長い間 待たせてごめん
I'm sorry for keeping you waiting so long,
また急に仕事が入った
Work came up unexpectedly again,
いつも一緒に いられなくて
We can't always be together,
淋しい思いを させたね
I made you feel lonely, didn't I?
逢えないとき 受話器からきこえる
When we're apart, I can hear it through the receiver,
君の声がかすれてる
Your voice is getting faint,
久しぶりに 逢った時の
When we finally met after a long time,
君の笑顔が胸をさらっていく
Your smile swept my heart away,
気づいたの あなたが
I've realized that you,
こんなに 胸の中にいること
Are so deeply within my heart.

I love you, could it be?
そんな事言えない
I can't say such things.

笑顔だけは 忘れないように
I won't forget just how to smile.

You, who are smiling,
側では 素直になれるの

そんな事言えない
I can't say such things.

So deeply within my heart.
