  1. 忘れないよう笑うけど

    I laugh to not forget, but

    that's just not enough, you see.

  3. 小指小指って

    We swear with our pinky fingers,

  4. いつも歌う

    and sing our usual song.

  5. だけどその度胸痛む

    Yet each time, that courage aches,

  6. 少し気付

    I had a slight awareness of it.

  7. ないようまた笑うけど

    I laugh again so it won't show on my face,

  8. 気付はいないかな

    I wonder if anyone notices.

  9. わっその時

    At the moment I finish singing,

  10. 未来ジャブ

    the future feels like déjà vu.

  11. 出す

    Showing my face

  12. あのその小指

    At that time, what did your little finger promise me?

  13. なんてたんだい

  14. あのこの小指

    At that moment, what did my little finger promise you?

  15. なんてたんだい

    What vow did my little finger make to you?

  16. 約束交わすかって

    Every time we exchanged promises, I knew very well

    You seem to drift just a little farther away

  18. この距離またたくって

    Wanting to close this gap once more

  19. 約束積み上げてく

    I keep building up promises

  20. そうって約束

    In that way, we promise each other

  21. またってって

    Once again, breaking and doubting.

  22. 遠くって繰り返し

    Fading away, repeating once more

  23. そんな約束なんて

    Such a promise as that is just

  24. 二人うちどちら

    Which one of the two of us

  25. 嘘つきするためものならば

    If it's meant to make me a liar,

  26. そんなものはいない

  27. ない

    I don't need it.

  28. きっと大丈夫 二人なら

    I'm sure it'll be alright, if we're together.

  29. 未来ジャブ

    Future déjà vu

  30. ないない

    Peek-a-boo!

    At that time, my little finger

  32. なんでたんだい

    Why did I doubt you then?
