Mousukoshi dake deau no ga saIf only we’d met just a little bit sooner,
Hayakatta narabaif it had been earlier.
Taema naku youki na kimi ni okurenu you niTo keep up with you and your constant cheer,
Egao no hi ga fuete itan da yothe days I spent smiling began to increase.
Imasara aisanai toka muri nandaiIt’s impossible not to love you at this point.
Kamisama to yara ni oshitsukeraretaForced upon me by someone they call “God,”
Douka oshiawase ni“I hope you’ll be happy.”
…Wakiyaku rashii kotoba da…Those are words that fit a supporting character.
Mousukoshi dake deau no ga saIf only we’d met just a little bit sooner,
Hayakatta narabaif it had been earlier,
Osoroi no yubiwa no aite wa boku datta ka?would I have been the one with the matching ring?
Kimi no suki na uta oboete hanashi awaseteI learned your favorite songs just to talk with you,
Warai atteru dake demo shiawase datta najust laughing together made me so happy.
Watashitachi aishou ga iin da ne“We’re really compatible, aren’t we?”
Yoku iwaretaI was told that so often.
Hanbun kurai kimi no konomi woAbout half of the things you liked,
Suki na furi shita no wa naisho desuI only pretended to like, but that’s a secret.
Imada ni hos sugiru hikari ni kitai suru bakaI’m still a fool, hoping for a light that’s far too thin.
Ganbatta de shou kurai gaMaybe saying “I did my best”
Oniai kamois what suits me most.
I love you gaMy “I love you”
Ososugite doko ni iku ate mo nakuwas too late and has nowhere left to go.
Mousukoshi dake deau no ga saIf only we’d met just a little bit sooner,
Hayakatta narabaif it had been earlier,
Doresu sugata ni naite iru aite wawould the person crying at the sight of you in your dress
Boku datta ka?have been me?
Ano hi no mama itoshisa dake subete nokotteJust like that day, all my affection remains,
Omoidashite shimau no wa boku dake kanabut am I the only one who keeps remembering?
Kimi ga fureta mono ga azayaka sugiteThe things you touched were so vibrant,
Ima ja shirokuro de boyakete shimaubut now they’re just a blur in black and white.
Eiga mitai na koi dakaraSince this love was like a movie,
Owari mo kimatteta no kanaI wonder if the ending was already decided too.
Mousukoshi dake deau no ga saIf only we’d met just a little bit sooner,
Hayakatta narabaif it had been earlier,
Osoroi no yubiwa no aite wa boku datta ka?would I have been the one with the matching ring?
