[English]

あどけない笑顔を浮かべた　写真の中のふたりはまだ

The two of us in the photo, with innocent smiles, are still there

こんな日が来るとは思わず　お揃いの紅茶を選んだ

Not expecting a day like this to come, we chose matching tea

変わらないこのテラスは今日も 懐かしい匂いがするけど

This unchanged terrace still has that nostalgic scent today

泣けてくんのは君のせいさ

The tears come because of you

もう一度誘って　もう一度笑って

Invite me once more, laugh with me once more

僕たちがこの場所で出会えたなら

If we could meet in this place again

君の手握って誓いたいのに　そうなんだ...

I want to hold your hand and make a vow, but that's how it is...

君の声が聴けないなんて　君の名前呼べないなんて

Not being able to hear your voice, not being able to call your name

せめて夢で会えたらきっと 君をギュッと抱きしめるんだ

At least if we could meet in a dream, I would surely hold you tight

だけど君に会えないなんて 愛してると言えないなんて

But not being able to see you, not being able to say I love you

悲しいほど狂おしくって　切ない...切ない恋をした

It's maddeningly sad, a heart-wrenching... heart-wrenching love

ah...ただ泣いたんだ

ah... I just cried

ah...切ない...切ない恋をした

ah... a heart-wrenching... heart-wrenching love

寂しさをごまかす…

I try to mask the loneliness...
