Hug (Japanese version) by 東方神起: English translation

Here's my English translation of Hug by 東方神起. It's my very own translation; I phrased each line so that it would still match the music (so that you can still sing it), but I tried to stick to the original structure of the Japanese lyrics as much as possible.

It's not final yet, since I'm still revising some lines. :-)

I wanna let you know how I feel about you, oohh baby
But somehow I can't get the courage to say it to you, cannot say a word

I don't know how, can't explain
I can't say it out loud, can't proclaim
Cause it seems like everything's gonna fade away, wow wow

I'm right here with wide open arms
I'm right here entirely for you
Take you in my arms, never let you go
Can't tell you how much I want to

Despite everything that I do
I'm still missing, longing for you
And when I'm with you, I just start to shake
Can't tell you what's in my heart
I love you

If I just wait around, love won't come to me, oh baby
I feel like I'm gonna lose you if I don't do a thing, must show you my love

Right now I feel so anxious
Can you even tell that I'm nervous?
What is your heart feeling, can you let me know? Wow wow

I'm right here with wide open arms
For you and your innocent smile
Wrap you in my arms, never let you go
Can't tell you how much I want to
Always and forever baby
From within your beautiful eyes
Make them shine for me, so that I will be
Born again just because
I love you

In my arms, in my soul
I wanna hold you baby
I know my heart is not lying, really baby
My feelings overflow, I'm drowning in my love
Forever and a day

I'm right here with wide open arms
I'm right here entirely for you
Take you in my arms, never let you go
Can't tell you how much I want to
Don't want us to ever part
Won't let anyone take you from me
Now I realize, I can't let you go
And whisper because baby,
I love you

Here's the original Japanese lyrics of Hug by 東方神起:

この想いを伝えたいのに Ooo baby
なぜか素直に声に出せない、いえないよ

なんとなくだけど
言葉にすることで
なにもかも消えてしまいそうで Wow wow

両手を広げて
キミのそのすべてを
この腕で受けとめて
抱きしめたいんだ

でもまだぼくには
なにかが足りなくて
頼りなく揺れている
いえない想いは
I love
you

愛はきっと移ろうもので Ooo baby
待たせてばかりいたら 必ずなくすから

焦るこの気持ち
気づいてるのかな?
その胸はなにを思ってるの Wow wow

両手を広げて
むじゃきなその笑顔
この腕に包み込み
抱きしめたいんだ
いつも、いつまでも
その瞳の中で
輝いていれるように
生まれ変わるから
I love you

In my arms
In my soul
抱きしめたいんだ
いつわりのないこの心で
あふれていくキミへの想い
止まらない

両手を広げて
キミのそのすべてを
この腕で受けとめて
抱きしめたいんだ
決して離さない
誰にも渡さない
気がつけば抱きよせて
囁いてたんだ
