Lyrics & Translation

[Japanese]

[English]

Ticket gate our hands embraced, palm to palm they touch

Ticket gates, our hands embraced, palms touching

いつものざわめき、新しい風

The usual noise, the new wind

明るく見送るはずだったのに

I was supposed to send you off happily, but

うまく笑えずに君を見ていた

I couldn't smile properly and just watched you

君が大人になってくその季節が

The season when you become an adult

悲しい歌で溢れないように

So that it doesn't overflow with sad songs

最後に何か君に伝えたくて

In the end, I wanted to tell you something

「さよなら」に代わる言葉を僕は探してた

I was searching for words to say instead of 'goodbye'

君の手を引くその役目が僕の使命だなんて

The role of holding your hand—that's my mission

そう思ってた

That's what I thought

だけど今わかったんだ

But now I understand

僕らならもう

If it's us,

重ねた日々がほら、導いてくれる

The days we've shared will surely guide us

君が大人になってくその時間が

The time when you become an adult

降り積もる間に僕も変わってく

While those moments pile up, I too will change

たとえばそこにこんな歌があれば

For example, if there was a song like this

ふたりはいつもどんな時もつながっていける

Then we could always stay connected, no matter when

突然ふいに鳴り響くベルの音

Suddenly, the ringing of a bell explodes in the silence

焦る僕　解ける手　離れてく君

My panic, my hands slipping away, you drifting apart

夢中で呼び止めて　抱き締めたんだ

I called out desperately and held you tight

君がどこに行ったって僕の声で守るよ

Wherever you go, I'll protect you with my voice

君が僕の前に現れた日から

From the day you appeared in front of me

何もかもが違くみえたんだ

Everything started to look different

朝も光も涙も、歌う声も

The morning light, tears, and even the singing voice

君が輝きをくれたんだ

You've given me a shining glow

抑えきれない思いをこの声に乗せて

Carrying these uncontrollable feelings in my voice

遠く君の街へ届けよう

Let me reach your city far away

たとえばそれがこんな歌だったら

For example, if it was a song like this

ぼくらは何処にいたとしてもつながっていける

Then no matter where we are, we can stay connected
