[Translation]

“Lately, the two of you are becoming more and more similar”
My friend said to me that day
Before I realized it, we were attracted to each other
Every time I feel discouraged, you will notice it
And when I turn around, you'll be beside me
Acting as if you didn't notice anything.

Hey, you always hide your true self
But I know that you're just putting up a brave front.

That's enough, you've worked hard enough
When you feel like crying, just go ahead and cry
Hey, I want to take a step closer to you
I want to put a true smile on your face
Whenever you feel lonely, I'll always be by your side
So give half of all your tears and grief to me.

There was a day when you told me, a little shyly
About the songs you like, the dreams you have, and so on
Your eyes sparkled as you spoke and they looked dazzling
I was so happy, because it felt like we got a little closer.

You're acting as if nothing happened
But you just cried alone, right
You're working really hard, and I know all about it.

That's enough, you've worked hard enough
When you're tired, just go ahead and rest
Hey, I want to take a step closer to you
I want to make your dream come true
I'll always be right here beside you, I'll always be by your side
So give half of all your tears and grief to me.

Together, let's double the number of happy things in our lives
Together, let's spend lots of time having fun
Since you're working so hard, what can I do for you?
I hope that you can always be true to yourself
So I'd keep looking for more things that I can do to help you.

That's enough, you've worked hard enough
When you feel like crying, just go ahead and cry
Hey, I want to take a step closer to you
I want to put a true smile on your face.

So, that's enough, you've worked hard enough
When you're tired, just go ahead and rest
I'll always be right here beside you, I'll always be by your side
That's right, no matter what kind of future awaits us
Let's share everything, so that you and I can continue
To live in a way that's true to ourselves in the days ahead.
