translation Because you suddenly said, “it’s alright to cry” I was somehow happy and smiled without a tear
Unfortunately, I’ve hurt you with overly clumsy words Nevertheless you haven’t left me You keep supporting me even now, surely…
The wishes and dreams I want to fulfill, all the feelings I want to send out That in which I keep believing, summons a miracle and gets connected to the future I want to watch over you, always, yes always Dear my friends
Because you told me, “you will be alright”, at the time of our parting The loneliness I felt, disappeared beautifully with those few words
Opening a new door is something everyone is afraid of But when I remember how you've always encouraged me I am filled with strength
I won’t surrender my honest feelings, all these honest words If I can convey them with my voice, the future will spread out Because you are in my heart, forever, yes forever Dear my friends
Even if I stop or seem to forget I vow that I will always keep moving forward The sky above me is shining its light Until the day I can meet you
I won’t surrender my honest feelings, all these honest words If I can convey them with my voice, the future will spread out
The wishes and dreams I want to fulfill, all the feelings I want to send out That in which I keep believing, summons a miracle and gets connected to the future I want to watch over you, always, yes always Dear my friends
