English translation (Revised version/2nd draft)

"You only know one true part of me"
I don't really mind if you laugh at me triumphantly like that

That deep voice that I seem to have heard before I was born
That's just a side story of my life I have to get used to

Even though it's impossible to know everything
Why do we persist and want to conquer anything
Striving for perfection (In a frenzy)
Nevertheless, the key to loving me fully, having one is enough

Assuming if that is one true part of you
It is most certainly, clearly my favourite part for sure
(Whatever it is)
In trouble times, I see you strain your eyebrows a little
And when embracing you, it's like you're softening up

If I obtained all of my dreams
You wouldn't notice again, would you?
What I need is not a yes or no to be said
A overwhelming touch (Ah, you are the one)
Nevertheless, the key to loving me fully, having one is enough

Only things you would know (I can't tell)
Only things I could see (Never know)
Both are the truth

Everything is part of something
We don't realize it
If you found a worthy reason
Don't ever lose it (Ah, you are the one)
Nevertheless, the key to loving me fully, having one is enough
Nevertheless, just that is enough

English translation (first draft)

"You only know one true part of me"
If you laugh triumphantly
I don't want that

That deep voice that I seem to have heard before I was born
That's just life's lesson that you have to get used to

Even though it's impossible to know everything
Why do we persist and want to conquer anything
Striving for perfection (In a frenzy)
Nevertheless, loving one part of me is enough

Assuming if that is one true part of you
It is most certainly, clearly my favourite part for sure
(Whatever it is)
In trouble times, wiggling your eyebrows a little
When embracing you, it's like you're softening up

If I obtained all of my dreams
You wouldn't notice again, would you?
What I need is not a yes or no to be said
A overwhelming touch (Ah, you are the one)
Nevertheless, loving one part of me is enough

Only things you would know (I can't tell)
Only things I could see (Never know)
Either is the truth

Everything is part of something
We don't realize it
If you found a worthy reason
Don't ever lose it (Ah, you are the one)
Nevertheless, loving one part of me is enough
And just that is enough

Kanji

「アナタは私のほんのイチブしか知らない」
勝ち誇るように笑われても　それほどイヤじゃないよ
生まれてくる前　聞いたようなその深い声
それだけで人生のオカズになれるくらいです

すべて知るのは到底無理なのに
僕らはどうして
あくまでなんでも征服したがる
カンペキを追い求め（血眼で）
愛しぬけるポイントがひとつありゃいいのに

もしそれが君のほんのイチブだとしても
何よりも確実にはっきり好きなところなんだ
（何が何でも）
困った時　少しまゆげを曲げてみせたり
抱きよせるとホッとするような柔らかさだったり

すべて掴んだつもりになれば
また傷つくだろう
ほんとに要るのは有無を言わせない
圧倒的な手ざわり (Ah, you are the one)
愛しぬけるポイントがひとつありゃいいのに

君にしかわからないこと(I can't tell)
僕だけが見えていること(Never know)
どれもホントのこと

すべて何かのイチブってことに
僕らは気づかない
愛しい理由(わけ)を見つけたのなら
もう失わないで(Ah, you are the one)
愛しぬけるポイントがひとつありゃいいのに
それだけでいいのに

Anata wa watashi no honno ichibu shika shiranai
