Lyrics[]

Japanese (日本語歌詞) Romaji (ローマ字)
光ひとつも届かない 冷たくなったこの部屋で hikari hitotsu mo todokanai tsumetaku natta kono heya de
最期になった揺り籠を 揺らしましょう saigo ni natta yurikago wo yurashimashou

彼女は彼に笑顔と 無償の愛を捧げました kanojo wa kare ni egao to mushou no ai wo sasagemashita
サヨウナラのそのときも こう言いました sayounara no sono toki mo kou iimashita

『泣かないで 私はきっと "nakanaide watashi wa kitto
あなたにこうされたいと望んだの anata ni kou saretai to nozonda no
悔やまないで すぐに会えるから kuyamanai de sugu ni aeru kara
ねぇ もう nee mou

大丈夫 あなたはきっと daijoubu anata wa kitto
狂ってなんかないと思うの kurutte nanka nai to omou no
少しだけ Unreal ただそれだけ』 sukoshi dake Unreal tada sore dake"

彼は彼女の命を 自分の手で終わらせました kare wa kanojo no inochi wo jibun no te de owarasemashita
二人にとって何よりも 大事な日でした futari ni totte nani yori mo daiji na hi deshita

鉄格子に囲まれ 死んでる目で息をして tetsugoushi ni kakomare shinderu me de iki wo shite
何千回許されたあとも こう言いました nanzenkai yurusareta ato mo kou iimashita

『この手は血でふやけて "kono te wa chi de fuyakete
元にはもう戻らないけれど moto niwa mou modoranai keredo
悔やまないよ すぐに会えるから kuyamanai yo sugu ni aeru kara
ねぇ でも nee demo

思い出して 泣くよりずっと omoidashite naku yori zutto
思い出せないことに怯える omoidasenai koto ni obieru
迷いはない 後悔もない mayoi wa nai koukai mo nai
少しだけ 怖いけど…』 sukoshi dake kowai kedo..."

彼は今 最期の瞬間 kare wa ima saigo no toki
震える心身と引き換えに furueru shinshin to hikikae ni
思い出します 彼女の言葉を omoidashimasu kanojo no kotoba wo
今 今 ima ima

泣かないで nakanaide
すぐに 会えるから sugu ni aeru kara

『泣かないで 私はきっと "nakanaide watashi wa kitto
あなたにこうされたいと望んだの anata ni kou saretai to nozonda no
悔やまないで すぐに会えるから kuyamanai de sugu ni aeru kara
ねぇ もう nee mou

大丈夫 あなたはきっと daijoubu anata wa kitto
狂ってなんかないと思うの』 kurutte nanka nai to omou no"

祝福の鐘が鳴り 足元が軽くなり shukufuku no kane ga nari ashimoto ga karuku nari

今 会いに行く ima ai ni yuku
今 会いに行く ima ai ni yuku

Below is an official English translation: via Producer. Amendments may have been made to the original translation.

Darkness locks me into this room
the air I breathe has never felt so cold
and I'm losing hold of everything I had
so I'll rock myself to sleep

Her beautiful smile was always just for him
every corner of her heart was filled with her love for him
Even when the time would come to say goodbye
this is what she'd say:

"There's nothing to cry for, I want you to know that
as long as it's you, this pain couldn't hurt me
No reason to regret, I'll always be waiting for you
my love, oh...

it'll be alright, I want you to know that
I'll always believe in the truth of your words
the only thing unreal was
my place in your heart"

She could feel his words wrap around her neck
her very last breath was swallowed into silence
and everything they had together fell away
This is how their story ends

Surrounded by an iron barricade
gazing at the light with eyes of lead
even after all the time gone by
this is what he'd say:

I look at these hands that are stained with blood and
they'll never bring back all the things that they took
so I won't turn back, I'll find you again someday
I know, oh...

If only the tears would erase all the memories
then maybe I'd learn to fight all these fears
won't hesitate, won't run away
these are things I'm scared to say...

Don't cry...
We'll find eachother again someday

As he is standing in light that is fading
he's feeling the trembling beat of his heart
and he remembers the sound of her very last words
again, again

"There's nothing to cry for, I want you to know that
as long as it's you, this pain couldn't hurt me
No reason to regret, I'll always be waiting for you
my love, my love

It'll be alright, I want you to know that
I'll always believe in the truth of your words"
With open arms, he looks to the sky
finally, I've found my way
my way (back) to you, my way (back) to you
