Lyrics
| ! | ! |
| Japanese | Romaji | English |
| 落ちていく夕陽 目の前に広がる | Ochite yuku yūhi me no mae ni hirogaru | The setting sun spreads out before my eyes. |
| 時間の大きさが 胸を締めつける | Jikan no ōkisa ga mune o shimetsukeru | The magnitude of time presses upon me. |
| 季節は巡り 世界も巡る | Kisetsu wa meguri sekai mo meguru | Seasons turn; the world turns too. |
| だけど私は ひとり残され | Dakedo watashi wa hitori nokosare | I, however, am left alone, |
| 動けないままで たたずむ ただ | ugokenai mama de tatazumu tada | unable to move, merely standing still. |
| 舞い落ちる 花びらの下 | Maiochiru hanabira no shita | Beneath the petals fluttering down, |
| 今も憶えていますか？ あの日の約束 | ima mo oboete imasu ka? ano hi no yakusoku | do you still remember the promise we made that day? |
| もう二度と 戻れぬ私は | Mō nidoto modorenu watashi wa | Unable ever to return, I |
| あの場所へ帰りたいと 泣くのです | ano basho e kaeritai to naku no desu | weep that I want to go back there. |
| やがて雪は溶け 柔らかな光 | Yagate yuki wa toke yawaraka na hikari | Before long the snow melts and soft light |
| 降り注ぐ場所に 導かれていた | furisosogu basho ni michibikarete ita | pours down on the place to where I was led, |
| 大切なものが 増えていく いま | taisetsu na mono ga fuete'ku ima | now that there are more people that I care about. |
| せせらぎに 浮かべた笹舟 | Seseragi ni ukabeta sasabune | The toy boat I floated in the creek, |
| すぐに見えなくなって 流れて消えてく | sugu ni mienaku natte nagarete kiete'ku | soon disappears from sight, carried off by the stream. |
| 優しさに 囲まれ私は | Yasashisa ni kakomare watashi wa | Surrounded by kindness, I laugh |
| 流されても仕方ないねって 笑うんです | nagasarete mo shikata nai ne tte warau n desu | that there's nothing I can do about it even if it's carried off. |
| 生まれては消えてゆく | Umarete wa kiete yuku | As soon as one is born, one starts fading away. |
| 悲しみ喜び響き合って | Kanashimi yorokobi hibikiatte | Sadness and joy echo with each other |
| この世界をつくる | kono sekai o tsukuru | and form this world. |
| いつの日か この痛み消えても | Itsu no hi ka kono itami kiete mo | Though one day this pain disappear, |
| あなたは許してくれますか？ あの日と同じく | anata wa yurushite kuremasu ka? ano hi to onajiku | will you forgive me as you did that day? |
| 流されて それでも私は | Nagasarete soredemo watashi wa | Though carried off, even so, I |
| かけがえない人たちと 生きてゆきます | kakegae nai hitotachi to ikite yukimasu | will go on living with people I could never replace. |
| この灯火きえるまで 生きてゆきます | Kono tomoshibi kieru made ikite yukimasu |
Until this light goes out, I will go on living. |
| それが私の 答えなんです | Sore ga watashi no kotae na n desu |
That is my answer. |
