Tegomasu – Kimi + Boku = LOVE? Lyrics + Translation!

For the past few months, I’ve been wondering when the heck they’re going to release the single for the Lovely Complex anime OP. Sure, the ED has been out for about a month and a half, but why doesn’t the OP get some love? Then I realized the OP was also on the ED single. Oops.

So I figured I’d transcribe and translate the song, since I really like it. Hey, it’s Japanese ska! This one was kind of easy, since the Japanese lyrics are actually included in the OP on the bottom of the screen. I only had to figure out a few of the lyrics in the extended version.

As usual, my translations might be a loose or wrong, or both, so take these with a grain of salt. If you have any suggestions or comments, please let leave a comment below. Anyway, here we go!

Lyrics in Kanji and Hiragana:
君の事どう思うか？　ってさ
「別に嫌いじゃない」なんて言ったら
もしかして泣いてる？　あらっ
かわいいかもしれない

走り去ろうとした　てを握ったら
胸の奥のなにか　きゅうに騒ぎ出した

恋愛の教科書が　あればいいな
わからない問題が　ありすぎて
恋愛の先生が　いればいいな
キミ＋ボク＝ラブ　になりますか？

好きな子はいないのか？ってさ
「明るい子がいいな？」　なんて言ったら
いっぱいの笑顔で、あらっ
眩しいかもしれない

目を閉じる旅　キミが浮かんで
胸の奥でなにが　もっと騒ぎ出した

恋愛の教科書があればいいな
人一倍どんかんなボクだから、
恋愛の先生が　いればいいな
１＋１＝ラブになるかな？

恋愛の教科書が　あればいいな
わからない問題が　ありすぎて
恋愛の先生が　いればいいな
キミ＋ボク＝ラブ　になるかな？

恋愛の教科書があればいいな
人一倍どんかんなボクだから、
恋愛の先生が　いればいいな
１＋１＝ラブになるかな？
キミ＋ボク＝ラブ　になりますか？

Lyrics in Romaji:
kimi no koto dou omouka? tte sa
betsu ni kirai ja nai nante ittara
moshikashite naiteru? ara
kawaii kamoshirenai

hashiri sarou toshita te wo nigittara
mune no oku no nanika kyuu ni sawaru dashita

rennai no kyoukasho ga areba ii na
wakaranai mondai ga arisugite
rennai no sensei ga ireba ii na
kimi + boku = love ni narimasuka?

suki na ko wa inai no ka? tte sa
akarui ko ga ii na? nante ittara
ippai no egao de, ara
mabushii kamoshirenai

me wo tojiru tabi kimi ga ukande
mune no oku de nanika motto sawagi dashita

rennai no kyoukasho ga areba iina
hitoichibai donkan na boku dakara
rennai no sensei ga ireba iina
1 + 1 = love ni naru kana?

rennai no kyoukasho ga areba iina
wakaranai mondai ga arisugite
rennai no sensei ga ireba ii na
kimi + boku = love ni naru kana?

rennai no kyoukasho ga areba iina
hitoichibai donkan na boku dakara
rennai no sensei ga ireba iina
1 + 1 = love ni naru kana?
kimi + boku = love ni narimasuka?

Lyrics in English (Translation by Hung):
What do I think about you, you ask?
I’d say, “I don’t hate you or anything”
Hey, have you been crying? Umm…
I guess you can be kind of cute.

As you begin to run away, I grab your hand
and there’s a sudden stirring in my heart

Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a textbook on love?
There are so many problems that I don’t understand.
Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a love teacher?
Does You + Me = Love?

“Is there a girl you like?” you ask
I’d say “Cheerful girls are nice, right?”
And with big smiles, oh,
You could be dazzling too.

In my mind’s eye, you come to mind
and again my heart begins to stir

Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a textbook on love?
Because I’m a lot more dense than most people.
Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a love teacher?
Doesn’t 1 + 1 = Love?

Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a textbook on love?
There are so many problems that I don’t understand.
Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a love teacher?
Could You + Me = Love?

Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a textbook on love?
Because I’m a lot more dense than most people.
Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a love teacher?
Doesn’t 1 + 1 = Love?
Couldn’t You + Me = Love?
