Lyrics & Translation
Wondering if we'll meet again.
Even if it's just for trivial things.
Let's talk for a little while.
Nostalgic glass marbles.
See, they're right here.
Just by shining through the blue sky,
It now seemed like hope.
Both dreams and reality,
Blessings and struggles,
I want to stay by your side and witness it all,
But I have to go now, so...
Smile, smile, show your face.
Even if an uncertain future is waiting there,
You're always walking with the person you love.
Under the distant sky,
There was a kind you.
Feeling that we're connected.
From now on,
Beyond what seems like a painted sky,
Even if tomorrow I disappear,
You will keep smiling, keep smiling...
At the long, long end of the road,
Many encounters await.
You’re always walking with the person you love.
Under the distant sky,
There you are, always walking together.
You, no matter the time,
Keep smiling and walking.
