I want to see you, but I can't
Standing still searching for the light through such a long night.
The one who taught me that everyone needs strength and kindness to live
was you who was leaving me.

We knew from the beginning that we were going to go our seperate ways
but even still, I felt forever in those days I touched you.

How long has it been since we found each other
I was bad at smiling, has it become more natural?
Since then we were always together,
and following that we became adults.

Waiting anxiously, but you haven't come
The memories raining down on this precious season, are mostly of you.
I miss you, I miss you
You've given me so much courage
that I still now keep with me.

Unable to be together without hurting each other,
we healed that pain together.
Now, those days in which everything seemed meaningless,
have become so dear to me.

looking for love, troubled by love, knowing love
In that heart that resembles mine in some way,
I am there, and in a corner is your unyielding dream,
Don't you see, it has changed us into adults even more.

I want to see you, but I can't
Standing still searching for the light through such a long night.
The one who taught me that everyone needs strength and kindness to live
was you who was leaving me.

If we're under the light being cast through the leaves,
it makes even our parting seem beautiful.
By forgetting sadness people, surely, can become stronger.
Soon, even here, the snow will accumulate
and the world will be colored white.
if just for a little longer...

Waiting anxiously, but you haven't come
The memories raining down on this precious time, are mostly of you.
I miss you, I miss you
You've given me so much courage
that I still now keep with me.

I want to see you, but I can't
Standing still searching for the light through such a long night.
The one who taught me that everyone needs strength and kindness to live
was you who was leaving me.

We knew from the beginning that we were going to go our seperate ways.

Translator's Notes: The one point that seemed a little difficult was the line dokoka niteru anata no mune ni iru, katawara ni yuzurenai yume... Theimage we got from these lines was that the singer is in the other person's heart, but he can't stay in there because there is a dream taking up one part, a dream that the person refuses to give up on, which eventually forces the singer out of the heart. I assume because the dream got bigger. This is our interpretation of the lines, which are vague enough to allow other interpretations I think. But this makes sense with the next lines, which talk about being changed into adults by the dream.
