Lyrics & Translation

[English] You dissolve into the sunset
I disappear into the dawn
If we won't cross paths again
Then that's our fate
You light the way
I seek the light
I'm not afraid, there's nothing to lose
I haven't had anything from the start
Well then, well then, see you again
The boy's eyes are stained
The bell tolls at five, but I can no longer hear it
Well then, well then, it's as if
Everything seems to be over
A big mistake, the road ahead is long, I won't forget
Ah, let's forget everything and go home
Ah, let's wash everything away and go home
That wound still aches, but this thirst won't heal
I don't care anymore, let's blow it all away
Let's go home with the refreshing breeze
Let's go home with the gentle falling rain
What is born from the end of hatred?
I, I will forget first
You let out your weakness
I spill my regrets
At least let me be a god for the last time
Because this is just being human
Even if you look down on a world without me
Nothing changes, it keeps spinning
My back feels a little lighter
Well then, well then, see you again
それじゃ それじゃ またね
We part ways in front of the national road
As the town's noise continues, I walk away alone
Please, please, always asking
I couldn't give you anything
Living without knowing the meaning
Ah, let's give everything and go home
Ah, let's go home with nothing
What can be given is what has been given
Let's stand tall and say thank you
I'll be waiting, so let's go home
Let's go to a place where happiness never fades
At the moment of parting, what can I take with me?
One by one, let's let go of our burdens
What is born from the end of hatred?
I, I will forget first
Ah, how should I live from today?
