Lyrics & Translation

[Japanese]

[English]

最後のページに結末があるように

Just like a story with an ending on the last page

二人の日々も終わる時がくるのかな

I wonder if the days we've shared will come to an end too

揺れる気持ちを胸の奥に秘めたまま

While hiding my restless feelings deep in my heart

ごまかすように抱きしめたりキスをしたね

We hugged and kissed, pretending everything was fine

震える指先で誓い合った未来も

Promising a future with trembling fingertips

確かなあの温もりも

And that warm feeling I could count on

別れの日が嘘に変えてゆく

All the lies of parting day are changing everything

君にさよなら

Goodbye to you

告げるため僕ら

Just so I can say it

あんなに愛し合ったのかな

Did we love each other this much?

これが二人の結末と知っても

Even knowing this is our ending

好きだよって君に伝えられたかな

I wonder if I managed to tell you I loved you

もう遅かったかな

Was it already too late?

言葉もこの手も届かなかった

Words and even my hands couldn't reach you

笑い声も胸のトゲも

Laughter, heartbreak, all the thorns in my heart

思い出がこの目から零れそう

Memories seem to spill from my eyes

ちょっと遅すぎたかな

Maybe I waited too long

素直になれないこの口だから

Because I can't be honest with this mouth

上手に言葉が繋げない

I struggle to say the right words

ただ「好きだよ」だけ伝えたい

All I want to do is tell you ‘I love you’

同じ映画を何度も観るみたいに

Like watching the same movie over and over again

共に過ごした今日までの刻（とき）を想う

I think about all the time we shared until today

君の台詞や流した涙の意味を

The meaning behind your words and the tears you shed

受け止めてたら違う風景（けしき）たどれたかな

If I had understood, maybe I could have seen a different scenery

終わりが怖いなら始めなければいいと

If the end terrifies you, maybe you shouldn't start at all

出逢う前の僕らなら信じてたね

Back when we hadn't met, I believed in that

疑いもせずに

Without a doubt

君にさよなら

Goodbye to you

告げるまででいい

It's enough just to say it

誰より傍（そば）にいて欲しい

I want you to stay by my side more than anyone else

そんな二人の結末を知っても

Even knowing how our story ends

出逢えてよかったと想い合えるまで

Until we can think 'I'm glad we met'

君にさよなら

Goodbye to you

告げるため僕ら

Just to tell you

あんなに愛し合ったのかな

Did we love each other this much?

これが二人の結末と知っても

Even knowing this is our ending

好きだよって君に伝えたい

I want to tell you I love you

君にさよなら

Goodbye to you

告げるまででいい

It's enough just to say it

誰より傍（そば）にいて欲しい

I want you to stay by my side more than anyone else

そんな二人の結末を知っても

Even knowing how our story ends

出逢えてよかったと想い合えるまで

Until we can think 'I'm glad we met'

好きだよ

I love you

今更だけど

It's a bit late now, but

言わせて

Let me say it

さよならの前に

Before we say goodbye
