Translyrics for Eve's 名前も知らないあなたに恋をした (I fell in love with you without even knowing your name). I thought the song was so cute and fun and silly, I really wanted to try my hand at some lyrics! They're under the cut and my commentary is in the tags :3

A late-night restaurant, always in the same seat over there and

Smoking a cigarette, I see it rise and run through your hair.

Oh, what to do? I look at you and feel my heart race.

"Not much to look at, huh," you say while gazing into my face.

Pajamas on and I'm always in the same seat over here, with

Coffee, two scoops of milk, I sip it and I try not to stare.

Oh, what to do? Every line I have sounds way too cliche.

"Let's stick together, huh?" Is all that I could say.

No, I don't know your name, but I fell in love with you the same.

A late-night restaurant, you're here each day each month each week and

Smoking a cigarette, I see it trail and trace on your cheek.

Oh, what to do? I look at you and feel my heart race.

"Not much to look at, huh," you say while gazing into my face.

I bet you like me too,  I tell myself but without success, and

I remind myself it's crazy, it's crazy, it's crazy, it's crazy, it's --

Oh, what to do? It's time to clear my heart and my head.

"You know you're beautiful," is what I finally said.

No, I don't know your name, but I fell in love with you the same.

Begging on my knees, answer me please!

No, I don't know your name, but I fell in love with you the same.

#eve #lyrics #i do love a song with a good boing sound effect..... #kinda went off on a different vibe for the 'begging on my knees' line but it was tough getting the rhyme/emphasis to line up #so i played around with a ton of possible close-but-different sentiments #the rhythm is a but funky - i used more enjambment than i usually like for lyrics but it fits the vibe for this one ya know? #like someone going off on one long rambly sentence stopping to take a breath mid-'and' #im impressed with how effortlessly he sings the 'dameda' repetition -- that shits hard 😭 #i had 'craziness' but it didnt flow nicely so i think this works better? i still dont fully articulate 'crazy' because its too quick but #thats what makes it fun 😂 #i didnt end up singing this one because it lines up pretty intuitively i think (and has a lot of repetition lmao) #though if anyone wants to cover it and does need a reference lmk 👍
