Tōmawari bakari shita yo ne kimi to aruiteta
Yūgure no kaze ni fukarete ashita o miteita
Nani ga okite mo heiki sō omoeta yo
Ano hi ano basho de toki o kasaneru made
Shirazu ni ita sekai
Meguri meguru kisetsu ga ienai kokoro mitashiteku
Itsumo sono egao ga senaka o osu kara
Kako ni umorete kieta futari kawashita kotoba ga
Ima mo mabushii zutto chikaku ni kimi o kanjiteru kara
Senobi o shita tte mienai tōi tōi deguchi

Kako ni umorete kieta tsutaetakatta kotoba ga
Ima mo mabushii zutto chikaku ni kimi o kanjiteru kara
Walking all this way with you, we've sure taken some detours;
Blown along by the wind at twilight, we had our gaze fixed on tomorrow.
I felt that I'd be fine, no matter what might happen;
Until time overtook that day, that place,
Such a world was unknown to me.
As the seasons come in turns, they fulfill my unhealing heart,
'Cause your usual smile is pushing me along.
Buried in the past, out of sight, the words that we exchanged,
Are still so bright... 'cause I can feel you forever close beside me.
No matter how much taller I become, that far-off exit will remain out of sight...
Pounded by a downpour of rain, I was standing frozen in place.
But if I reach out my hand, there's warmth right there;
A light that illuminates my way, unfaltering even on the darkest of paths.
Emotions I can't quite express come welling up in my chest,
But the tears that stream down my cheeks will turn become my strength.
Even being apart, the night sky that I look upon alone,
Is still so gentle... 'cause I can feel you standing quietly beside me.
If I close my eyes, your voice can be clearly heard;
Fleeting days continue on,
But what guides my steps onward is the endless courage that you gave me.
As the seasons come in turns, they fulfill my unhealing heart,
While providing a meaning for those tears that once fell.
Buried in the past, out of sight, those words I wanted to tell you,
Are still so bright... 'cause I can feel you forever close beside me.
Каким бы трудным ни был путь,
Коль рядом ты — на душе не грустно ничуть.
Верила: всё нипочём,
В то, что будем всегда мы вдвоём.
В мире чуждом дни напролёт,
Близ тебя часам теряла счёт.
Где никто никогда не найдёт.
Месяца закружили хоровод,
И назло болезням всем сердце бьёт.
Улыбнись. И сил придашь опять,
Чтоб вновь отпор невзгодам дать.
Сколько слов было сказано тогда,
И они, казалось, стёрлись навсегда.
Но забыть я не смогу
Ту, кто в радость и в беду
Рядом был и солнцем мне светил.
