Honno sukoshi mae niJust a little while ago,
Te ni ireta you na mirai wothe future I thought I’d finally grasped,
Omoide to issho nitogether with my memories,
Marumete nage sutetaI balled it all up and threw it away.
Mada saki wa nagai yoThe road ahead is still long,
Nimotsu wa mou ii yoso I don’t need this luggage anymore.
