Lyrics & Translation

[English] The moonlight illuminates the path at night
I can't help but remember you
I've never been able to accept it
I've been feeling down
I swore many times to live alone
But tears kept falling
Even if I want to forget, I can't
Everything about you
I want to see you once more, in this place
All the feelings I can't hold back
I was searching for them in my dreams
Always, always
I want to hold you and sleep once more
Your warmth, just once more
I was searching for them in my dreams
Always, always
Saying goodbye at the end, like this
It's so heartbreaking, just like
The mistakes of the past
Were so trivial
The words exchanged at that time, in that place
And the hearts that became scattered
Why couldn't I say I loved you back then?
I want to see you once more, in this place
All the feelings I can't hold back
I was searching for them in my dreams
Always, always
ずっと ずっと
I want to hold you and sleep once more
Your warmth, just once more
I was searching for them in my dreams
Always, always
Reborn, once more, in this place
We can meet again, our love is here
I believe we will cross paths again
Always, always
Oh, beloved, please don't forget
The vivid future, just once more
It shouldn't have faded
Always, always
I believe,,, your love
