Last letter
Reini • From “Act. 0”
Last letter Lyrics Translation – Act. 0 Soundtrack
The lyrics tell a story of a love that was always present but hard to express. Kojiro Kikuike writes lines like ‘When you read this letter, I wonder what you’ll think.’ The song uses physical images such as blurred ink strokes and blank pages to show how feelings slip away.
Kono tegami o anata ga yomu tokiWhen you read this letter,
Donna fuu ni omou katte kangaete shimatte te ga tomaruI wonder what you’ll think and my hand just stops.
Toorisugite iku keshiki no naka deWithin the scenery passing us by,
Yorokobi ya nukumori oshiete kuretayou taught me about joy and warmth.
Nanigenai hibi ga taisetsu nanda tteI realize those ordinary days are so precious.
Ima nara wakaru ki ga suru yoI think I finally understand that now.
Nijinda moji ga umeru imiThe meaning hidden in these blurred ink strokes,
Kuuhaku ga kataru boku no kotoand the blank spaces tell my story.
Ai wa zutto koko ni atta no niEven though love was always right here,
Kotoba ni dekinakatta ndaI just couldn’t put it into words.
Arigatou tte iitakuteI wanted to say thank you,
Gomen ne mo ienakutebut I couldn’t even say I’m sorry.
Sayonara no mae niBefore we say goodbye,
Tsutaetai kotoba o zutto sagashiteruI’m still searching for the words I want to tell you.
Omoi ga anata ni todoku you niI hope my feelings reach you.
Boku no inai sekai mo tsuzuku yoThe world goes on even without me.
Kisetsu ga meguttemo mataEven as the seasons turn,
Omoidashite kureru darou kawill you remember me again?
Atarimae no koto wa kitto wasuregachi deIt’s so easy to forget the things we take for granted,
Daiji na koto saemo miezuraku naru yoand even the important things become hard to see.
Itoshiku omotta arifureta jikan gaI hope these ordinary times I cherished
Iroasenai you nidon’t ever fade away.
Afureru omoi wa tokeochiruMy overflowing feelings melt and fall away.
Namida wa negai ni kawaruMy tears turn into a prayer.
Anata no egaku mirai gaI hope the future you envision
Yasashisa de mitasaremasu you niwill be filled with kindness.
Arigatou tte iitakuteI wanted to say thank you,
Gomen ne mo ienakutebut I couldn’t even say I’m sorry.
Sayonara no mae niBefore we say goodbye,
Moratta kotoba wa zutto boku no naka de ikite iruthe words you gave me live on forever inside me,
Hitotsu zutsu atsumenagaraas I gather them one by one.
Mune no naka ni anata ga ite taisetsu na koto o shitta yoWith you in my heart, I learned what’s truly important.
Tsutaetai koto wa itsumo afurete wa surinukete iku no niEven though what I want to say overflows and slips away.
Moji ga umeru imiThe meaning hidden in these ink strokes,
Kuuhaku ga kataru boku no kotoand the blank spaces tell my story.
Ai wa zutto koko ni atta no niEven though love was always right here,
Kotoba ni dekinakatta ndaI just couldn’t put it into words.
Arigatou tte iitakuteI wanted to say thank you,
Gomen ne mo ienakutebut I couldn’t even say I’m sorry.
Sayonara no mae niBefore we say goodbye,
Tsutaetai kotoba o zutto sagashiteruI’m still searching for the words I want to tell you.
Omoi ga anata ni todoku you niI hope my feelings reach you.
Anata ni todoku you niI hope they reach you.
