Itsuka One day...
Itsukakittomiseteagerune I promiss to show you one day.
Otosan Okay, dad?
Shiranai kotoba wo oboete yuku tabi When words I do not understand Reveal themselves within my mind
Omokage no naka te wo nobasu no I reach out a single hand Before they’re gone from sight
Dakedo hitori de wa wakaranai kotoba mo But I have heard so many words Whose meanings still remain so blurred
Aru no kamo shirenai Cause on my own I can’t find the answers
“sayonara” wa nigakute Though there’s bitterness in a “Goodbye”
“aishiteru” wa tooi nioi ga shita “I love you” is so sweet, no matter how far away it flies
Tatoe you no nai kono omoi wa These feelings overtake my heart; with what, I can’t describe
Totemo kowakute dakedo totemo itooshikute Though I’m lost and terrified, I count them as precious gifts to hold tight
Watashi nande naiterun darou Why do the tears fall unbidden from my eyes?
Kokoro ni nante kotaetara ii How should I be answering my heart’s impassioned cries?
Kotoba wa itsudemo kataru demo nakute Although all these words have forever been unspoken
Soko ni aru bakari tsunoru bakari I don’t know how much longer I can keep them deep within
Watashi wa anata ni aitaku naru I have but only one desire: to see you one last time

Kirei na kotoba wo oboete iku tabi When I discover words that shine And marvel at their brilliant light
Jibun no koto ga iya ni narisou I cannot help but despise This emptiness inside
Dakedo se wo mukecha ikenai kotoba mo But there are words that I hold dear As long as I can keep them near
Aru no kamo shirenai I know that I have nothing to fear
Kanashimi wa tsumetaku Sadness comes in like the bitter cold
Arigatou wa nukumori ni irozuku But “Thank You” carries warmth that colors the landscape with its glow
Katachi no nai mono fureru tabi ni And every time I’m swept away by what I can’t explain
Anata no koe ga mune no oku de hibiiteiru no I hear echoes of your voice within my heart, I hope they never will fade
Kakikakete wa yameta I put pen to paper, but I stopped
Atesaki no nai tegami wa It’s a letter meant for someone long and gone
Kaze ni yureru That flutters in the wind
Todoketai hito no machi made May it find the place where my dearest one awaits
Hajimari no owari wo tsutaeru tame ni This beginning has come to an end, now I decide my own fate!
Ikiru koto yamenai koto I’ll go on living, I’m never giving up
Anata ni kyou wo hokoreru you ni I hope that you’re smiling as you watch from above
Watashi nande naiteirun darou Why do the tears fall unbidden from my eyes?
Kokoro ni nante kotaetara ii? How should I be answering my heart’s impassioned cries?
Kotoba wa itsudemo kataru demo nakute Although all these words have forever been unspoken
Soko ni aru bakari tsunoru bakari I don’t know how much longer I can keep them deep within
Watashi wa anata ni aitakunaru yo I have but only one desire: to see you one last time
