The fact that I laughed in the world in which you lived is
The fact that I cursed the future what you saw is
Your voice, warmth, behavior and all your love is…
On the streets by the sea
We stepped along the railroad painted rusted red,
And the two of us lied to each other “we’re happy.”
You smiled gloomily, and we fastened our hands together,
Watching the faraway island; a brilliant sky with a morning glow
The fact that I cannot love you enough,
The fact that the weak was with us I cried along with you –
These things won’t ever be replaced; they’re special
The day we could forgive each other is too
And that fact that the two of us cannot meet tomorrow as it comes
Let’s hide these facts forever, yes . . . forever
Let’s hide them away forever
Even now, I’m still searching for the one thing
That will reach the one you who was left behind
“Are you doing well?”
“Has your smile withered off your face yet?”
“Are you now able to fall deeply, deeply in love with someone ?”
I locked away my wish to spending my days
With a key
At the faraway island,
With clouded birds at the water’s edge
Behind the little cottage decorated with ferns
Let’s again make a childish promise to run away
More than both of us being unsatisfied
I’ll only warm up the conclusion which we wished for
To the me who only saw nightmares,
That was how it seemed
Even just forgiving, even just sticking it out ‘till the end is
Surely, yes . . . surely
Is certainly what no one can change
My fear of hurting you grew so strong
That I cannot live any longer
Do you still remember?
When we first met, and
your lies, your dependency on others,
and your weakness are as if they are being washed away
In this morning glow, you are once again, just like that day
Becoming lovely
We sang of love, and we kicked the earth
While saying “this is the worst” even the ending of suicide
Was incomplete and become unreliable
Hey kick it hard and it’ll be gone
Years will pass; follow a voice
If you are ever reborn
Then let me meet you immediately
I loved you
Until the end, until this day
Even so, am I the one who shall end everything ?
I only wish that you’ll, one day, be happy
To the fact that I laughed in the world in which you lived
The fact that I cursed the future which you saw
To your voice, warmth, behavior and all of your love . . .
さようなら
In case you didn't know, さようなら means "the wishing of farewell to someone" or "good-bye"
