Namida Ga Afureta

Namida Ga Afureta ("The Tears Overflowed") is a relatively rare piece of music that serves as 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.

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
