Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was holding and feeling you
Never thought of otherwise
Our love is baby, forever and ever
愛することの意味も知らずに
幼き僕は貴方の全てを愛していた
But you are not here anymore
I know that it's way too late but I know now
I wish I could oh baby
Tell you, I'm loving you
On the road that rainy day
You were smiling and I gave you a kiss
あの日の僕はこのまま二人は永遠だと
I was wrong to let you down before
Now I can do love you better way
But you are gone but you are gone
I don't see you anywhere
On the road its rainy day
I'm walking, walking alone
いつかこの空が晴れてアナタが
笑顔でいられるように

On the road that rainy day
In that moment of sadness and gloom
I was holding and feeling you
I was cherishing and embracing your presence
Never thought of otherwise
It never crossed my mind to consider anything else
Our love is baby, forever and ever
Our love is eternal, my dear
I'm walking on the same road
I'm still journeying along the familiar path
But you are not here anymore
However, you are no longer by my side
I know that it's way too late but I know now
I understand that it's far too late, but I comprehend it now
I wish I could oh baby
I yearn to, oh darling
Tell you, I'm loving you
Express my affection for you
On the road that rainy day
In that moment of sadness and gloom
You were smiling and I gave you a kiss
You had a smile on your face, and I showered you with a kiss

On that day, I believed that we would remain eternal

But you are gone but you are gone
Yet, you are gone, you are no longer here
I don't see you anywhere
I don't perceive your presence anywhere
On the road its rainy day
In that moment of sadness and gloom
I'm walking, walking alone
I'm traversing this path all by myself
いつかこの空が晴れてアナタが
Someday, when the sky clears and you
笑顔でいられるように
Can be happy with a smile on your face
