Tatoeba mukashi no hanashi anata to itta hanabiFor instance, a story from the past: the fireworks I went to see with you.
Mankai o nogasanai youni me o kojihiraketa anata wa warattaYou laughed as you pried my eyes open so I wouldn’t miss the full bloom.
Ima koko de atarashiku tomoshibi tsuzukeru karaBecause here and now, I will keep a new light burning,
Osanai kokoro mo wasurenai de toki o tsumikasaneyouso let’s stack up the hours without forgetting our childhood hearts.
Sagashiteita ibasho wa konna ni chikaku niThe place I’ve been searching for was actually this close.
Mimamotte kureteitan da ne afure dashita kiokuYou were watching over me all along, weren’t you? My memories overflow.
Watashitakatta mono koko de atatameru yoI will warm the things I wanted to give you right here.
Massara na asahi ni suita mune somite moEven if the brand-new morning sun dyes my empty heart,
Tamani deru shigusa wa anata o nazoru mitaimy occasional gestures seem to trace the memory of you.
Kurikaeshi no hibi ga korekara mo tsuzuku youniHoping that these repeating days will continue like this forever.
