I've worked up some better english lyrics to fit it and complement the beauty of the song while staying fairly true to the japanese. I noticed that "ma-assugu ni" rhymes with "stra-aight through to me." She seems to make an extra syllable out of the ss in "mas-ss-su-gu na" in the beginning so the five syllables of "Straightforward and sure" would fit in there and "though your heart may be-e" would fit in the space of "kimi no kokoro"...tell me what you think.

Straightforward and sure though your heart may be,

Know that it will come straight through to me.

Tormented, confused though your heart may be,

Know that it will come straight through to me.



And on the way home, from dusk to evening,

We spend our own time together.

And sometimes I get an awkward feeling,
