I have the words you gave me...I’ll walk, I’ll walk.

Aruite ikou aruite ikou
Boku wa “ima” wo ikite iku yo
Kimi ga kureta kotoba wa koko ni aru yo
Sou da yo aruite ikou
[I’ll walk, I’ll walk
I’ll live in the present
I have the words you gave me
Yes, I’ll walk]

Hodoukyou no mukou ni fuyu no machi ga mieta yo
Hito kakera no kodoku wo te ni boku wa asu wo tsunaide iru
“Kokoro de waraeru kana” itsuka no koe ni kikoeta
Shiroi iki ga sora ni kieru
Sabishiku wa nai eki e isogu yo
[Beyond the pedestrian bridge, I see the winter city
I’m crossing to tomorrow with a piece of loneliness in my hand
“Can you smile in your heart?” I hear a voice from one day
My white breath disappears into the sky
I’m not alone; I hurry to the station]

“Kaeranai to kimetan da”
Hajimari wo tsugeru you ni yuki ga furihajimeta
[“I’ve decided I won’t go home”
Like the sign of a new beginning, the snow has begun to fall]

Aruite ikou aruite ikou
Boku wa “ima” wo ikite iku yo
Kizu tsuitemo nandomo shinjitai yo
Kono te wo kono hibi wo
Kimi to naite kimi to waratte
Boku wa tsuyoku naretan darou
Kimi ga kureta kotoba wa koko ni aru yo
Sou da yo aruite ikou
[I’ll walk, I’ll walk
I’ll live in the present
Even if I get hurt, I want to believe again and again
In this hand, in these days
Crying with you, laughing with you
Has made me stronger
I have the words you gave me
Yes, I’ll walk]

Taguriyoseta kibou ga nukumori wo daiteru
Ai wo yuruseru tsuyosa wa kimi ga boku ni tsutaeta koto
[The hope I pulled close is giving me warmth
You gave me the strength to open myself to love]

“Aenakutemo wakatteru yo”
Ima no boku wa ano hi no kimi ni mune wo hareru no kana

[“Even if I can’t see you, I’ll know”
Can I look back to you on that day and be proud?]


Ureshii koto kanashii koto
Sono subete wo wasurenai yo
Hitotsu hitotsu kokoro wo terashite iru
Sou da yo “hitori” ja nai
[The happy things, the sad things
I won’t forget any of them
Each and every one is lighting up my heart
Yes, I’m not “alone”]

Sayonara sae arigatou sae
Mou kimi ni wa ienai kedo
"Kisetsu" wa ima tashika ni kawatte iku
Sou da yo hajimeru yo
[I can’t even say goodbye or thank you
To you now
But the season is definitely changing now
Yes, I’ll start now]

Aruite ikou aruite ikou
Boku wa “ima” wo ikite iku yo
Kimi ga kureta kotoba wa koko ni aru yo
Sou da yo aruite ikou
[I’ll walk, I’ll walk
I’ll live in the present
I have the words you gave me
Yes, I’ll walk]

I realize regrettably how hopeless I am and that’s my loss...


Kokoro no ana wo umetai kara
Yasashii furi shite waratta
Deai to wakare ga sewashiku
boku no kata wo kakete yukuyo
[I wanted to fill the hole in my heart so 
I pretended to be nice and smiled
First meetings and final farewells 
Restlessly pile up on my shoulder]

Dame na jibun ga kuyashii hodo
wakatte shimau kara son da
Tsuyoku wa nari kirenai kara
tada me wo tsubutte taeteta
[I realize regrettably how hopeless 
I am and that’s my loss
I can’t be stronger so 
I closed my eyes and put up with it]

Hora miete kuru yo
[Look, I can see it now]

Kaeritaku natta yo
kimi ga matsu machi e
Ookiku te wo futte kuretara
nando demo furikaesu kara
Kaeritaku natta yo
kimi ga matsu ie ni
Kiite hoshii hanashi ga aru yo
waratte kuretara ureshii na
[I want to go home now, back to the city where you wait for me
Give me a big wave hello and I’ll return it just as big
I want to go home now, back to the house where you wait for me
I’ve got a story I want you to hear and 
I’ll be glad if it makes you smile]

Taisetsu na koto ha kazoeru hodo
aru wake jyanainda kitto
Kujikete shimau hi mo aru kedo
nakidasu koto nante mou nai
[I’m sure I can’t count everything that’s precious to me
There might be days when 
I stumble but I won’t cry anymore]

Hora miete kuru yo
[Look, I can see it now]

Tsutaetaku natta yo
boku ga miru asu wo
Daijyoubu dayotte so iu kara
nandodemo kurikaesukara
Tsutaetaku natta yo
kawaranai yume wo
Kiite hoshii hanashi ga aru yo
unazuite kuretara ureshii na
[I want to tell you now, all about the tomorrow I see
I’m doing just fine, I’ll keep telling you as long as it takes
I want to tell you now, 
all about my steadfast dream
I’ve got a story I want you to hear and 
I’ll be glad if you nod your approval]

Kaeritaku natta yo
kimi ga matsu machi e
Kakegae no nai sono te ni ima
mou ichido tsutaetai kara
Kaeritaku natta yo
kimi ga matsu ie ni
Kiite hoshii hanashi ga aru yo
waratte kuretara ureshii na
[I want to go home now, 
back to the city where you wait for me
I’ll grab that irreplaceable hand now 
and tell you once more
I want to go home now, 
back to the house where you wait for me
I’ve got a story I want you to hear and 
I’ll be glad if it makes you smile]

Those days I dreamed of on that distant spring day... Disappear into the sky


Sakura hirahira mai orite ochite
Yureru omoi no take wo dakishimeta
Kimi to haru ni negai shi ano yume wa
Ima mo miete iru yo sakura mai chiru
[The cherry blossoms fell, fluttering down
Embracing every bit of my fluttering love
Even now, I’m dreaming the dream I prayed for with you that spring
The cherry blossoms scatter]

Densha kara mieta no wa
Itsuka no omokage
Futari de kayotta haru no oohashi
Sotsugyou no toki ga kite
Kimi wa machi wo deta
Iroduku kawabe ni ano hi wo sagasu no
[From the train I could see
The traces of one day

The big bridge we crossed together

Graduation time came
And you left town
On the colourful riverbank, I search for that day]

Sorezore no michi wo erabi
Futari wa haru wo oeta
Saki hokoru mirai wa
Atashi wo aserasete
Odakyuusen no mado ni
Kotoshi mo sakura ga utsuru
Kimi no koe ga kono mune ni
Kikoete kuru yo
[We went our separate ways
And brought our spring to an end
My future is in full bloom
But it fills me with panic
This year, once again, the cherry blossoms are reflected
In the window of the Odakyuu train
In my heart
I hear your voice]

Sakura hirahira mai orite ochite
Yureru omoi no take wo dakishimeta
Kimi to haru ni negai shi ano yume wa
Ima mo miete iru yo sakura mai chiru
[The cherry blossoms fell, fluttering down
Embracing every bit of my fluttering love
Even now, I’m dreaming the dream I prayed for with you that spring
The cherry blossoms scatter]

Kaki kaketa tegami ni wa
“Genki de iru yo” to
Chiisa na uso wa misuka sareru ne
Meguri yuku kono machi mo
Haru wo ukeirete
Kotoshi moa no hana ga tsubomi wo hiraku
[The start of my letter to you
Says “I’m doing OK”
You’ll see through that little lie, won’t you?
Even the town going past
Is taking in the spring
The flowers are opening their buds again this year]

Kimi ga inai hibi wo koete
Atashi mo otona ni natteiku
Kouyatte subete wasurete iku no ka na
“Hontou ni suki dattanda”
Sakura ni te wo nobasu
Kono omoi ga ima haru ni tsutsumarete iku yo
[I’ll get through these days without you
And I, too, will grow up
Will I forget everything?
“I really loved you”
I hold out my hands to the cherry blossoms
Now my love is wrapped in the spring]

Sakura hirahira mai orite ochite
Yureru omoi no take wo daki yoseta
Kimi ga kureshi tsuyoki ano kotoba wa
Ima mo mune ni nokoru sakura mai yuku
[The cherry blossoms fell, fluttering down
Embracing every bit of my fluttering love
Even now, the strong words you gave me
Remain in my heart; the cherry blossoms dance]

Sakura hirahira mai orite ochite
Yureru omoi no take wo dakishimeta
Tooki haru ni yumemi shi ano hibi wa
Sora ni kiete iku yo
[The cherry blossoms fell, fluttering down
Embracing every bit of my fluttering love
Those days I dreamed of on that distant spring day
Disappear into the sky]

Sakura hirahira mai orite ochite
Haru no sono mukou he to aruki dasu
Kimi to haru ni chikai shi kono yume wo tsuyoku
Mune ni daite sakura mai chiru
[The cherry blossoms fall, fluttering down
And I walk out into the spring
I clutch the dream I promised you that spring
Tightly to my chest; the cherry blossoms dance]
