冬の約束 (Fuyu no yakusoku) – Winter’s promise
from Juunengo kono ki no shita de single.
——
Numerous seasons have passed since our meeting
We’ve been together so long it’s impossible to count the days
Days when we disagreed over trivial things, when I sobbed
Even those times are so beloved now… Beloved…
I wonder if my Papa and my Mama had such a meeting too
Slowly letting go of their guiding arms, I joined hands with you
“I love you” Even now
That hasn’t changed even a bit since we met
From now on, these warm feelings
Let’s create them together
During hard times, you stayed by me, not saying a word
We watched the changing city and this sky together
Days when I was stubborn, too selfish, only picking fights
Your large gentle arms embrace me with forgiveness
“I love you” Even now
That won’t change even a bit since we met
My tears make it hard for me to speak
But thank you for everything
“I love you” Even now
I want to walk on with these unchanging feelings
Surely it won’t be a smooth journey
But together, we can overcome it
My tears make it hard for me to speak
But I’m glad I met you
Because I believe, I’m stronger than anyone else
That won’t change even a bit since we met
Please stay with me no matter what
That winter when we promised our love

Deatte kara ikutsu mono kisetsu ga sugita no
Kazoereba kiri ga nai kurai isshoni ita ne
Sasaina koto de sure chigatte naki jakutta hibi
Sore sae mo ima wa itoshikute… itoshikute…
Watashi no papa to watashi no mama mo konna deai wo shita no kana
Yukkuri michibiku ude ga hanare anata no te to musunde iku
“Anata ga suki desu” imademo konna ni
Deatta koro to sukoshi mo kawarazu ni
Atataka na omoi wo korekara mo
Futari de tsukutte ikou ne
Tsurai toki wa tada tonari de nannimo iwazu ni
Utsuri yuku machi ya kono sora wo isshoni mita ne
Iji wo hattemo wagamama sugitemo kenka bakari shiteta hi mo
Ookiku yasashii sono ryoute ga yurusu you ni tsutsunde kureru no
“Anata ga suki desu” imademo konna ni
Deatta koro to sukoshi mo kawaranai
Namida de umaku ienai kedo ne
Imamade no subete ni arigatou
“Suki da yo” imademo konna ni
Kawaranu omoi de aruite ikitai
Kitto umaku iku koto bakari ja nai
Demo futari de nara nori koerareru yo
Namida de umaku ienai kedo ne
Deaete yokatta
Shinjirareru kara dare yori mo tsuyoku
Deatta koro to sukoshi mo kawaranai
Donna toki datte soba ni ite ne
Aishiteru to chikatta ano fuyu

出逢ってからいくつもの 季節が過ぎたの
数えればきりがないくらい 一緒にいたね
些細なことですれ違って 泣きじゃくった日々
それさえも今は 愛しくて…愛しくて…
私のパパと私のママも こんな出逢いをしたのかな
ゆっくり導く腕が離れ あなたの手と結んでいく
「あなたが好きです」 今でもこんなに
出逢った頃と 少しも変わらずに
温かな想いを これからも
二人で作っていこうね
辛いときは ただ隣で何にも言わずに
移りゆく街やこの空を 一緒に見たね
意地をはっても 我が儘すぎても ケンカばかりしてた日も
大きく優しいその両手が 許すように包んでくれるの
「あなたが好きです」 今でもこんなに
出逢った頃と少しも変わらない
涙でうまく言えないけどね
今までの全てに ありがとう
「好きだよ」 今でもこんなに
変わらぬ想いで歩いていきたい
きっと上手くいくことばかりじゃない
でも二人でなら乗り越えられるよ
涙でうまく言えないけどね
出逢えてよかった
信じられるから 誰よりも強く
出逢った頃と少しも変わらない
どんな時だってそばにいてね
愛してると誓った あの冬
