nigirishimeta te wo hodoita nara
tabun kore de subete ga ima owatte shimau
 
If the tightly gripped hand were loosened,
Probably, with this, everything would now be completely over.
 
shiritakatta koto kizutsuku koto sae mo
nani hitotsu yari nokoshite mama de
 
The things I wanted to know, even the things that hurt,
Not a single thing would be left like that. 
 
anata ga deau shiawase wo negaitai hazu na no ni
dekinai mijuku na jibun ni fuite mo namida ga deru
 
I should wish for you to meet with happiness, but
My unwilling, immature self wipes it away, the tears begin.
 
sayonara
aishiteru  anata wo dare yori
sora yori mo fukaku
nakanaide
mata aou ne
demo aenai koto watashi dake shitte iru no
 
Good bye
I love you. You more than anyone.
Even more deeply than the sky.
Don't cry,
We'll meet again, right?
But not being able to see you, it's something only I know.
 
konna unmei wo eranda koto
itsuka anata ni mo honto no imi ga wakaru wa
 
Having chosen this kind of fate,
Someday, you too will understand what it really means.
 
futari tsukutta kioku no takara
zutto kokoro no kakurega de ikiteku yo
 
We have made a treasure of memories,
That will live forever in a hidden part of our hearts.
 
kirei goto da to omotteta kibou to iu kotoba wo
kurushii kurai dakishimete  anata wo miageteiru
 
I thought it so beautiful, the word called "hope",
Embracing almost painfully, looking up at you.
 
arigatou
aishiteru  anata wo dare yori
yume yori mo tsuyoku
dakishimete hanasanaide
dakedo hito koto mo tsutaerarenaide...
 
Thank you.
I love you. You more than anyone.
Even stronger than dreams.
Hold me. Don't let go.
But please don't tell me one more thing...
 
nakanaide  aishiteru
tooku hanaretete mo
anata to ikite yukeru
 
Don't cry. I love you.
Even being separated far away from you,
I can go on living my life with you.
