[English]

You're going away next spring
I can't find the words to say goodbye
So I stopped my bike
And trembled in the wind blowing from across the sea.

I closed my eyes and listened to the sound of the waves alone
And quietly, quietly whispered the words I couldn't say – that I love you.

In the season when the cherry blossoms fall
During the fireworks that summer
I was always thinking about you, about you
The painful autumn, the Christmas Eve I spent alone
It'll all become a distant memory someday, someday
But I can't make you a memory.

You looked up at the sky as you said
You wanted to see the other side of the sea
How long have I been in love with those eyes
Telling myself it was just one sided?

You laughed, saying you weren't afraid of anything
Someday your back will be too far away to see
Even if you fly across the sea, I'm sure, sure I won't forget you.

We'll surely spread our wings and take to our respective skies
And fly far and high, leaving now behind
What will remain surely won't be regrets
But the seeds of smiles that youth plants
Yeah, I can't make my first love a memory.

It was by loving you that I learned that love could be bitter
It was the first time I'd cried for someone else.

In the season when the cherry blossoms fall
During the fireworks that summer
I was always thinking about you, about you
The painful autumn, the Christmas Eve I spent alone
It'll all become a distant memory someday, someday.

We'll surely spread our wings and take to our respective skies
And fly far and high, leaving now behind
What will remain surely won't be regrets
But the seeds of smiles that youth plants
Yeah, I can't make you a memory
I can't make you a memory.
