Lyrics

nagai nemuri wa dore hodo no omoi wo tsukutta no darou
afuredasu kanashimi wo dakishime ikiru hito

yoru wo norikoeru tabi ni
hidoku obiete shimau kimi
kono yasashii sekai de
itsuka mata aeta nara

nakanaide dare yori yasashii hito yo
sutenaide nani yori hikaru ashita wo
dore dake tooku hanarete shimatte mo
kawaru koto naku zutto kokoro wa tsunagatteiku
tsunagatteiru

kurikaesareru kisetsu ga bokura wo irodotteiku
toorisugita hibi wa hora ima mo kagayaiteru

nemurenakatta itsuka no yoru
yowai kokoro ni kizuita
dakedo namida no wake ni mukiaeta toki ni

yamenaide shinji tsuzuketeiku koto wo

soshite kawarazu zutto kokoro wa tsunagatteiku
tsunagatteiru

English Translation

A long sleep, how many emotions did it create?
The one that embraces overflowing sadness

Every passing of the night
Makes you terribly afraid
In this gentle world
If we can meet again

Don't cry, my gentlest one
Don't throw away a tomorrow that shines so bright
No matter how far apart we become
Forever unchanging our hearts will connect
They're connected

Repeating seasons color us
Days from the past still shine bright

On a sleepless night some time ago
I realized the weakness of my heart
But when I confront the reasons for my tears
Once again I'll be able to smile

Don't stop believing
Don't lose that genuine warmth

Things I defended things I lost
These hands carried them all

Even if a day arrives when the stars are invisible
Even if the cold rain never ceases
If I close my eyes
I can see you smiling
That's enough for me to believe in any kind of tomorrow

See, no matter how much time we have
It's not enough no way it could be enough
But still I'm happy we met

Don't cry, my gentlest one
Don't throw away a tomorrow that shines so bright
Things I defended things I lost

Those hands carried them all
Even if a day arrives when the stars are invisible
Even if the cold rain never ceases
If I close my eyes
I can see you smiling
Never to change our hearts will connect
They're connected
