[English]

Time passes so painfully, even though I want to forget, I can't

I close my eyes and listen to that familiar sound in my heart that’s longing for you

Waiting for your special gaze, but even in the bright sunlight, your shadow lingers

Even if I want to pretend it’s just a dream, I can't turn away, I need to hold on

Committed to love forever, pushing forward, everything from my heart and soul

My love, I realized it’s you, following your footsteps, ending this silence

My love, from the moment I knew, I followed you, ending as we started

In this world, sadness now turns into farewell

Sleep comes, but the lingering memories cast a dark shadow, I won’t forget

Until the day we meet again, I’ll stay by your side, in this new world

Waiting for your gaze, but even in the bright sunlight, your shadow lingers

Even if I want to pretend it’s just a dream, I can't turn away, I need to hold on

Turn love into a star, reaching your heart; my feelings, bright and clear

In this world, I realized it’s you, following your footsteps, ending this silence

My love, I knew it was you, walking with you, ending this moment

In this world, sadness now turns into farewell

Sleep comes, but the lingering memories cast a dark shadow, I won’t forget

Until the day we meet again, I’ll stay by your side, in this new world

Just by thinking of you, I can feel it deep inside

Looking at images of you, feeling your presence

Every moment, I want to hold onto you; it’s all I desire, so give me your hand

I love you, I realized it’s you, following your footsteps, ending this farewell

In this world, sadness now turns into farewell

Even if I think of you, I grow stronger, so give me strength (give me strength)

Now, I feel this emotion together, and I know we’ll meet again in this world

...
