namida no oku ni yuragu hohoemi wa
toki no hajime kara no sekai no yakusoku
ima wa hitori demo futari no kinou kara
kyou wa umare kirameku
hajimete atta hi no you ni
omoide no uchi ni anata wa inai
soyokaze to natte hoho ni furetekuru
komorebi no gogo no wakare no ato mo
kesshite owaranai sekai no yakusoku
ima wa hitori demo ashita wa kagirinai
anata ga oshietekureta
yoru ni hisomu yasashisa
omoide no uchi ni anata wa inai
seseragi no uta ni kono sora no iro ni
hana no kaori ni itsumademo ikite
The Promise of the World
(this is not a direct translation of the song)
The smiles wavering at the depth of tears
Are the Promise of the World.
Now I'm alone, but yesterday of ours
Bears and shines today
Like the day we first met.
You're not a memory to me;
You're the breeze touching my cheeks
After the parting in the afternoon of sunbeams from trees,
It never ends, the Promise of the World.
Now I'm alone, but tomorrow is infinite.
You showed me
That the night has tenderness behind it.
You're not a memory to me;
You live forever in the song of the stream,
The color of this sky and the smells of flowers.
