[English]

ぽろりぽろりと君の面影を

Gently, like falling tears, I recall your face

思い出してたの

I’ve been remembering you

失くさないように

So I won’t lose you

こころの痣に変わるその前に

Before it turns into a scar inside my heart

抱きしめたいよ

I want to hold you close

触れていたいよ

I want to feel your touch

ずっと

Forever

「忘れていく事も大事だよ」 なんて

"Forgetting is also important," they say

一番似合わない君のセリフ

Such a line that suits you the least

溢れる想い彩り

Overflowing feelings in color

誰にも見せない

That I won’t show anyone

止まった時間に息さえできずに

Breathing in the stopped time, unable to even breathe

ただその目を見てた

I was just watching your eyes

誰にも見せずに落とした君の涙のワケも

The reason you shed tears without showing anyone

強がりも

And your bravado

残さず守っていたいの

I want to protect everything without leaving any behind

きらきらひかる 心が宙に舞う

My heart flickers and dances in the sky

ゆらゆら浮かぶ 心が風になる

Swaying, floating, my heart becomes the wind

ぽろりぽろりと君の面影を

Gently, like falling tears, I recall your face

思い出してたの

I’ve been remembering you

失くさないように

So I won’t lose you

こころの痣に変わるその前に

Before it turns into a scar inside my heart

抱きしめたいよ

I want to hold you close

触れていたいよ

I want to feel your touch

ずっと ずっと ずっと 胸の中

Forever, forever, forever in my chest

きっと きっと きっと 言えるかな

Surely, surely, surely I can say it

きっと

Surely

溢れる想い彩り

Overflowing feelings in color

君にも見せたい

I want to show it to you too

止まらない時間に気づけずにふたり

Unaware of the time flowing endlessly for us

淡い眠りの森の中

In the gentle forest of dreams

想えば想うほどわからなくなるの

The more I think about it, the more I don’t understand

覚えた指のぬくもりはきっと

The warmth of your fingers I learned, I know

最初で最後の出会いだと知ってる

It's our first and last encounter, I realize

ごまかさないよ もう

I won’t deceive myself anymore

離しはしないよ もう

I won’t let go anymore

ぽろりぽろりと君の面影を

Gently, like falling tears, I recall your face

I’ve been remembering you

失くさないように

So I won’t lose you

こころの中に溢れてく愛に

Within the love overflowing inside my heart

気づいていたよ

I’ve realized

抱きしめていたよ

I’ve been holding you tight

ずっと ずっと ずっと 胸の中

Forever, forever, forever in my heart
