Translation

Oh hey you, still I laugh, smile smile
Oh hey you, I wave my hand bye bye
I want to say goodbye to love
We put behind and leave
Let me just hold on that dropping hand, I'm waiting for bye bye
I'm okay with giving up everything
I have loved you enough
Suddenly, the nostalgia was brought back
I would live in resemblance with you
All conversations that can't be finished in this place, everything is leaving
One day, when the rain stops, it will get brighter
Everything will get better
I want to say goodbye to love
We put behind and leave
Let me just hold on that dropping hand, I'm waiting for bye bye
All conversations that can't be finished in this place, everything is leaving
One day, when the rain stops, it will get brighter
Everything will get better
All conversations that can't be finished in this place, everything is leaving
One day, when the rain stops, it will get brighter
Everything will get better
All conversations that can't be finished in this place, everything is leaving

One day, when the rain stops, it will get brighter
Everything will get better
