屋根に雪を乗せた スキー帰りのバスを
Snow rests on the roof, a bus returning from skiing,
フロントガラス越しに見送る
I watch it depart through the front glass.
あなたとよく寄った 朝焼けのdriving
Driving into the morning glow we loved so much,
今は友達と白いため息 見てるよ
Now I see my friends sighing in white.
あなたが横にいなくなってから
Since you've been gone from my side,
初めて迎えたseason
I welcomed this season for the very first time.
遠く煙る山振り返れば
As I look back at the distant, smoky mountains,
涙がこぼれそうなの
I feel tears welling up inside me.
あなたが忘れた カセットかけながら
While playing the cassette you left behind,
失恋話あの子に聞いてもらうよ
I'll share my heartbreak with that girl.
あの頃まさか私が免許
Back then, I never thought I’d get a license,
取るとは思わなかった
It seemed so unlikely to me.
助手席から抱きついて
I hugged you from the passenger seat,
あなた慌てさせたのに
Made you panic, oh how it used to be.
あなたが忘れたカセットは今も
The cassette you left behind still plays,
切ないプレイを繰り返すよ
A bittersweet tune that haunts my days.
渡せるはずのないお土産を
I picked a souvenir you could never hold,
あなたに選んできたの
Something special, a tale to be told.
遠い景色とうらはらに
In contrast to the distant scenery,
なぜかあなた近く感じる
For some reason, you feel close to me.
あなたが忘れたカセット終わったら
When the cassette you forgot comes to an end
渋滞の列へ戻ってゆく
I’ll head back into the traffic line
今もあなたが好きなの
I still love you even now
Yes, I love you
Yes, I love you
