Original / Romaji Lyrics
English Translation
Ate mo naku samayotte ita Tegakari mo naku sagashi tsuzuketa Anata ga kureta omoide o Kokoro o iyasu uta ni shite
I was wandering without a destination I continued to search without any clues Making the memories you gave to me into a song to heal my heart
Yakusoku mo suru koto mo naku Kawasu kotoba mo kimetari mo sezu Dakishime soshite tashikameta Hibi wa nido to kaeranu
The days when, without making any promises, without exchanging words or consciously deciding, you embraced me and sought me out; those days will never return
Kioku no naka no te o furu anata wa Watashi no na o yobu koto ga dekiru no
The you who touches my hand within my memories can still call out my name
Afureru sono namida o Kagayaku yuuki ni kaete Inochi wa tsuzuku Yoru o koe Utagau koto no nai ashita e to tsuzuku
Change those flowing tears into shining courage Life goes on, continuing beyond the night into a tomorrow which has never been doubted.
Tobu tori no mukou no sora e Ikutsu no kioku azuketa darou Hakanai kibou mo yume mo Todokanu basho ni wasurete
I wonder how many memories have been left to the sky beyond the flying birds while forgetting even fleeting hopes and dreams in an unreachable place
Meguriau no wa guuzen to ieru no Wakareru toki ga kanarazu kuru no ni
How can you say that happening upon each other was a coincidence, even when the time for us to part will surely come?
Kieyuku unmei demo Kimi ga ikite iru kagiri Inochi wa tsuzuku Eien ni Sono chikara no kagiri doko made mo
Even though I am fated to fade away, as long as you are alive life will go on for eternity; all the way to the limits of that strength.
Watashi ga shinou tomo Kimi ga ikite iru kagiri Inochi wa tsuzuku Eien ni Sono chikara no kagiri doko made mo tsuzuku
Even if I were to die, as long as you are alive, life will go on for eternity; all the way to the limits of that strength
