[English]

君が笑うと　嬉しいから

When you smile, it makes me happy

どこまでもふたり　歩けそうで

It feels like we could walk together forever

君が泣いたら　空も泣くよ

If you cry, even the sky will cry too

星の隠れた夜は　そばにいて

On nights when the stars hide away, just stay by my side

君が生まれた　その日には

On the day you were born,

遠くの月さえ　語りかける

Even the distant moon begins to speak

空に浮かんだ　青い船は

A blue ship floating in the sky

ゆらゆら　あなたを運ぶだろう

Sways and carries you along

やがて　時が過ぎてく

Soon, time will pass

思い出の水たまり

A puddle of memories

うまく　飛び越えられずに

I can’t quite leap over you

闇に散る

And scatter into the darkness

繰り返す　白いさよなら

Repeating white goodbyes

心　小さく震え

My heart trembles slightly

愛を忘れていたけれど

Though I had forgotten love

いつかまた夜を越え　明日の風を待って

Someday, crossing the night again, waiting for tomorrow’s wind

桜の舞う季節に　君と出逢おう

Let’s meet during the season when sakura blooms

そしたら　朝がきて

Then morning will come

降り注ぐ光に

In the pouring sunlight

青い空をつかまえたなら　生きていこう

If I can catch the blue sky, I’ll keep on living

笑った声と　拗ねた顔が

Your laughter and sulky face

胸に残り　今日も眠れない

Lingers in my heart, and I can’t sleep tonight

雨の降る日は　会いたいかな?

On rainy days, do I want to see you?

言えずに触れずに

Without being able to say, without touching

時と遊ぶ

Playing with time

青く光る　ビー玉

A blue glass marble shining

夕焼けに吸い込まれ

Drawn into the sunset

届かないこの思いごと　落ちていく

Falling with this unreachable feeling

いつか大人になって　駅のホーム佇んで

Someday, as an adult, standing on the station platform

僕を忘れた君がいる

There’s you who has forgotten about me

いつか時はめぐり

One day, time will turn again

君と　出逢えたなら

If only I could meet you

まだ見ない空に　ふたり色を塗ろう

Let’s paint the colors of our future on the sky we haven't seen yet

明日の日は遠くて　昨日は痛くて

Tomorrow feels far away, and yesterday still hurts

それでも　君とふたりなら

But even so, if I’m with you

花は咲く

Flowers will bloom

本当のこと言うよ　君と生きてたいよ

I’ll truly tell you — I want to live with you

時の波が　さらうとしても

Even if the waves of time try to take you away

いつかまた夜を越え　明日の風を待って

Someday, crossing the night again, waiting for tomorrow’s wind

桜の舞う季節に　君と出逢おう

Let’s meet during the season when sakura blooms

そしたら　朝がきて

Then morning will come

降り注ぐ光に

In the pouring sunlight

青い空をつかまえたなら　生きていこう

If I can catch the blue sky, I’ll keep on living
