風が吹いて 心ふるわせる

The wind blows, stirring my heart

月に照らされ 一人で泣いてた

Under the moonlight, crying alone

そんな日も君が笑ってた

Even on days like that, you were laughing

どんなに時がたっても

No matter how much time passes

ずっとまだ変わらないぬくもりを 抱いて

Holding onto the warmth that never changes

明日を見つめてゆける

強く 手を握りしめた

Holding your hand tightly, feeling stronger

ありがとう そう君に伝えたくて

色褪せた写真を手にした

Holding a faded photograph

懐かしいね その声も匂いも

Nostalgic, both your voice and your scent

せつなくなって 苦しくなって

Feeling heartache and pain

君を夢中で探した夜

On that night I searched for you relentlessly

輝く星が 流れる

The shining stars flow by

大丈夫 そう教えてくれたよね いつも

It's okay, you always told me so, right?
