Working until late every day

Watashi o koko made hitori de sodatete kureta

You brought me up by yourself so far

どんなに疲れてても　弱音一つ吐かずに

Donna ni tsukarete'te mo yowane hitotsu hakazu ni

No matter how tired you were, you never once complained

いつでも微笑み続けてくれました

but you always continued to give me a smile

些細なことで喧嘩けんかして　すぐに家を飛び出して

Over a trivial argument, I dashed out of the house

あなたの悲しい顔が忘れられなくて

The first time I confided my dream to you, you said nothing
