Song Lyrics - Yubiwa
Original Japanese Lyrics | English Lyrics

Namidaga atokara afuredashite
Saigono egaoga nijinde mienaino
Ikanaide ikanaide kokoni ite
Sora e hikari kakenukete iku

Konnani chiisana watashi dakedo
Anata wo dareyori seiippai aishita
Arigatou ikutsumono taisetsuna kimochi
Tewatashite kuretayone

Sonnatoki zutto watashiwa
Kiekaketa hikoki-kumo wo miteita

Wasurenaide hitorijanai
Hanaretemo te wo tsunaideiru
Hajimeteno koi hajimete shitta
Konna kanahimiga arukoto

Nanikaga shoumetsushitemo nanikaga futatabi yadotte

Wakareni kureta hohoemiwa tsuyoku ikiyou to iu
Anatakarano messeji

Itsu kitto aeru futari naraba
Tookutemo hitomi mitsume au
Kibouto yumeno subete wo kakete
Yakusoku wo shiyou yo
Anohino hageshisa wo daite
Ashita saku mirai wo ikiru

Afterward, tears started to overflow
I could not see the last smile because of the blur
Don't go, don't go, stay here
Run past the light and ascend to the sky

Even though I am such a small thing
I loved you more than anyone
Thanks for your many endearing thoughts
Which you gave to me

At that time I was
Watching the gradually disappearing contrail

Don't forget, you are not alone
Even though we are far apart, we are together
I found I fell in love for the very first time
I learned the depth of sadness

When something is lost, something else replaces it

The memory of your parting smile gives me strength to live
A message from you

Surely we will meet again
And from a distance will recognize each other in a glance
In all our hopes and dreams
Let's make this promise
Clinging to the strong memory of that day
I can look forward and live
