Memory Seishun no Hikari Memory 青春の光 "Memory, The Light of Youth" Morning Musume. [ morning musume || index ] Memory Seishun no Hikari Regular Edition
  Lyrics: Tsunku 作詞:つんく  
  Nakazawa Yuuko Ishiguro Aya Iida Kaori Abe Natsumi  
Fukuda Asuka Yasuda Kei Yaguchi Mari Ichii Sayaka
Composer: Tsunku 作曲:つんく
Arr.: Maejima Yasuaki 編曲:前島康明
Postscript: Romaji, color-coding & translation by mink.

Underlined name takes the lower/main melody.

Figuring out the harmonies for this song bites, so there may be some discrepancies. The main harmony line to Abe's parts are by Yaguchi, but in the chorus, the background harmony is done by all [the "ah" parts are done by Nakazawa, Ishiguro, and Ichii in general].
S-JIS ROMAJI TRANSLATION
メモは 少し長いけど
でも最後まで 読んでよ ねぇ
一人ぼっちが 淋しいなんて
知らなかったわ

全部 砕け散った あの夜に
思いきり泣いてGood bye
疲れきった 恋愛に
この部屋のカギをつけて返すわ

さようなら (Just Breaking My Heart)
二度とそんな顔なんて 見たくない
さようなら (Just Breaking My Heart)
愛した人

メモは 破って捨てていいよ
でも最後まで 読んでよ ねぇ
あんな やさしく 抱かれたのは
初めてだった

メモリー 去って行くけど
新しい 彼女の事
私の様に愛さないで
Good bye… Good bye… Good bye… 

ほんの ちょっとした きっかけで
長く 続いた方ね 二人
ふざけあった 時間だけ
知らない間にどんどんスキになってた

さようなら (Just Breaking My Heart)
二度と出会う事なんて ないんでしょう
さようなら (Just Breaking My Heart)
二人の部屋

メモは 少し長いけど
でも最後まで 読んでよ ねぇ
一人ぼっちが 淋しいなんて
知らなかったわ

メモリー 私のメモリー
別れるのが つらい事
あなた愛して 学んだわ
Good bye… Good bye… Good bye… 

メモは 破って捨てていいよ
でも最後まで 読んでよ ねぇ
あんな やさしく 抱かれたのは
初めてだった

メモリー 去って行くけど
新しい 彼女の事
私の様に愛さないで
Good bye… Good bye… Good bye… 

Good bye… Good bye…
Good bye… Good bye…

The memo's a bit long
But please read it all the way to the end
I didn't realize how lonesome
It is to be alone

That night when everything broke apart
I cried with all my heart... Good bye
Exhausted by love,
I'll lock up this room and return the key to you

Goodbye (Just breaking my heart)
I don't want to see that face ever again
Goodbye (Just breaking my heart)
The one I loved

You can crumple the memo and throw it away
But please read it all the way to the end
I've never been held
that affectionately before

I'm leaving my memories behind, but
Don't love your new girlfriend
In the same way you loved me
Goodbye... goodbye... goodbye...

With a little bit of chance
We really did last a long time, didn't we?
Just in the time we spent fooling around
I found myself falling in love with you

Goodbye (Just breaking my heart)
We won't meet ever again
Goodbye (Just breaking my heart)
To our room

The memo's a bit long
But please read all the way to the end
I didn't realize how lonesome
It is to be alone

Memories, my memories
It's hard to part with them
I learned that from loving you
Goodbye... goodbye... goodbye...

You can crumple the memo and throw it away
But please read it all the way to the end
I've never been held
that affectionately before

I'm leaving my memories behind, but
Don't love your new girlfriend
In the same way you loved me
Goodbye... goodbye... goodbye...

Goodbye... goodbye...
Goodbye... goodbye...
