mada, dare mo shiranai
yuragu kokoro no ikisaki
kimi no kami wo sotto naderu
nanika wo tashikametakute
--
Still, no one knows
the destination of a swaying heart
I softly stroke your hair,
wanting to confirm something
kokoro (daiji da to)
utsushidasu (omou hodo)
kagami wo (shinjitsu wa)
nozokeba (toozakaru)
itoshii sugata ga kieteku
--
If I look (The more I think)
into the mirror (your precious)
reflecting (the farther away)
my heart (the truth goes)
Your beloved figure is disappearing
bokura ai wo kasaneatte
yakusoku wo kawashita
hoka no dare mo fumikomenai
futari dake no basho de
dakedo kimi wa kirei ni naru
boku no inai basho de
boku wa nazeka me wo tojite
kidzukanai FURI wo shita
...itamu kara
--
We go through love,
exchanging promises
at this place that belongs to us only,
where no one else can step into
But you become beautiful
in places where I am not at
For some reason I closed my eyes
and pretended not to notice
...because it hurt
mada, dare mo shiranai
kono mayoi no mukau saki
nagai matsuge mabataki shite
sono hitomi dare wo miru no?
--
Still, no one knows
the destination this hesitation is heading towards
Your long eyelashes blinking
Who are those eyes looking at?

kikitakute (aidzuchi mo)
kimi no na (tawainai)
wo yobu yo (kaiwa de mo)
chikaku ni iru yo na ki ga shite
--
Wanting to hear (Even our casual)
your voice (nods)
I call (and our trivial)
your name (talks)
I feel as though you are close by
bokura ai wo kasaneatte
yakusoku wo kawashita
hoka no dare mo fumikomenai
futari dake no basho de
dakedo boku ga hohoemu tabi
ai wo sasayaku tabi

--
We go through love,
exchanging promises
at this place that belongs to us only,
where no one else can step into
But whenever I smile at you
and whisper love to you
For some reason you close your eyes
and hold your breath
...is it because it hurts?
keshou wo otosu kagami goshi
shisen ga oshieteita
kokoro no yukue
shiru koto wa
subete wo ushinau koto nanda to
--
Taking off your makeup, through the mirror,
your eyes told me
that to know
where your heart resides
is to lose everything
bokura ai wo kasaneatte
yakusoku wo kawashita
hoka no dare mo fumikomenai
futari dake no basho de
dakedo kimi wa kirei ni naru
boku no inai basho de
boku wa kyou mo me wo tojite
kidzukanai FURI wo suru
...itamu kara
--
We go through love,
exchanging promises
at this place that belongs to us only,
where no one else can step into
But you become beautiful
in places where I am not at
Today too, I close my eyes
and pretend not to notice
...because it hurts

The sakura bud
is quietly expanding
Embracing my dreams, I fly
to the beautiful spring sky in March (1)

tabidatsu haru wo machiwabita
wakare ga kuru koto ni
me wo fuse
omoide wo
tsudzuri nagara

Enduring the coldness of winter
I wait impatiently for the day of departure
That the time to part is coming
I avert my eyes
as I compose
my memories
sotsugyou wa owari jyanaku
mada minu mirai
sagasu tame no tabidachi no hi
sekibaku no omoi
mune ni samezame to...

Graduation isn't the end
It's the day of departure to go find
an unseen future
The feeling of loneliness
in my heart is anguished...
You
someday
let's meet

Dreams aren't something you see
it's something you make true...
with no lies or fakeness,
those are the words I receive from you
kodoku ni tsubusaresou na yoru wa
kawamo de nagare saku sakura ni
furue naita

In nights when I seem to be crushed by loneliness
In the blooming sakura flowing on the river surface
shaking and crying
when I think of you [like that]
I feel like
I can do my best
kasumi yuku haru no kaze ni
betsu betsu no michi
erabu toki ga tabidachi no hi (2)

In the hazy spring breeze
On the day of departure, at the time
when we choose separate roads
Words of a reluctant parting
are lively in my heart
Someday
again at this place,
let's meet
kakegae no nai omoide to
nanigenai kotoba wo
kokoro to iu kaban ni boku wa
muzousa ni tsumekomiyuku yo

Our irreplaceable memories
and our casual words
In this bag called my heart,
I'm packing them carelessly

--
In this changing spring
I can no longer return
to the time when we were young, on the day of our departure (2)
I can glimpse the outlines of a sakura blossom
in the sky, scattered...
The word
I send to you is
thank you
sotsugyou wa owari jyanaku
mada minu mirai
sagasu tame no tabidachi no hi
sekibaku no omoi

(1) The word used is "yayoi" which is the third month of the lunar calendar. I don't know if it can be March but March is the month of graduation in Japan which is what this song is about.
(2) Word sung is 'toki' (time) but kanji written is 'koku' which is an archaic form.

I wake up in the morning, you're no longer beside me anymore
In this dark room, what I hold tightly in my arms is
a faint warmth because I was scared that I was forgetting

we had to believe in what was important - unable to do even that,
the kindness passed by everything, tormenting us

No matter how much I loved you, longed for you, I couldn't reach you
There isn't a single thing that can be conveyed if I don't say anything
I can say it honestly now, Loving you
yurushiaenai hibi to senaka wo mukeau hibi
taisetsu na kotoba kuchi ni suru dake de uso ni naru ki ga shite

On days when we couldn't forgive one another, and turned our back to one another
Just saying these precious words felt like they were lies
Loveliness supressed everything and hid them

No matter how much I loved you, mourned for you, your substitute couldn't heal me
If I closed my eyes even now, I would remember your side profile from that time, that day
I'm sorry I couldn't say it, Loving you
Loving you...
donna ni aishite mo motomete mo futari, ano hi e kaerenai
nanimo kesenai de afureteru kimi no kakera dakishimete
ima sunao ni ieru yo Loving you

No matter how much I loved you, longed for you, the two of us cannot return to that day
I won't erase anything, I'll just hold onto overflowing fragments of you
I can say it honestly now, Loving you
