Kisetsu ga kawatte mo nan nen ga tatte mo
Issho ni iru to yakusoku shita no ni
Ima mo mada oboete iru yo
Kimi ga iru sore dake de yokatta

Orenji iro somaru akizora ga kirei sugiru kara
Kono kokoro ni itaku shimiwataru
Kore ijou nai kurai setsunaku naru yo

Mada nan nichi mo tattenai na no ni zuibun mukashi no you
Omokage sagashi omoide no basho ni kyou mo kite shimatta yo

Aitai kedo aenai
Kimi wa tonari ni inai ano hi ni wa nido to modorenai
Ikutsu namida wo nagashite mo tsugitsugi to afurete kite shimau

kimi ga kureta omoide to piasu wo kono umi no naka ni
Omoikitte suterarenai no wa
Donna koto demo ii tsunagatte itai kara

Futari no kyori wa itsu kara hanarete itte shimatta no?
Wakareru sukoshi mae made suki da to itte kurete ita no ni

Aitai kedo aenai
Kimi wa tonari ni inai ano hi ni wa nidoto modorenai
Kitai shitete mo shouganai to wakatteru hazu na no ni
Sunahama ni suwatte yorisoi nagara mita
Hanabi ga mune ni nokotte iru yo
Shiawase wo kanjiteta no wa tada hitori watashi dake datta no?

Mou ichido mouichido dake
Kimi no nukumori ni furerareta nara...

Aitai kedo aenai
Kimi wa tonari ni inai ano hi ni wa nido to modorenai
Ikutsu namida wo nagashite mo tsugitsugi to afure dasu
Kisetsu ga kawatte mo nan nen ga tatte mo
Issho ni iru to yakusoku shita no ni
Kanawanai mama "sayonara" wo suru nante omotte inakatta

English

You promised to stay with me
Even after the season changed, no matter how many years went by, but
I still remember
I was just happy you were there

The autumn sky, stained in orange, is so beautiful
It penetrates my heart painfully
Giving me a feeling more bittersweet than I’ve felt in my life

It’s not long ago at all but it feels like ages ago
Today, once again, I’ve come to this nostalgic place looking for traces

I want to see you but I can’t
You’re not by my side, I can never go back to that day
No matter how many tears I cry, more keep coming

The reason I can’t just throw the memories and the earrings
That you gave me straight into the sea
Is because I want to still have a connection to you, no matter what it is

When did we start to grow apart?
You said you loved me not long before we broke up, but

I want to see you but I can’t
You’re not by my side, I can never go back to that day
I should know that hoping won’t do any good
But the fireworks that we watched cuddled up on the sand dunes
Still remain in my heart
Was it only me who was happy then?

If only I could have felt your warmth
One more time, just one more time...

I want to see you but I can’t
You’re not by my side, I can never go back to that day
No matter how many tears I cry, more keep coming
You promised to stay with me
Even after the season changed, no matter how many years went by, but
I never thought that we’d say goodbye with that promise not kept
