Mukuchi na hito, kiki wa shiroku, rekishi no fukai te ni hikarete
osanai hi no kaeri michi, rin to naru hukuji o isogu
gaito no shita hirahira to, kogoeru hoho ni maichiru yuki
me o tojireba mukashi no mama, kibishikutemo hibi tsuyoku ikiteru mono yo
    Silent people, white breath, hands pulled deeply into history (1)
    The road home in childhood days, ringing with biting cold, I hurry down the snowy path (2)
    Fluttering under the streetlights, the snow that dances upon freezing cheeks
    If you close your eyes, just like long ago, a person who can live strongly in the most severe days

Itsuka futari de ikitai ne yuki ga tsumoru koro ni
umareta machi no ano shirosa o, anata ni mo misetai
aitai kara, koishikute, anata o omou hodo
samui yoru wa, mada mune no oku, kane no ne ga kikoeru
    Someday I'd like to go together, during the time when the snow builds
    I want to show you the whiteness of my hometown
    Because I want to see you, I love you, more than just thinking of you
    On cold nights, still in the bottom of my heart, I can hear the bells chime

Noshikakaru kumo no miagete, toki no hayasa no nagare ni tou
daremo ga idaku kanashimi no, chuuchakueki wa doko ni aru no ka
idamari, fureru sakamichi de, wakasa no maboroshi to deai
< genki desu> no hitogoto ni natsukashisa yori mo, tomadoi tachidomaru
    Looking up to the building clouds, I question the speed of time's flow
    Where is the terminal station of the sadness anyone embraces?
    Hurting, on the wavering uphill path, I met the mirage of youth
    More than the nostalgia of that "I'm well" I stood still in confusion

Sugisarishi yo ni yureru hana, tooku o mitsumeteta
tsumetai kaze ni sarasareta ai wa ano hi kara ugokenai
aitai kara, aenai yoru ni wa, anata o omou hodo
omoide ni wa, futari ga aruita ashiato o nokoshite...
    The wavering flower that passes the world by, I watched it from afar
    Held by a cold wind, love can't move from that day
    Because I want to see you, on nights we can't meet, more than just thinking of you
    In memories our footprints remain...

Furitsuzuku shiroi yuki wa, kokoromoyou, sotto
toutou to shiroi yuki wa, mujou naru hito no yo o
subete  yurusu you ni furitsuzuiteyuku
    The continually falling white snow is, designing my heart, softly
    The swift white snow, as if it's forgiving everything of
    the world of uncertain people, it keeps falling

Itsuka futari de ikitai ne yuki ga tsumoru koro ni
umareta machi no ano shirosa o, anata ni mo misetai
aitai kara, koishikute, anata o omou hodo
samui yoru wa, mada mune no oku, kane no ne ga kikoeru
    Someday I'd like to go together, during the time when the snow builds
    I want to show you the whiteness of my hometown
    Because I want to see you, I love you, more than just thinking of you
    On cold nights, still in the bottom of my heart, I can hear the bells chime

Aitai kara, aenai yoru ni wa, anata o omou hodo
omoide ni wa, futari ga aruita ashiato o nokoshite...
    Because I want to see you, on nights we can't meet, more than just thinking of you
    In memories our footprints remain...

Notes;
1) where they sing 'hito' which means 'people' they have written 'gunjaku' which means a large crowd
2) what they are describing on the last part of this line is the crunching sound snow makes in very low temperatures
