[1] Shizukesa ni tsutsumareta Ame no machinami Kasatataku amaoto ga Mimimoto de hibiite In a rainy townscape engulfed in serenity, the pitter-patter of rain echoes about the ears. [2] Sekai kara hitori dake Kiritorareta you de Utsumuita kokoro ga Zawameiteiru The lone burdened heart, cut off and isolated from rest of the world, stirs alive. [3] Nagai tabi dakara Tachi tomaru koto Toki ni yasumu koto mo Hitsuyou dakedo Although on long journeys, to stop for while and to rest for a moment is important too, [4] Suwari komeba Mata tatsu no ga sukoshi taihen Tsunoru fuwan ni Ashi wo torarete Once I end up sitting, standing up again is not easy. The growing anxiety binds the legs. [5] Modokashisa wo kakaete Shizundeta kuuhaku no naka Afure dasu namida de Saki ga mienai While bearing the frustration and sinking into nothingness, the tears spill out and blur what’s ahead. [6] Demo taisetsu na yuume ga Sarete kita omoi wa keshite Tebanashitakunai kara Muki au to kimeta But not wanting to let go of the that dear dream that I have continued to dream of, I decide to face it. [7] Nanigenai nichijou ga Tozakaru toki Ushinatta mono bakari Oikakareba tsurai yo When those idle days eventually come to a close, if I only chase what’s been lost, I will be in for pain. [8] Sekai wa itsudatte Kawaritsukeru Katakunara kokoro ga Hodoite miyou The world will always continue to change. If this heart of mine is stubborn, let me untangle it.

[9] Kakenuketa keshiki mo Tachitomattara Ashimoto ni saiteta Shiawase mitsuketa If the rolling scenery too were to come to a halt, I will find the happiness that blooms under my foot. [10] Mae ni tsutsumitai Kimochi mune ni aru nara Muda na koto nante Hitotsu mo nai sa As long as the feeling to move onward exists within my heart, there is absolutely nothing that is pointless at all. [11] Mimi wo sumashite mireba Kikoeru yo kuuhaku no oto Ima dakara kizukeru Omoi ga aru If I pry my ears to listen, i will hear the sound of that blankness. It is now that I can notice that there is emotion in there. [12] Hanareite mo tsuyoku Kanjiru kimi to no kizuna Tebanashitakunai mono Tashikamerareta yo Even though we are far away, I strongly feel this connection with you. I have confirmed now, that which I don’t want to let go. [13] Narihibiku ongaku no Naka ni aru kuuhaku wa hora Sugi ni mukau tame no Taisetsu na oto In this resounding song too there is exists that nothingness. This sound that provides the strength to keep moving on. [14] Atarashi ongaku ga Hirogaru kuuhaku no mukou Nayami mayotta hi wa chikara ni kawaru A new song echoes beyond that blankness. One day when I am confused and lost, it will become my strength [15] Sa, taisetsu no yuume ga Kasane kita omoi no tsuzuki e Fukaku iki wo suttara mata ippo fumi dasou Now, that dear dream lies ahead of these feelings. and, after a deep breath, let’s take a step forward. ～FIN～

Translation Notes: I had to take lot of creative liberties. Due to the fact that no pronoun is used in the entirety of the song, I had to decide which to use in the translation. I settled on first person. Though some verses did feel more suited to be sung from third person. Additionally, I tried my best to preserve sentence structure and meaning but honestly verse [6] was quite hard to translate neatly. It might not be 1:1 translation. In verse [1], I translated it as "In a rainy townscape" although the preposition is missing in Romaji counterpart. I felt that was the original intent of that verse.

[27] Happy birthday To my dearest Kokora kara arigato Happy Birthday To my dearest. Thank you, from bottom of my heart. [28] Korekara mo Yoroshiku ne Let us get along As usual.

T/N: I once again took some creative liberties, specifically at verse [10] for better flow. Verse [7] doesn't make sense to me, if anyone knows what dancing lights have to do with wishes, do explain. The line-by-line translation isn't correct, some times I had to rephrase the verse for flow into next verse. But overall, I think I translated it well enough. Most of the meaning is retained. I didn't check if romaji are accurate. Not my focus so I will correct later.
