Translation: Lyrics of 冬空 (Winter Sky) by 松下優也(Matsushita Yuya)
Haven't done a Matsushita Yuya song in AGES.... O.o Anyways. This is my favorite song from his latest single Kimi e no Love Song -10nen saki mo- (which I will admit is not exactly recent.... I just never got around to it till now...... =.=), 冬空 (romaji Fuyuzora). It's a sad song, reminds me a little of Lonely Rain, but there we go. I think Yuya-san's voice really suits these slow ballad love/regret type songs. So here we go then.

見えなくても

Because even though they cannot be seen,
感じることが

I know that
真実（ほんとう）だとわかるから
hontou da to wakaru kara

君が残したものを
Kimi ga nokoshita mono wo
I am afraid of
失うときの
Ushinau toki no
the silence of the time
静けさが僕は怖い
Shizukesa ga boku wa kowai
when I lose what you’ve left behind
--
涙はいらない いまはいらない
Namida wa iranai, ima wa iranai
I don’t need tears; I don’t need the present
なにもかも 変わらないさ
Nani mo ka mo kawaranai sa
Because nothing will change
瞳を閉じて 抱きしめて
Me wo tojite, dakishimete
Close your eyes and hold me
そうすれば 僕も 君も まだ
Sou sureba, boku mo kimi mo mada
Because if we do that, then both you and I
ひとりじゃない
hitori ja nai
will not be alone

見上げた冬空 遠いあの空
Miageta fuyuzora, tooi ano sora
I look up at the winter sky, that faraway sky
そこからなにが見えるの
Soko kara nani ga mieru no
What can you see from there?
この先に ある道は
Kono saki ni, aru michi wa
Beyond this, there is a path
約束を 果たせないままに
yakusoku wo hatasenai mama ni
that continues on to someplace,
どこへ続く
doko e tsuzuku
leaving promises unfulfilled

愛はどうしていつも
Ai wa doushite itsumo
Why is love always
強すぎるほど
tsuyosugiru hodo
so overpowering that
癒せない傷をつける
iyasenai kizu wo tsukeru
it leaves scars that cannot be healed

涙はいらない いまはいらない
Namida wa iranai, ima wa iranai
I don’t need tears; I don’t need the present
僕たちは 終わらないさ
Bokutachi wa owaranai sa
Because we will never end
めぐり逢い 結ばれた
Meguriai, musubareta
We met and were bound together
この街は 僕と 君を まだ
Kono machi wa, boku to kimi wo mada

見上げた冬空 遠いあの空
Miageta fuyuzora, tooi ano sora
I look up at the winter sky, that faraway sky
そこからなにが見えるの
Soko kara nani ga mieru no
What can you see from there?
変わらない思い出が
Kawaranai omoide ga
These unchanging feelings
悲しみを 乗り越えられる日を
kanashimi wo norikoerareru hi wo
simply want to know when
ただ知りたい
tada shiritai
the day this sadness can be overcome will be.
I really liked translating this song because everything made sense!!! Although I doubt it's because I've increased in Japanese proficiency, I do appreciate how it has such deep meaning without using too difficult language.
As always, please let me know if you think I misunderstood the meaning and would like to correct it, or if you've found a better translation elsewhere. Thanks for reading!
