Lyrics

Japanese pronunciation
English translation
ああ そんな に 眩しい 目 で
Ah sonna ni mabushii me de
Ah, with such dazzling eyes
みつめないで
mitsumenaide
don’t look at me
昔 会った 頃 とは もう ちがってる 私達
mukashi atta koro niwa mou chigatteru watashitachi
We are different from the time we’ve met
ああ いろんな こと が あった 離れて から
Ah ironna koto ga atta hanarete kara
Ah many things happened after we parted
口 に 出して 言わなく ても
kuchi ni dashite iwanaku temo
Even though we don’t put it in words
微笑み 合えた なら いい の
hohoemi aeta nara ii no
it would be enough if we could smile at each other
満ち 欠ける 月 の ように
michi-kakeru tsuki no youni
Like waxing and waning of the moon
日々 に 姿 が 変わっても
hibi ni sugata ga kawattemo
Even though the figure changes as the day passes
いつも あなた だけ は
itsumo anata dake wa
only you could always
私 の こと わかる と 信じていた
watashi no koto wakaru to shinjiteita
find me, I’ve believed so
ああ どんな に 夜 を 越えて 会いたかった か
Ah donna ni yoru wo koete aitakatta ka
Ah how I wanted to meet you over the night
死んだ 方 が まし と 思う
shinda hou ga mashi to omou
I even thought dying is better than
苦しさ に 名前 を 呼んだ
kurushisa ni namae wo yonda
this pain so I called out your name
吹き すさぶ 粉雪 に ひとり 閉ざされて いても
fuki-susabu konayuki ni hitori tozasarete itemo
Even when hard-blowing powder snow locked me alone,
きっと 私 だけ は
kitto watashi dake wa
I’ve been thinking only I
あなた の こと わかる と 思った
anata no koto wkaaru to omotta
could find you
春 が 来て 緑 は 萌えて
haru ga kite midori wa moete
When the spring has come, green sprouts
今日 の 景色 も まぼろし に なる
kyou no keshiki mo maboroshi ni naru
this scenery will become an illusion
そして また 冬 が 来る とき
soshite mata fuyu ga kuru toki
And again when the winter comes,
今日 の 瞳 に 励まされる
kyou no hitomi ni hagemasareru
today’s gaze will encourage me
ああ そんなに やさしい 目 で みつめないで
Ah sonnani yasashii me de mitsumenaide
Ah don’t look at me with such gentle eyes
なつかしくて なつかしくて
natsukashikute natsukashikute
I’ve missed it so much
涙 が 止まらなく なる の
namida ga tomaranaku naru no
that I can’t stop tears from falling
満ちて 来る 陽 の 光 に
michite kuru hi no hikari ni
Sunlight that start to fill the air
雪 解け の 音 が きこえる
yuki-doke no oto ga kikoeru
and I can hear the sound of melting snow
やがて 哀しみ にも 時 は 流れ
yagate kanashimi nimo toki wa nagare
Soon even in sadness, the time passes
海 へ と 注いで ゆく
umi e to sosoide yuku
and flows into the ocean
哀しみ にも 時 は 流れ
kanashimi nimo toki wa nagare
Even in sadness the time passes
海 へ と 注いで ゆく
umi e to sosoide yuku
and flows into the ocean
喜び なら 分かち 合って
yorokobi nara wakachi-atte
If it is joy, let’s share
いっしょ に 運んで ゆこう
issho ni hakonde yukou
and carry on together
