Farewell



渇いた心に舞い落ちた銀色の三日月は
月明かりのないこの夜に「一人でも歩いてゆける」と
アナタがくれたこの言葉に優しさと温もりを添えて
うつむく泣き顔の僕に微笑みを取り戻させる

悲しいときには瞳を閉じれば
僕の側にはアナタがいるから

涙は見せないと別れを告げて
いつも優しく微笑んでくれてた
その温もりは忘れないから

涙を流しても笑っているから
たとえこの先に道がなくても
この翼を広げてみせる

降り出した月の雫に消えてゆく大きな背中は
歩き続けることの意味をもう一度教えてくれる

振り返らずに歩いてゆけるさ
いつも側にはアナタがいるから

涙がもう二度とこぼれぬように
戻りはしないと決めたことだから
あの日に交わした約束だから

涙を浮かべてもこの雨が消してくれる
もし、もう一度出逢えた時には
アナタを超えたと伝えたいから

The silver crescent moon fluttered down onto my parched heart
On this moonless night, “You can go on alone”
These words you gave me, along with your kindness and warmth
give me back my smile as I hang my head with tears running down my face

Because when I am sad and I close my eyes
You are here by my side

Hiding the tears and bidding farewell
you always smiled at me kindly
I won’t forget that warmth

Because I am smiling even through the tears
Even if I can’t see the road ahead
I’ll spread my wings, you’ll see

Your broad back vanishing in the drops of moonlight that began to pour down
once again teaches me the meaning of walking on

I can walk forward without turning back
Because you are here by my side

I decided never to return
so that my tears would not overflow again
Because that’s what I promised that day

Even if tears well up in my eyes, this rain will erase them for me
Because if I ever meet you again
I want to tell you I’ve surpassed you
