LAST DAY

ogarashi no kaerimichi kimi wa me wo hosome nagara
Boku no poketto ni
Tsunaida te wo shinobaseru.

Are wa futari de atta hi
Boku wa surihetta kutsu bakari mitete
Butsukatta toki
Kimi wa koi wo nakushita bakari de
Namida ni hoho wo nurashiteta.

Sayonara wo shiru hodo ni
Hito wa Hito wa okubyou ni natte shimau kedo
Mienai kizuna wo tadori aetakara
Taisetsu ni zutto zutto
Atatame atteikou.

Nani ka ni owareru you ni sugite yuku
Mainichi toka
Akirameru koto ni nareteku no ga
Otona ni narutte koto.

Sonna iiwakeshi nagara
Boku wa nagareteiku kumo bakari miteta
Dakedo ima wa tsuyoku naritai Ushinaitakunai sekai ga aru kara.

Omou you ni ikire nakute
Toki ni bokura kizutsuke au hi mo aru kedo
Kono yubi ni karamaru nukumori wo
Saigo made zutto zutto
Mamori tsuzuketai.

[Translation]

With my eyes narrowed, I head home against the cold winter winds
Concealing my hands within my pockets, I meet up with you on this day.

All I could see were the shoes I was wearing
That time when we argued, you abandoned our love
A sea of tears streamed down my cheeks.

Good-bye is something I'm used to saying
I..., I have become such a cowardly person
I was relying on a bond that wasn't there
Because we had comforted each other for such a long, long time.

I am being chased by something with every day that passes
I'm used to being abandoned even now that I've grown up
I watched only the flowing clouds as I made that excuse
But now there is a world I do not want to lose, so I want to become strong.

We can't be together after all
Though there were times that lasted days at a time when we fought
I want to keep defending that comfort-- holding it around my finger
To the very last minute, for a long, long time.
