Namida Ga Afureta

The cover art for the single Ai no Uta

Namida Ga Afureta ("The Tears Overflowed") is a relatively rare piece of music that feature on the b-side of the single Ai no Uta by Strawberry Flower. While the lyrics to Ai no Uta focused primarily on the Pikmin and their conveyance of unconditional love toward Captain Olimar during his quest to return home, Namida Ga Afureta is phrased more from Olimar's perspective of the Pikmin as well as how he feels about them - which in turn seems difficult for him to express. In this song, the sorrowful space captain deeply regrets never telling the Pikmin that he loved them before departing back to his home planet of Hocotate.

涙があふれた　涙があふれた
君のこと好きと言えずに
ごめん

夜空がにじんだ　夜空がにじんだ
君のこと好きと言えずに
ごめん

難しい言葉なら考えつくけど
容易い言葉の方が言えないって思う

ため息をついた　ため息をついた
君のこと好きと言えずに
ごめん

星屑が落ちた　星屑が落ちた
君のこと好きと言えずに
ごめん

難しい言葉なら考えつくけど
容易い言葉の方が言えないって思う

涙があふれた　涙があふれた
涙があふれた　涙があふれた

こんなことも言えないで　
ごめん

English translation

The tears overflowed
The tears overflowed
And I didn't say that I loved you
I'm sorry

The starry sky blurred
The starry sky blurred
And I didn't say that I loved you
I'm sorry

I can come up with complex words
But I don't think that I can even say simple ones

I let out a sigh
I let out a sigh
And I didn't say that I loved you
I'm sorry

Stardust fell
Stardust fell
And I didn't say that I loved you
I'm sorry

I can come up with complex words
But I don't think that I can even say simple ones

The tears overflowed
The tears overflowed
The tears overflowed
The tears overflowed

I'm sorry for
Not saying something like this
