tegami ga todoitara
fuu wo kirazu ni
sotto shimatte oite
toki ga tateba
boku no ima no kimochi
kitto wakaru hazu sa
saisho de saigo no onegai
When you get my letter,
quietly put it away
without breaking the seal
When time passes,
I suppose you'll know
the feelings I have now...
That's my first and last wish.

yasashiku nareru hodo
tsuyoku mo nakute
hitamuki ni oroka ni
dakishimeatta ne ^[1]
tasogare semaru koro
koko wo saru senaka ni
tooku no mado kara yuuki no
ya wo iru yo
Not too strong,
so much that it could be gentle,
we held each other ^[1]
earnestly, foolishly
When the twilight draws near,
I shoot arrows of courage
from a far-away window
at your back as you leave here.

sotto wa ame ga
mada yamazu ni
nurete'ru hitobito to machi ga
sore demo taiyou shinjite'ru
furui MERODI-
nijimu SHIRUETTO
yawa na ikizama ja totemo
e ni wa naranai ne ^[2]
The gentle rain
still not stopping,
the soaked people and town
nevertheless, believe in the sun
An old melody,
a blurred silhouette
A weak way of life
really isn't cool, you know? ^[2]

MA-KYURO nutta ato no ^[3]
shimiru kanji
sonna natsukashisa ni
afureta hibi
demo furimukanaide
kimi ga kimeta michi wa
kimi shika shiranai yoake ni tsudzuite'ru
The penetrating/soaking feeling
after being tinged with Mercurochrome... ^[3]
The days were filled
with such nostalgia...
But don't turn away...
The road you chose
leads to a dawn that only you know.

wasurete kure
ima mo kimi e no omoi wa
arashi ga sakamaku yoru no umi
musebi naite
mure hanareta
samayou futari no shirube wa
"kibou" no futa-moji sa
Please don't forget.
Please forget.
Even now, my feelings for you
are the sea in a night of surging storms
choked up with tears and crying,
separated from the group
what guides us when we wander
are the letters of "hope."

aisuru hito ni wa itsumo terete ienai kedo
hontou wa daremo ga tsutaetai kokoro no koe yo
ima koso todoke ^[4]
I can't say it in words, but
the voice of my heart
will now (finally) reach you. ^[4]

An old melody,
