Have been wanting to do more Awoi songs, and this one was a welcome distraction. Without further ado~
The kanji are from the 葵/Aoi booklet, romaji and translation is done by me. Notes are as usual to be found at the of the post.

哀しい歌
あなたとよく行った梅田の陸橋の上で、今日も誰かの歌が泣いている。
雑踏に消えそうなその寂しげな歌に耳を傾け、涙流す夜の街。
別れは突然の夕立のようでした。
いつもと同じ喧嘩だって思ってた。
だけど私何故か許してあげなかった。
気紛れの強がりで愛は死にました。
私、本当はあなたがいなきゃダメなのに…。
今は後悔、手首に傷を増やす日々。
死にたい…なんて思った事はないけれど
これから一人で生きてく事が耐えきれない程不安なだけなの。
本当は強くなんてない寂しがり屋の女です。
死ねる勇気はないけれど、生きる勇気もありません。
私、本当はあなたがいなきゃダメなのに…。
今は後悔、手首に傷を増やす日々。
死にたい…なんて思った事はないけれど
これから一人で生きてく事が耐えきれない程不安なだけなの。
私はもう悲劇のヒロインにさえもなれない程に
弱過ぎて馬鹿過ぎてどうしようもない。
哀しい歌がずっと、いつまでもいつまでもずっと聞こえてくるよ。
電車のホーム、誰かに背中を押された気がした。

Sad Song [0]
Over Umeda's viaduct where I often went with you, also today someone's song is crying.
Leaning my ear towards the lonely seeming song that seems to vanish in the hustle, tear-shedding nightly streets.
Our parting was like a sudden evening shower.
I thought it was the same quarrel as always.
But for some reason, I couldn't forgive you. [1]
With a fickle show of courage, love died. [2]
Me, the truth is, for all that, without you I'm useless… .
Now I regret it, days that increase the wounds in my wrists.
I want to die… I didn't think things like that, though [3]
It's just that I'm anxious about going to be living alone from here to an extent that is too much to take.
The truth is, I'm not someone who is strong, I'm a woman who easily succumbs to loneliness.
I don't have the courage to be able to die, but I don't have the courage to live, either.
Me, the truth is, for all that, without you I'm useless… .
Now I regret it, days that increase the wounds in my wrists.
I want to die… I didn't think things like that, though [see 3]
It's just that I'm anxious about going to be living alone from here to an extent that is too much to take.
While I can't even become the heroine of a tragedy anymore
I'm too weak, I'm too stupid, there's no helping it.
The sad song will always, forever and forever, always going to be audible.
On the platform of the train, I got this feeling like somebody pushed my back.

[0] Female PoV
[1] Literally it's not about being able to forgive or not, what he says is more a "I didn't give you forgiving you".
[2] 'Show of courage'/'Pretense to be tough'
[3] This might be redundant, but he repeats I want to die I want to die I want to die a... couple of times.
