Gomen nasai, Gomen nasai
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Watashi ga shitte itara
If I had known
Koreha kesshite hajima ranakarou
This never would have begun
Gomen nasai, Gomen nasai
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Watashi wo kudasai nasai
Please forgive me
Utsukushi i tanin niyotteha, soe watash ga miryou shita
Beautiful stranger, that has captivated me

This makes me with I could hear it spoken, in both languages. There is an enviable simplicity (NOT simple-mindedness) in both message and poetry. The last line is particularly powerful, shifting the piece from a traditional poem about lost love to something much more intriguing, dramatic, powerful. Well done.
