[English]

What words can I use

to convey my feelings to you now?

I'm clumsy, but

I want to reach you properly.

When tomorrow becomes unclear,

I start to fear believing.

I regretted the past and blamed myself,

but you continued to love me.

Even if the world ends tomorrow,

and even if the days of not seeing you continue,

I will always think of you.

Your smile that you gave me that day

gave me the strength and courage to live.

Even on lonely nights when the stars are not visible,

just having you here makes me stronger.

When our eyes meet, we smile,

and being together is so much fun.

Every day we spent together

was something irreplaceable.

The cold headwind is harsh,

and I feel like I might forget,

but in the ordinary days we've passed,

our happiness was surely there.

If I am quietly crying alone

in a night that never breaks,

just as you believed in me,

next, I will hold your hand tightly.

I was running away from being hurt,

but what moves this heart

is you, who never shows weakness,

and the tears you showed me for the first time.

You once told me

about the future you envisioned,

so that we can be together.

With you here, any tomorrow

will become a light that I can walk towards.

Even on lonely nights when the stars are not visible,

I can believe that we will laugh here again.

信じられる 僕らまたここで

On the days to come.

...

[Japanese]

どんな言葉で

今あなたに伝えられるだろう

不器用な僕だけど

ちゃんとあなたに届くように

明日が見えなくなって

信じることが怖くなって

過去を悔やんでは責めたりもしたけれど

僕を愛し続けてくれた人

もしも明日世界が終わっても

会えない日々が続いたとしても

僕はずっとあなたを想うよ

あの日僕にくれたあなたの笑顔が

生きる力と勇気をくれたんだ

星が見えない 孤独な夜でも

あなたがいる ただそれだけで

強くなれる

目が合えば笑って

一緒にいれば楽しくて

共に過ごした毎日は

かけがえのないものだった

向かい風が冷たくて

忘れてしまいそうになるけど

通り過ぎてきた何気ない日々の中に

僕らの幸せは確かにあった

もしも明けない夜の中で

一人静かに泣いているのなら

あなたが僕を信じてくれたように

次は僕がその手を強く握るから

傷つくことから逃げていた

この心動かすのは

弱さを見せないあなたが

初めて見せた涙

いつか僕に話してくれた

あなたが描いた未来の中に

僕ら一緒にいられるように

あなたがいることでどんな明日も

歩いていける光になるから

星が見えない孤独な夜でも

信じられる 僕らまたここで

笑える日を
