ浮かぶ　泡はまるで 	fuwafuwa ukabu awa wa marude 	This fluffy floating foam
あなたのようね 	anata no you ne 	is just like you
 	 	
黒から白へ　白から黒 	kuro kara shiro e shiro kara kuro 	The black turns into white; the white becomes black
あなたへ染まる　カフェラッテ 	anata e somaru kaferatte 	You're dyed the same way, like this Café Latte
クルクルまわる　ワタシもいつか 	kurukuru mawaru watashi mo itsuka 	Spinning round and round; someday I'llKuruKuru (クルクル) is an onomatopoeia for spinning around and is used for smaller things or objects. It's sister word is GuruGuru (ぐるぐる) and is used for larger objects.
あなたに溶ける 	anata ni tokeru 	melt into you too
 	 	
そして　きっと　いつか　ふたりはずっと… 	soshite kitto itsuka futari wa zutto… 	And surely one day, the two of us will always be...
 	 	
（甘くて苦い） 	(amakute nigai) 	(Sweet yet bitter)
