Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kimi ga sayonara mo tsugezuni deteitta ano hi kara
Kono machi no keshiki ya nioi ga
Kawatta ki ga suru yo

Kimi no subete ni naritakute kawashita yakusoku mo
Hatasarenai mama omoide ni
Kawatte shimau
Hitori kiri de kimi ga naita ano toki
Sugu ni tonde ikeba, ima mo mada kimi wa boku no yoko ni ite kureta

Dekiru naraba mou ichido iitakatta "daisuki" tte
Kimi he no omoi mo afuredashita kotoba mo ima wa todokanai

Kimi wa doko ni ite
Dare to doko ni ite
Donna fuku wo kite
Nani shite waratterun darou?

Boku wa koko ni ite

Kimi to futari de mata
Aeru to shinjiteiru yo

Oh Oh

Oh Oh
Kimi dake omotteiru yo

Musunda kami no ushiro sugata ni kimi wo kasanete
Furikaeru mishiranu dareka ni nando mo gakkari shita

Chakushin ga aru tabi kimi no namae kitai shitari
Kakkowarui mainichi bakari sugite iku yo

"Wasurerarenai" no ga uso de, hontou wa "wasuretakunai" dake
Tsuyogari ga bokurashisa naraba mou iranai

Kimi ga inakya mou nidoto kanjinai shiawase tte

Kore ijou setsunasa wo dakishimete

Kimi ga iru dake de kagayaite mieta
Ano koro wa nidoto modotte wa konai kedo
