あなたがここを出て行く日

Anata ga koko o dete yuku hi

The day you left here

長い夢が叶ったんだね

nagai yume ga kanatta n da ne

you fulfilled a long dream.

少しぎこちない装いで

Sukoshi gikochinai yosooi de

Stiffly dressed

希望にあふれた瞳（め）をしてた

kibō ni afureta me o shite'ta

your eyes were filled with hope.

頑張っておいてとかけた言葉

Ganbatte oite to kaketa kotoba

The words you told me, to do my best,

私は無理して笑っていた

watashi wa muri shite waratte ita

I forced a smile.

あなたに気づかれないように

Anata ni kizukarenai yō ni

So that you wouldn't notice,

そっと目線をそらす

sotto mesen o sorasu

I looked the other way.

周囲まわりの人は輝いていて

Mawari no hito wa kagayaite ite

The people around me were shining,

自分だけ薄汚れて見えてしまう

jibun dake usuyogorete miete shimau

while only I look unclean.

それでも諦めたくなかった

Sore de mo akirametaku nakatta

Even so, I didn't want to give up, because

あの頃の二人　取り戻したいから

Ano koro no futari torimodoshitai kara

I wanted to go back to how the two of us were back then.

やっと今　あなたに追いつける

Yatto ima anata ni oitsukeru

Now at last I can catch up to you.

決して短い時間じゃなかったけれど

Keshite mijikai jikan ja nakatta keredo

It was by no means a short time, but

あの時　無理して口にした言葉が

ano toki muri shite kuchi ni shita kotoba ga

the words I forced myself to say back then

素直な気持ちに変わる　おめでとう

sunao na kimochi ni kawaru Omedetō

have changed into a genuine feeling. Congratulations.

一番に喜んでくれる

Ichiban ni yorokonde kureru

You were the first to be glad for me,

あなたを見て判（わか）ったんだ

anata o mite wakatta n da

and seeing you, I understood.

寂しかったのは私だけじゃない

Sabishikatta no wa watashi dake ja nai

I wasn't the only one who was lonely.

その笑顔が全てを教えてくれた

Sono egao ga subete o oshiete kureta

That smile told me everything.

長い間　待たせてごめんね

Nagai aida matasete gomen ne

Sorry for keeping you waiting so long.

途中で先が見えない事もあった

Tochū de saki ga mienai koto mo atta

There were even times along the way when I couldn't see the way ahead.

あの時　互いにすれ違った目線

Ano toki tagai ni surechigatta mesen

When we both diverted our eyes that time,

あなたも合わせられないでいたんだ

anata mo awaserarenaide ita n da

you couldn't look at me either.

やっと今　あなたに追いつける

Yatto ima anata ni oitsukeru

Now at last I'll catch up to you.

決して短い道のりじゃなかった

Keshite mijikai michinori ja nakatta

It was by no means a short journey.

あの時無理して　溶けていった言葉が

Ano toki muri shite tokete itta kotoba ga

Those words that time that I could barely say,

あなたの口から　意味を変えて

anata no kuchi kara imi o kaete

you say them with your own lips with a new meaning.

私の心に届く

Watashi no kokoro ni todoku

It reaches my heart.

「おめでとう」

"Omedetō"

"Congratulations."
