[English]

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

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

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

I'll go ahead first

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

So many stars, the stars born in the sky

Oh, someday, in that fleeting moment when they disappear quickly

They're so beautiful that I can't help but have nothing to say

Life goes on, and I keep thinking of you

I go on, wanting to keep trying from now on

I won't say just goodbye

We fought and made up over and over

To you, more precious than anyone else, I want to say

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

We’ve grown up, haven't we?

The day we met, we were really just kids

So many stars, balloons called dreams

Step by step, we steadily expanded them

Let’s try flying here, take a deep breath

Life goes on, and I remain myself

I go on, even if tomorrow is rainy

After that, I’ll look for a rainbow (search for a rainbow)

Right now, I want to tell you... "Thank you"

So many stars, the stars born in the sky

Oh, someday, in that fleeting moment when they disappear quickly

They're so beautiful that I can't help but have nothing to say

Life goes on, and I keep thinking of you

I go on, wanting to keep trying from now on

I won't just say goodbye

[Japanese]

決めたのは 自分自身 だから最後に

指と指 結んだら 約束させて

いつかまた この町に 戻って来る woo

私が先に行くね

振りむけば 泣いちゃうから夕焼けを 見上げているね

So many stars 空で生まれた星たち

Oh someday シュッと流れ消える瞬間(とき)に

綺麗すぎて 言葉なんか 何一つ浮かばない

Life goes on 私はあなたを想い

I go on これからも頑張っていたい

さよならだけは言わない

喧嘩して 仲直り 繰り返してた

誰よりも 大切な あなたに私

間違えて いないよと 言ってほしい woo

大人になったよね

出会った日 私たち本当に 子供だったね

So many stars 夢という名の風船を

Step by step どんどん膨らませたけれど

ここらへんで 飛ばしてみよう 深呼吸してみよう

Life goes on 私は私のままで

I go on もしも明日雨だったら

そのあと虹を探す(虹を探す)

今あなたに 伝えたいの ねえ...「ありがとう」

So many stars 空で生まれた星たち

Oh someday シュッと流れ消える瞬間(とき)に

綺麗すぎて 言葉なんか 何一つ浮かばない

Life goes on 私はあなたを想い

I go on これからも頑張っていたい

さよならだけは言わない
