Artist: Dreams Come True
Title: Sankyu (Thank You)
Words: Yoshida Miwa
Music: Yoshida Miwa, Tanaka Masato

Thank you for coming out with me, without asking anything.
fireworks out of season, carrying buckets of water
we ran around assailed by the smoke
you really made me laugh when you said
'lovely' with teary eyes.

I'm glad you came.

Thank you for coming out with me, without saying a word.
on the swings in the park where the smell of smoke lingers
when I got all quiet, looking for a chance to speak
you really made me laugh by humming a song.

I'm glad you were there.

'Today, me and my boyfriend broke up.
I didn't cry, and I didn't hold it against him.'

because you tell me "what a strong girl" I am,
I can feel the weak words about to come blubbering out.
After you said, "eventhough you loved him" At last I could cry.
and again, I saw you with teary eyes, and smiled through the tears

You really made me laugh with your,
'it's kinda lame, but if you're gonna cut your hair, I'll go with." *1

I'm glad you came.

I'm glad you were there.

Thanks, really, for everything today.

Translator's Notes: Thanks to one of our readers, I was able to get a new perspective on this song, and I went back and re-did it entirely. If anyone wants to see the old one it's here Without further ado, the *!

* 1 - I think the person in this song is saying here, how it's uncool that he/she accompany the girl to the hairdresser, to go get her hair cut. Something many girls do after they break up with someone in Japan.
