[English]

This is the story of us on a day when white snow was falling

Time passing over the snow

Overflowing sadness

It seemed like you were holding back

Me too, you know

It was the same for me

When I hear your lonely-sounding

voice, I reach out my hand

After this cold winter passes

I believe we'll realize

That even while freezing, the warmth of our hearts blooming

Makes us stronger

Gathering hearts that pile up and pile up

With the power of love

Words can be like blades

Sometimes they save us too

If you hear a sad voice,

I'll reach out my hand immediately

Let's become warm, caring people

After this cold winter passes

I believe we'll realize

That even while freezing, the warmth of our hearts blooming

Makes us stronger

Gathering hearts that pile up and pile up

With the power of love

The world may be scary to step into, but it's okay

Let's hold hands now

If we comfort each other, we'll see the sun again tomorrow

As the seasons change again

I believe we'll realize

That with the warmth of spring winds blooming in our hearts

We become stronger

Gathering hearts that pile up and pile up

With the power of love

[Japanese]

これは白い雪が降っていた日の 僕たちの物語だ　

雪の上を通り過ぎた時間

悲しみが溢れ

堪えてたみたいだね

僕もそうだよ

同じだったよ

あなたの 寂しそうな

声がしたら 手を伸ばすよ

寒い冬が過ぎたら

僕らは知るのでしょう

凍えながらも 咲く心の温もりで

僕らは 強くなる

積もる 積もる 積もる心を集めて

あいのちから

言葉は刃のように

また時には僕らを 救ってくれる

悲しい声 聴こえたら

すぐ手を差し伸べる

あたたかい僕らになってみよう

寒い冬が過ぎたら

僕らは知るのでしょう

凍えながらも 咲く心の温もりで

僕らは 強くなる

積もる 積もる 積もる心を集めて

あいのちから

踏み出すのがこわい世界だけれど 大丈夫だから

今 手と手を繋ごう

慰めあえば また明日の太陽に会える

また季節がめぐって

僕らは知るのでしょう

春風の中 咲く心の温もりで

僕らは 強くなる

積もる 積もる 積もる心を集めて

あいのちから
