Translating again
....Why do I do this? XD;
Anyway.
Another song! And possibly more, I'll edit this entry if I do them.

Hey, what do you think kindness is?
I think I've come to understand it a bit.
I'm sure that if I tried to give it to you,
It would shatter into pieces.
Hey, even if I try to live for your sake
I end up living for myself.
The truth is, I only made you laugh
Because I wanted to laugh, myself.
I'm sorry.
I just want people to think well of me.
I'm just pushing myself.
It's not kindness. I wish it could be.
I don't know how to change it.
Hey, inside of my heart there's nothing--
There's nothing but things for myself.
I want to share the things that aren't that way, but
There's only me, wanting to share.
Hey, what do you think kindness is?
Just now, I've come to understand it.
I'm sure it's something I got from you,
Without you knowing it.
You probably don't remember.
I just want everyone to think well of me.
I'm just trying to sell myself.
It's not kindness. I wish it could be.
I'm the worst.
Maybe I've gone crazy;
No, no, I think I've just become sane.
My wish is something that can't be wished for:
To be there for you without knowing that I am.
Ah, yeah, I've realized it without saying anything.
I'm thinking a little too much.
Thank you.
Because you laughed for me, I laughed, too.
Hey, I know what kindness is.
It's something that's received without being given.
I'm sure it exists within a heart that people share.
I'm talking to myself.
I just want you to think well of me.
I'm just pushing myself.
It's not kindness. It can't be.
I don't think I want it to be.
Because it's something that's impossible alone,
Because it exists between people.
It doesn't belong to either of them;
It has no name.
That's what I'd like to encounter.
Hey, what do you think kindness is?
It's all right not to think about it any more.
The truth is, it's something we created
Without knowing it
Because the two of us met.
I love this song. A lot. I really, really hope I did it justice.
Anyway.
Another song! And possibly more, I'll edit this entry if I do them.
