Totsuzen no tayori de bikkuri shiteimasu
hisashiburi gobusata desu
boku wa genki de yatteimasu
kousuru ni aikawarazu desu
    I'm surprised at the sudden news
    It's been a long time, we've lost touch
    I'm doing fine
    Basically, it's the same as ever

Ikutsuka no kisetsu o meguttekita bun dake
sorezore no michi wa hanare nazeka fushigi to ima ni natte
kimi no koto ga wakarimasu
    Our share of the seasons only came and went
    We went our separate paths, and now it all seems mysterious somehow
    I understand about you

Mienai kedo kiete mo nai
miyou na kyori ga kokochi ii desu
    Unseen but not gone
    This odd distance is a good feeling

Itsumo omoidasu to ka wasuresatteshimau to ka dochira demo naku
yokei na kimochi wa nakute
ooki na ai no you na mono dake ga aru you na ii kanji desu
    I'm always remembering, forgetting and moving on, and yet neither
    It's not an excessive feeling
    Only as if I've got something like a great love-like good feeling

Doko made koreta to ka ato dore kurai to ka wakaranai mama desu kedo
ano koro ni kimi ni hanashiteta michi o mada aruitemitemasu
    How far can I go, how much longer, I still don't understand but
    I still go and see that street where I spoke with you

Yurushitari warattari ima naraba futsuu ni dekiru koto mo fuemashita
"ano koro ni moshi..." nante koto wa kangaenai you ni shitemasu
    Forgiving and laughing, things normal now, and things I can do have increased
    "If back then..." is something I act as though I can't think of

Furikaeitai wake dewa naku
ima no kimi ni ima no boku kara
    This isn't an excuse to look back
    To the you of now, from the me of now

Hon no sasayaka desu ga
katte ni desu ga eeru o okutte ii desu ka?
michi no tochuu de chanto mune o hatteru boku kara
genki na kimi ni okuritai no wa...
    It's not much but
    Selfish but, is it alright to yell?
    If someday in the streets clearly from me who's straining his heart
    to you who's just fine, what I want to send it...

Tsumari kono tabi no koto omedetou gozaimasu
hontou yokatta
chotto namaiki desu ga ooki na totemo ooki na imi de no ai de
kimi ni sachi are!
    In short, about this journey, congratulations
    It's really great
    It's a little conceited but, in a big- very big meaningful love
    I wish you happiness!
