Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Sayonara no mae ni let go

De mo kokoro no meiro no naka de mayou

Sutereo kara Mono e

Wakaremichi wa sou

Kore ga chiriyuku sada me nara ba, my last letter

Tsuzuru kotoba kaite wa keshiteru, kimi e no omoi wa

So many to let go, unpuzzle my Lego

Moto no katachi ni modorenai level

So be it don’t cry

I’ma let you go and fly

Sewashinaku suru bibi, keeping myself busy

Magirawasu tame umekonda schedule

De mo wasurerarenai yo

Nori ni yakitsuiteru like tattoo

Ano koro ni wa modorenai ne

Dekiru koto nara call your name

No but uketomeru your blame (Your blame)

Hontou ni it is time to say goodbye

Sayonara no mae ni let go

De mo kokoro no meiro no naka de mayou

Sutereo kara Mono e, wakaremichi wa sou

Tsuzukudarou

Ima kimi no te o

Hanaseru youni

I gotta let you know (Gotta let you know)

That I need to let you go (Need to let you go)

Hard to say goodbye

Demo nigenai

I’m ready to let go

(Hoo, hoo, hoo)

I’m ready to let go

(Hoo, hoo, hoo)

I’m ready to let go

(Hoo, hoo, hoo)

L-E-T G-O

Imagoro dokode nani o shiteru

Tōku hanarete dare o omou

Kimi ga inai seikatsu wa mou

Unbelievable, sore de mo iku shika nein da

Ore ga aishisugita hito

Karamisugite karamiatta ito

Odo kena kunatte betsu no michi o

Ayumu sono tame ni I’ll say goodbye

Hajimari wa itsu no hi mo

Ame no naka kakushita namida no saki ni

Matteru yarinaosou

Mata mirai de egao de

Aeru youni

Ima kimi no te o

Hanaseru youni

I gotta let you know (Gotta let you know)

That I need to let you go (Need to let you go)

Hard to say goodbye

Demo nigenai

I’m ready to let go

(Hoo, hoo, hoo)
