Sosogu ai igai wa fuyou ni natteeverything but this pouring love has become useless,
Hai ni hai ni hakobu tame nidestined to be carried off to the ashes.
Hayaku hayaku kodou tobashiteFaster, faster, my heartbeat takes flight.

Kizuku kanchigai ga iya ni natteI’ve grown sick of the misunderstandings I keep finding,
Torai torai kowai kowai kowaiI try and try, but I’m scared, scared, scared.
Karamawari karamatta ishi no ueSpinning my wheels, entangled in my own perseverance,

Aa dame da kore ja mataAh, it’s no use, at this rate,
Gensou ga tayori ga nai naI can’t rely on mere illusions,

Ano hi no namida no itoguchi wo nando mo sagasouI’ll search for the source of those tears again and again,
Kimi to nara tadoritsukerubecause if I’m with you, I know I can make it there.
