Natsu no yuugure o mitsumeteru namanurui kaze no naka hitori
dokoka de hashaideiru koe ga kikoeteita
kimi to ita nagai tsukihi wa doko made mo owaru koto wa naku
egao no mukou aruiteyukeru ki ga shita no ga kinou no you
    Staring at the summer twilight, alone in a lukewarm wind
    I could hear some lively voices from somewhere
    The long time spent with you, would never come to an end
    It seems like yesterday I felt beyond my smile we could walk on

Muishiki ni omoikaeshiteru jibun ni ki ga tsuita boku wa
nani mo kawarenai mama de tachidomatte...
    Unconciously I thought back on it, I who realized how I am
    Unable to change anything I hesitated...

Kimi ga tarinai hibi mada narenai mama koko made sugoshitekita
imasara mata kimi o sagashiteru kono mune ni sasatta mama no ai no kakera
    I came this far unable to get used to the days that didn't have enough of you
    Even now, I'm still searching for you, fragments of love still stuck in this heart

doshaburi no ame mo furazu ni usui mizuiro no sora no hi
ekimae ano chiisana mise de owari ni shita
sameteiku koucha no naka ni ukabi agaru mado no keshiki wa
omoide kurai amaku nigakute setsunai hodo moeteita
    Without even a downpour of rain, on a day when the sky was pale sky-blue
    We ended things in that small cafe in front of the station
    The scene that rose to the surface of my tea as it grew cold was
    At least in my memories, sweetly, bitterly, burned so much it was painful

Tsutaetai koto ga nanimo kamo machigatte itta ano koro ni
modoreru nara ima sugu ni modoritakute...
    To that time when no matter what I wanted to tell you it came out wrong
    If I can return to it then right now, I want to go back...

Kizuiteita tada sunao ni naretara kotae wa hitotsu ni naru
yobikakereba mada kimi ni koe ga todoku you na ikuate no nai ai no kotoba
    I realized, if I had just been honest with myself the answer would have been just one
    If I call out, just as if my voice can still reach you, they're just words of love with nowhere to go

Bou tto shiteru to "A..." mata da
ano toki no egao ima mo mada
(1)
koe mata kodama okashii no ka na...
kimochi to wa mada mada sakasama (ha...)
    When I space out, "Ah..." again
    The smile from that time even now, still
    An echo of your voice again, I wonder if it's strange...
    My feelings are still, still upside down (ha...)

Yakei no kirei na toko to ka itte
arikitari no kotoba to ka itte
shisen awasenai mama mo kata ni te
"nanka itte" komatte itteta na anata ga...
    We even went to a place with a beautiful night view
    We even talked of ordinary things
    Still unable to meet eyes, my hand on your shoulder
    "Say something" troubled, you said it, didn't you, that you...

Toorisugiteku kisetsu ga kimi o tooku e tsureteyuku yo
Toorisugiteku kisetsu ni boku wa nani o mitsukeru no darou
    The seasons passing by take you far away
    In the seasons passing by, I wonder what I will find

Kimi ga tarinai hibi mada narenai mama kokomade sugoshitekita
imasara mata kimi o sagashiteru kono mune ni sasatta mama no ai no kakera
    I came this far unable to get used to the days that didn't have enough of you
    Even now, I'm still searching for you, fragments of love still stuck in this heart

Kowareta mama no ai no kakera
    Fragments of love still broken

Notes;
1) Where he sings 'ima' (now) is the kanji for 'genzai' (the present)
