決めたのは 自分自身 だから最後に

It's because I decided myself that at the end,

指と指 結んだら 約束させて

When we link our fingers together, let's promise each other,

いつかまた この町に 戻って来る woo

Someday, I'll come back to this town again, woo

振りむけば 泣いちゃうから夕焼けを 見上げているね

If I look back, I'll cry, so I'm gazing up at the sunset

So many stars 空で生まれた星たち

So many stars, the stars born in the sky

Oh someday シュッと流れ消える瞬間(とき)に

Please tell me I haven't made a mistake, woo
