| Japanese | English |
| カ分厚い辞書の中で命の仕組みを知った | I discovered how life works in a thick dictionary |
| 近くで話したかった生きていく意味を分けてほしくて | I wanted to talk intimately, so I could share the meaning of life with you |
| 去年より長く射した陽の影を縫って歩いた | I walked, weaving my way through shadows cast by a sun that shone longer than last year |
| 立ち止まったコロコロと横から音がしたから | I came to a stop because I heard a light rustling from beside me |
| ひどく美しい一輪の花笑いかけた | And I smiled at one terribly beautiful flower |
| 暑い夏に茹だった変わり映えのしないピアノフレーズ | I sweltered in the hot summer—the same old piano phrase |
| 白い指でなぞったその先に見とれていたんだ | I traced it with white fingers, captivated by what comes next |
| 鼓動が高鳴った最後かもしれない時間に | My heartbeat quickened, for a time that may be my last |
| 栞を一つ挟んだ忘れないように | I placed a bookmark inside, so I'll never forget |
| 大人になりたいから願掛けをしたんだ | I want to become an adult, so I said a prayer |
| 右の手首で踊るミサンガ風を呼んだ | With the misanga[1] dancing on my right wrist, I called for the wind |
| 去年より暗く灯った黄昏をすくって拾った | I scooped up a twilight that was more dimly lit than last year |
| また来よう約束だよ | I'll come again, I promise |
| ずっと実のままで枯れたとしても愛したいのさ | Even as a fruit who has long rotten, I want to love you |
| 泳ぐ魚は | The swimming fish |
| 短い夏に茹だった変わり映えのしないピアノフレーズ | sweltered in the short summer—the same old piano phrase |
| 青い空に迷った落ちる涙を思い出した | Lost in the blue sky, it remembered the spilt tears |
| 鼓動が高鳴った刹那と永遠の海で | Its heartbeat quickened, for an instant in the sea of eternity |
| 栞を一つ挟んだ忘れないように | It placed a bookmark inside, so it would never forget |
| ああ 今年も月が綺麗だ | Ahh, this year, too, the moon is beautiful |
| ああ 今年も雪が光った | Ahh, this year, too, the snow glittered |
| ああ 今年も燕が飛んだ | Ahh, this year, too, the swallows flew |
| そして君のいない夏が来るんだ | And the summer without you is coming |
| 暑い夏に茹だった | I sweltered in the summer heat |
| 白い指でなぞった | I traced it with white fingers |
| 鼓動が高鳴った | My heartbeat quickened |
| 栞を一つ挟んだ | I placed a bookmark inside |
| 暑い夏に茹だった変わり映えのしないピアノフレーズ | I sweltered in the summer heat—the same old piano phrase |
| 白い指でなぞったその先に見とれていたんだ | I traced it with white fingers, captivated by what comes next |
| 鼓動が高鳴ったいつかは彩る時間に | My heartbeat quickened, for a time that I'll color someday |
| 栞を一つ挟んだ忘れないように | I placed a bookmark inside, so I'll never forget |
