どうしてるかな あなたのこと
I wonder how you are doing, my dear
つめたい風に 少し 思った
In the chilly breeze, I thought for a moment
枝にもたれて 話したよね
We talked while leaning on the branches, remember?
体が冷えて 陽が落ちても
Even as my body grew cold with the setting sun
泣き出してしまった 私を守るように
I started to cry, as if to protect me
黙ってそばにいてくれたね
You stayed quietly by my side, didn't you?
不思議な世界 その瞳に
In those mysterious eyes, a world unfolds
映してるような そんな気がした
I felt as if it was reflecting something like that

あなたにきっと 教えられた
I'm sure you taught me all about them
離ればなれになる 少し前に告げた
Just before we part ways, I told you
願い 忘れないでいるから
A wish I won't forget at all
遠くてもあなたに
Even if we're far apart,
負けたくはないんだ
I don't want to lose to you.
いつまでも二人はライバル
Forever we'll be rivals, just the two of us.
便りはいらない 大好きなともだち
No need for letters, my beloved friend.
誰にも言わない いちばんの思い出
I won't tell a soul, my most cherished memory.
もう一度会えるさ 大好きなともだち
We'll meet again, my beloved friend.
忘れることない 大好きなともだち
I won't forget a thing, my beloved friend.
