風に戸惑う弱気な僕
A hesitant me, bewildered by the wind,
通りすがるあの日の幻影
The phantom of that day passes by,
本当は見た目以上
In truth, I'm more than meets the eye.
涙もろい過去がある
I have a past that makes me tearful.
止めど流る清か水よ
Oh, flowing water, pure and endless,
消せど燃ゆる魔性の火よ
A flame of temptation that won't die, even if extinguished,
あんなに好きな女性に
To a woman I love so deeply,
出逢う夏は二度とない
There’s no summer like the one in which we met.

Everyone seeks love in their hearts,
闇に彷徨う運命
Fate wanders in the darkness.
そして風まかせ oh, my destiny
And I leave it to the wind, oh, my destiny
涙枯れるまで
Until my tears run dry
見つめ合うと素直にお喋り出来ない
When we gaze at each other, I can't speak plainly
津波のような侘しさに
In the loneliness like a tsunami
I know... 怯えてる
I know... I'm scared
めぐり逢えた瞬間から
From the moment we met
魔法が解けない
The magic won't break
鏡のような夢の中で
In a dream like a mirror
思い出はいつの日も雨
Memories are always rain, no matter the day
夢が終わり目覚める時
When the dream ends, and I wake up
深い闇に夜明けが来る
The dawn arrives in the deep darkness.
本当は見た目以上
In truth, there's more than meets the eye.
打たれ強い僕がいる
Here I stand, resilient and strong.
泣き出しそうな空眺めて
Gazing at the sky that seems about to cry.
波に漂うカモメ
Seagulls drifting on the waves.
きっと世は情け oh, sweet memory
Surely the world is filled with kindness, oh, sweet memory.
旅立ちを胸に
With the journey ahead in my heart.
人は涙見せずに大人になれない
People can't grow up without shedding tears.
ガラスのような恋だとは
It's a love as fragile as glass.
I know... 気付いてる
I know... I'm aware.
身も心も
Body and soul,
愛しい女性しか見えない
I see only my beloved woman.
張り裂けそうな胸の奥で
Deep within my chest, ready to burst,
悲しみに耐えるのは何故
Why must I endure this sorrow?
見つめ合うと素直に
When our eyes meet, I can't be honest,
お喋り出来ない
I can't chat freely.
津波のような侘しさに
In this loneliness, like a tsunami,
I know... 怯えてる
I know... I'm scared.
めぐり逢えた瞬間から死ぬまで好きと言って
From the moment we met, until death, I’ll say I love you,
鏡のような夢の中で
In a dream like a mirror.
微笑をくれたのは誰
Who was it that gave me a smile?
好きなのに泣いたのは何故
Why did I cry even though I liked you?
思い出はいつの日も... 雨
Memories are always... rain.
