Sayonara o chuucho mo naku
nagetsukete yume otta hibi
unuboreta boku wa
ai o mamoru yuuki o okubyou to yonda
    Good-bye with no hesitation
    is what I threw out the days I chased my dreams
    I who was so conceited
    called the courage to protect love 'cowardice'

Natsukashii futari no machi
kobamu you na ame ni utare
wasurerarenai n da...
koishii omoi ni makete boku wa kita
    That nostalgic town of ours
    Struck by the rain as though it was rejecting me
    I can't forget...
    I lost to the memory I yearned for, and came here

Anata mo ai mo okizari ni
kono machi o suteta ano hi ni
modoreru hazu wa nai keredo
Aa... aitai
    I left you and love behind
    There's no way I can return to
    that day I abandoned this town but
    Ah... I miss you

Itooshii hito ... sore wa hidamari
itooshii hito ... sore wa itami
sou dare demo nai
anata ga inai basho ni
yume wa nai...
    My precious one... that is a ray of sunlight
    My precious one... that is pain
    That's right, it's no one
    In this place without you
    There are no dreams...

Iki'isogu kisetsu datta
furimuita oboe ga nai
ano hi furikaereba
anata ga kakusu namida mo... mieta no ni
    Those were fast-moving seasons
    I have no memory of turning around
    Had I looked back on that day
    I would have seen... the tears you hid

Shiawase de ite hoshikattari
mattete ite hoshikattari
kizutsuketa no wa boku dake de
dou ka ite hoshii...
    Wishing for you to be happy
    Wishing for you to be waiting
    Wishing dearly for
    I to be the only one who was hurt...

Yume de wa
anata o
dakenai
    In dreams
    I can't
    hold you

Anata o boku wa okizari ni
kono machi ni suteta saiai
wasureru koto nado dekinai
aa... anata o
    I left you behind
    My beloved I abandoned in this town
    There's no way I could ever forget
    Ah... about you

Taiyou o kakusu you na
ano kumo o kirisakitai
soshite mou ichido
boku no mune no hidamari
dakishimeyou...
kitto... hanasanai
    I want to cut away those clouds
    like they're hiding the sun
    And then once more
    the ray of sunlight on my chest
    I'll hold her close...
    and surely... never let go
