Kanji:

握りしめた手をほどいたなら
たぶんこれですべてが今終わってしまう

知りたかったこと　傷つくことさえも
何ひとつ　やり残したままで

あなたが出会う幸せを願いたいはずなのに
できない未熟な自分に　拭いても涙が出る

さよなら
愛してる　あなたを誰より
宙(そら)よりも深く
泣かないで
また会おうね
でも会えないこと　私だけ知っているの

こんな運命をえらんだこと
いつかあなたにも本当の意味が分かるわ

二人作った記憶の宝
ずっと心の隠れ家で生きてくよ

きれい事だと思ってた希望という言葉を
苦しいくらい抱きしめてあなたを見上げている

ありがとう
愛している　あなたを誰より
夢よりも強く
抱きしめて　離さないで
だけど一言も　伝えられないで . . .

泣かないで　愛している
遠く離れてても
あなたと生きてゆける

English:

If I let go of your hand clasped in mine,

with that, it would all probably come to an end right now.

What I wanted to know, and even what hurts me-

even those were left undone.

Even though I should want to wish

for you to find happiness,

I can't, I'm too immature.

I wipe the tears, but they still keep flowing.

Sayonara.

I love you

more than anyone else.

Even more deeply than the sky.

Don't cry.

We'll meet again, right?

But not being able to see you

is something that only I know about.

This fate that we've chosen...

someday you too will understand its true meaning.

The treasure of memories that we've made

will always live on deep inside my heart.

I thought it was a beautiful thing,

the word called hope.

In an almost painful embrace,

I'm looking up at you.

Arigatou.

I love you

more than anyone else.

Even more strongly than dreams.

Hold me.

Don't let go.

But don't utter

even a single thing...

Don't cry.

I love you.

Even though we're separated far apart,

I can still live with you.
