[English]
How wonderful it would have been if this were all a dream
I still see you in my dreams
Like going back to retrieve something I forgot
I brush the dust off these old memories
That there are happinesses that will never return
That is what you taught me at the very end
The dark past I hid and couldn't tell you
Without you, it will remain dark forever
I know that I probably won't
Ever be hurt any more than this
Even the sadness of that day, even the pain of that day
I loved it all, as long as I was with you
The bitter scent of lemon remains in my heart and won't leave
I can't go home until the rain stops falling
Even now, you are my light
In the darkness, I traced the line of your back
I remember your silhouette so vividly
Every time I encounter something I cannot handle
The only thing that overflows is my tears
What were you doing? What were you looking at?
With a side of you that I never knew
If you are somewhere now, just like me
Lost in tears and surrounded by loneliness
Then please, I beg you, forget all about me
So much so that I wish for it from the bottom of my heart
Even now, you are my light
More than I ever realized
I was in love with you
Since then, it's been as if
I can't breathe properly
Even though you were so close to me
It feels like a lie
I simply cannot forget you
That is the only thing I'm sure of
Even the sadness of that day, even the pain of that day
I loved it all, as long as I was with you
The bitter scent of lemon remains in my heart and won't leave
I can't go home until the rain stops falling
Like a piece of fruit sliced in two
Even now, you are my light
