Lyrics

• Japanese
• English

Japanese	Romaji	English
街の明かりが　灯り始めて	machi no akari ga tomorihajimete	As the town's night illumination begins to light up,
微かに震える　夜を彷徨い歩く	kasuka ni furueru yoru o samayoi aruku	I wander about in this faintly flickering night.
懐かしいのは　この街並みだけじゃなく	natsukashii no wa kono machinami dake ja naku	What feels nostalgic to me is not just the townscape,
明日に傾けてた想い	ashita ni katamuketeta omoi	but also my feelings that I steered towards tomorrow.
いつかはきっと叶うと	itsuka wa kitto kanau to	Without fearing anything, I firmly believed
何にも恐れず　信じてた	nan ni mo osorezu shinjiteta	that it would one day come true--
あなたがいる　未来だけが	anata ga iru mirai dake ga	a future where you and I could stay together
わたしのすべてだった	watashi no subete datta	was the only thing that I wanted and needed.
融け始めてく　過去の記憶に	tokehajimeteku kako no kioku ni	On that day, I shed tears
触れてはこぼれる　あの日流した涙	furete wa koboreru ano hi nagashita namida	to my past memories that were starting to melt.
笑顔に隠した弱さ	egao ni kakushita yowasa	I spent my days hiding my weakness behind my smile,
知られないように 過ごしてた	shirarenai you ni sugoshiteta	so that no one would notice it.
うつむいてた　あの日だけは	utsumuiteta ano hi dake wa	I cast my eyes down;
今でも火傷のまま	ima de mo yakedo no mama	that day remained a burn wound even today.
流れてゆく時間の	nagarete yuku jikan no	Being rocked in the waves
波に揺られて	nami ni yurarete	of the flowing time,
交わした　瞳の	kawashita hitomi no	we embrace our dream
奥に夢を抱いて	oku ni yume o idaite	deeply embedded in each other's eyes.
いつまでも続いてゆく	itsu made mo tsuzuite yuku	We will go on forever.
生まれ変わってもまた逢える	umarekawatte mo mata aeru	In our next life we will meet again.
二人がいた　証は今	futari ga ita akashi wa ima	The proof of our time spent together
時間のゆりかごの中	jikan no yurikago no naka	is within the cradle of time.

English translation by animeyay

Inside a city of lights　As they started twinkling by
I subtly start to tremble　As I walk through the night from place to place
Nostalgia has come again　While I gaze the cityscape for so much more
Feelings that I am steering towards a tomorrow

Someday I'm sure this dream really will come true
Furthermore I believe there's not anything to fear
In a future where you and I stay together
That is the only thing I want and need

As it starts to melt away the memories of the past
I felt an urge touching my heart　On that day I had cried so many tears

Those weaknesses I kept hidden in a smile
I spent some time making sure they would never be know
Though on that day I found we kept on going down
Even now it remains a burning wound

Passing by gently with the flow of time
Being thrown around in waves
It's embedded deep in our eyes
In the back of a dream we both embrace

The feelings we share will go on forever
And when we are reborn I am sure we'll meet again
Proof of the love we had coming together now
Resting gently so in a cradle of time
