sono mukou ni saita hana wa
warau you ni tada kirei de
iki o tomete nemuru kimi wa
sono egao o sakaseta mama…
“arigatou” to boku wa tsugeta
itsumo no you ni ano hi no you ni
“sayonara” no imi o shireba
kono kokoro ga kudake sou de
tada sunao ni sono kokoro ni
sono egao ni furetai kara
afuredasu namida koraete kimi o mitsumete wa
eien o negai tsuzuketa hibi o kasaneteku
kagiri aru koto dakara sono me ni kagayaita?
kagirinai kokoro to sono kokoro o tsunaide yo
itsumo itsu demo soba ni itai yo to
kurikaesu hodo ni sono te ni nigiru toutosa ga
todokanai koe wa ima shizuka ni hohoende
subete o kobande me o tojita
sono keshiki wa uso ni tokete
katachi no aru kagiri no aru
sono sugata wa itsuka kuchite
katachi no nai kagiri no nai
kono kokoro wa dousureba ii?
tada sunao ni mou futari de
aruku koto wa dekinai kara
afuredasu namida koraete sora o miagete wa
eien o negai tsuzukete kimi o sagashiteru
kagiri aru mono dake ga kono me ni kagayaite
kagirinai kodou o sono kodou o ataete yo
itsumo itsu demo soba ni itai yo to
kurikaesu hodo ni sono te ni nigiru orokasa ga
modorenai hibi wa ima shizuka ni hohoende
subete o kobande me o tojita

afuredasu namida koraete namida koraete kimi o mitsumeteta
eien o negai tsuzukete koko ni ikite iru

kagirinai kokoro to sono kokoro o tsunaide yo
itsumo itsu demo soba ni irunda yo
afuredasu namida omoi wa ima toki o koete
katachi nai mono dake ga shizuka ni irozuita
kagiri aru toki no sono naka de
sukoshi dake kokoro ni furete

The flowers that bloomed on the other side
Are only as beautiful as your laugh
Your breath ceases and you sleep
As your smiling face blossomed…
“Thank you”, I told you
As usual, like on that day
Knowing the meaning of “goodbye”,
My heart seems to be crushed
In all honesty because I want
To touch your heart and smiling face,
Resisting the overflowing tears and staring at you
I hoped it would continue forever, repeating every day
Did your eyes sparkle because those things are finite?
My infinite heart and your heart connect
I want to be close to you forever and always
The pricelessness of repeatedly grasping your hand
The voice that no longer reaches out now quietly smiles
I denied it all and closed my eyes
Melt this scene into an untruth
With a shape, Without infinity
Your figure will someday decay
With no shape, with infinity
My heart, what is it to do?
In all honesty, because we
Can’t walk together anymore
Resisting the overflowing tears and looking up at the sky
I continue to hope forever, searching for you
Only the finite things sparkle in my eyes
An infinite heartbeat, that heartbeat, I give to you
I want to be close to you forever and always
The foolishness of repeatedly grasping your hand
The days that can no longer return now quietly smile
I denied it all and closed my eyes
I see this scene as an untruth
Repeating, repeating
In a finite time
But you, reflected in my heart,
Why do you laugh? Hey…
Resisting the overflowing tears
―Resisting the overflowing tears and staring at you―
―I continue to hope forever, living here―
―Your eyes sparkled because those things are finite―
―My infinite heart and your heart connect―
―I will be close to you forever and always―
The overflowing tears and emotions are now beyond time
Only the formless things quietly turned colour
In a finite time
I just barely touch your heart
