EVERGREEN

Kabosoku shiroi yubi ga
Sono tane wo ueta
Hyakunen go no dareka ga
Shiawase de aru you ni

Toki wo koete ai shiau
Hiyoku no tori sora e mukatte
Sou, habataite iku hazu na no ni
Watashitachi wa tobezu ni
Unmei ni moteasobarete iru
Mou, raku ni sasete

Ai wo sakebitsuzukeru kara zutto
Ai wo kakusazu ni iru kara kitto
Towa ni kienaide
Soshite kamisama ga
Kimeta “futari” datte koto shiru yo
Nando wakare wo tsugeta darou zutto
Wasurerarezu ni iru no darou kitto
Nido to hanasanai
Taisetsu na hito yo
Kore hodo ni ai shita koto wa nai kara

Yasashikute hageshikute
Mune wa uzuku no ni
Konna omoi wo shite made
Koi wo suru no darou

Toki wo koete hikareau
Renri no eda sora e nobite iku
Sou, watashitachi mo onaji de
Tsuchi ni modori hoshi to naru
Nando datte meguriaeru to
Nee, yakusoku shite

Ai wo utaitsuzukeru kara zutto
Ai wo mamoritsuzukeru kara kitto
Towa ni kienaide
Taisetsu na hito yo
Shiawase ni naru tame ni umarete kita no

Tamashii ga oboeteru yo
Hana wa chiri yuku kedo
Love, ever last
This is evergreen
Hyakunengo no anata e
Tane wo ue hana ga saki
Mata meguriaeru you ni

Ai wo sakebitsuzukeru kara zutto
Ai wo tsunagitsuzukeru kara kitto
Towa wa koko ni aru
Soshite kamisama ga
Kimeta “futari” datte koto shiru yo
Nando inochi ga hateyou to zutto
Wasurerarezu ni iru no darou kitto
Nido to hanasanai
Taisetsu na hito yo
Shiawase wo oshiete kureta hito yo

Translation

Slender, white fingers
Planted the seed
So that someone could be happy
A hundred years later

Two birds who have loved each other for so long
Should flap their wings together
And fly up into the sky
But we can't fly
And fate keeps tossing us around
Put us out of our misery now

I'll keep screaming out my love forever
I won't hide my love, surely
Don't ever go away
And I know that God has decided
That we should be together
How many times have we said goodbye
We can never forget each other, surely
I'll never let you go again
My precious lover
Because I've never loved someone so much

My heart aches
Tenderly, intensely
Does love really make you feel
This strongly?

Two branches, attracted to each other for so long
Entwine and grow up to the sky
Yes, we are the same
We'll return to the earth and become stars
Promise me
That we'll meet again and again

I'll keep singing of my love forever
I'll keep protecting this love, surely
Don't ever go away
My precious lover
Because we were born to be happy

Our souls remember
Flowers die, but
Love, ever last
This is evergreen
To you, a hundred years later
I'll plant this seed and flowers will bloom
So that we can meet again

I'll keep screaming out my love forever
I'll keep us connected by love, surely
Eternity is here
And I know that God has decided
That we should be together
No matter how many times our lives end
We'll never be able to forget each other, surely
I'll never let you go again
My precious lover
You taught me what happiness is
