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"
