*** English Translation ***
In the twilight, small shadows frolic and
go past me as they go and return on their road home.
That day with you, in this kind of scenery,
we gave and exchanged our treasures for only the two of us.
The promise that was tied up in our hearts, even now, even now,
I embrace it with all my might. There will be a day when
I'll meet you and then (that promise) will be fulfilled. For that day,
as I believe in it, I will be idling away.
I wonder where you could possibly be about now.
I wonder if the promise we had with each other is still in your heart.
The season pass by but
that time is unchanging. I'm yearning for you.
Even if your face fades away, even now, even now,
in the center of my heart,
I keep the promise alive.
Be strong, "my heart" "my heart"
For the thing that had us bound,
as I believe in it, I'll be waiting.
I want to softly ask about the promise that we could have met.
That day, the two of us,
If we could go back to that time somehow,
"promise" me one more time
okay? As I believe in it, I'll be praying.
Translation Notes
In second verse, the "taisetsu ni idaite" literally means "I embrace it importantly" but I chose a similar phrase for it in the translation.
