ある日突然にそれは
One day, all of a sudden, it arrived,
訪れた出来事
An event that came knocking,
始まりは一通の手紙
It began with a single letter,
送り主は遥か昔を生きる君
From the sender who lived in days long past,
そんな不可思議な出会い
Such a mysterious encounter,
僕の時代には今
In my era, now,
こんなものがあって
There exists something like this,
こんな暮らしをしているよ
And I live in such a way,

As we convey our thoughts through written words,
いつしか芽生えたロマンス
A romance gradually blossomed before we knew it.

We who can never meet
それぞれの世界から
From our own worlds
綴る言葉
Words that we weave
募る想い
Feelings that grow
姿さえも
Even our forms
知らないまま
Without knowing
どんな時も君の言葉を
At all times, I'm longing for your words
待ち焦がれているんだ
I await them with yearning
生きる時代は違うけど
Though we live in different eras
何度でも時間を越えて
Time will be crossed again and again
君と君と伝え合う想い
The feelings we share, you and I,
願いが叶うなら
If my wish could come true,
一目でいいから
Just once, even if it's just a glimpse,
会いたいな
I want to see you,
好きだから
Because I love you.
不意に思い出したのは
What I unexpectedly remembered was
君が生きる時代の明日
The tomorrow of the era you live in.

Sad things,

I must convey it.
どうか奇跡よ起きて
Please, let a miracle happen
過ぎていく時と
As time passes by
変わる季節
And the seasons change
あれから途絶えた手紙
A letter that has stopped coming since then
もう届かない言葉だけが胸を締めつける
Only words that can no longer reach me tighten my heart
遥か彼方100年先を
A distant future, a hundred years ahead
君が見てみたいと願った未来を今
The future you wished to see, now
僕はまだ歩いているよ
I am still walking on
苦しい想いを胸に抱いたまま
Carrying the painful thoughts in my heart
そんな僕に届いた手紙
A letter that reached me, despite all that
見覚えのある待ち焦がれていた文字
A familiar text I've longed for
それは君があの日を越えて
It is the last love letter you wrote to me
僕に書いた最後の恋文
As you crossed over that day
君が君の時代を生きた証を
Proof that you lived in your own era
八千代越えても握りしめて
Even beyond the ages, I hold on tight
僕が僕の時代に見るその全てを
To everything I see in my own time
いつか伝えに行くよ
One day, I will go and tell you
