進んでく君の後ろ姿

怖いと思ってしまったんだ

知らない誰かのようで

like you're someone I don't know.

伸びて行く距離に

nobite yuku kyori ni

With the growing distance,

心まで離れるようで

kokoro made hanareru yō de

it seems like our very hearts become separate.

I'm worried, my heart races,

それでもまだ此処で

soredemo mada koko de

It hurts, it hurts, that we

誓ってたんだ僕たちは

who vowed to be together

このまま離れてしまうのか

kono mama hanarete shimau no ka

should separate like this?

時間は止められない

Time can't stop.

いたいいたい　このままでいたい

I want, I want to stay like this.

弱い弱い僕にそっと

To someone weak, weak like me,

二度と会うことのない予感だけ

残して　行く

Can you still see the path we took?

気づけばずいぶん歩いてきた

If you notice, we've come a long way.

時間てのは容赦ないもので

jikan te no wa yōsha nai mono de

Time is a merciless thing

子供のまんま大人にされた

that made us adults while we're still children.

君の話は聞いているよ

kimi no hanashi wa kiite iru yo

I'm listening to what you have to say

今も元気に過ごしてるようで

ima mo genki ni sugoshite'ru yō de

like I'm still having a good time.

何でかな嬉しいのに

nande ka na ureshii no ni

Why is it? Although you're happy,

影を落としてしまう心

kage o otoshite shimau kokoro

you cast a shadow on my heart.

彷徨さまよいながらでも

Even while we were wandering,

ここまで何とか歩いてきた

koko made nantoka aruite kita

we've somehow walked this far.

まだ何処かで期待している

mada dokoka de kitai shite iru

”また君に会えるかな”

It hurts, it hurts, that we

誓ってたのに僕たちは

chikatte'ta no ni bokutachi wa

who vowed to be together

別々の道を進むこと

Somewhere ahead on this road where no one knows,

いつかこの命は尽きるだろう
