[English]

Spring is still far away, and the cold sky

Turns from cloudy to snow

Even when I look up at the gray sky,

It won’t reach you, it seems

Ah, those stories I didn't know when we were side by side

Our breath turns white, just heating up

Snow, dance and scatter toward you — feelings are fleeting

Many nights I sit alone, wishing will you hear me

Life is short, so love, young maiden — I still hold onto my feelings

Please forget those memories of you, end it all

[Japanese]

春はまだ遠く寒空は

曇りのち雪へ変わる

灰色の空見上げても

貴方には届かないのね

嗚呼、隣にいた頃は知らずにいた物語

吐く息は白くただ熱を帯びてく

雪よ舞い散れ其方に向けて　想いは儚いものです

幾夜徒然私は独り　願いよ届け

命短し恋せよ乙女　私はまだ想っています

其方の記憶をどうか消して　とどめを刺して
