Guuzen nante iu n janaidon’t you dare call them a coincidence.
Kimi wa itsumo ame ni utareYou were always beaten down by the rain,
Aruite kita nebut you kept on walking.
Mainichi hi ga kureru madeEvery day until the sun went down,
Oikakete kita neyou chased after it.
Zubunure ni natte mo kasa mo sasazuSoaked to the bone, refusing to use an umbrella,
Ippo demo mae ni jimen o tatakustomping the ground to take even one step forward.
Ankoku no naka de hikari o sagasuSearching for a light in the darkness,
Sakibi tsuzukete mata koe o karasuyou kept screaming until your voice gave out again.
Tsuyoi omoi no bun dakeJust because your desire was so strong,
Fuan de nemurenai hi mo atta nethere were nights you couldn’t sleep from anxiety.
Kuyashisugite hareagatta meYour eyes were swollen from frustration,
Tsugi no hi ni wa mata waratta nebut the next day, you laughed again.
Kiete wa tomosu kurikaesu sonna hibi moThose days that flickered out and lit up again,
Saki no mienai sonna michi moand that road where you couldn’t see the end,
Kesshite yuzuranai sonna kimi oI’ve been watching the you who would never yield,
Zutto miteita yoI was watching you the whole time.
