あの日のさよなら (Ano hi no sayonara) – That day’s goodbye

from Sayonara, Alice / TOMORROW ~Shiawase no housoku~ single.

——

Even now, I still
Love you so much
I never expected this to happen
I should have forgotten you

That day’s goodbye
If I hadn’t said that
My heart would surely
Not have known this pain

On the opposite side
Of the huge intersection
You were smiling happily
When I spotted you

Unsure if I should call out
Before I knew it
I was hurrying away, escaping
Dashing into a narrow alley

Why, why are my tears
Overflowing like this?
I acted strong and pretended
I should have forgotten you

That day’s goodbye
I’m surely the only one
Whose heart is still
Being tugged along somewhere

I heaved
A small sigh
As I gently wiped the scattered tears
Away with my index finger

When I lifted my head
Right before my eyes
Smiling happily
You passed me by

The cologne
I used to love
You’re still using it
Carried by the wind
Maybe the one who changed
Was me?

Whispering “― I’m still loving you.
Why did I say good-bye to you?―”
That time, I should have forgotten how to cry
I should have forgotten you

That day’s goodbye
If I hadn’t said that
My heart would surely
Not have known this pain

Imademo mada konna ni
Anata wo suki da nante
Omottemo inakatta
Wasureta tsumori datta

Ano hi no sayonara
Iwanakatta no nara
Kokoro wa itami wo
Shirazu ni ita no kitto

Kyodai na kousaten no
Mukou gawa de
Tanoshisou ni waratteiru
Anata mitsuketa toki

Koe wo kakeyou ka mayotte
Ki ga tsukeba
Nigeru you ni isoide
Semai roji he kake konda

Doushite naze konna ni
Namida ga afureru no
Tsuyogatte gomakashita
Wasureta tsumori datta

Ano hi no sayonara
Watashi dake ga mada
Kokoro no dokoka de
Hiki zutteiru no kitto

Chiisaku tameiki
Tsuki nagara
Hitosashiyubi kobore ochiru
Namida sotto haratta

Kao wo ageyou to shita toki
Me no mae wo
Tanoshisou ni waratte
Anata wa toori sugite itta

Watashi no
Suki datta kousui
Mada tsukatteru no ne
Kaze ga hakonde kita yo
Kawatta no wa
Watashi datta no kana?

Tsubuyaku “― I’m still loving you.
Why did I say good-bye to you?―”
Naku koto mo ano toki ni
Wasureta tsumori datta

Ano hi no sayonara
Iwanakatta no nara
Kokoro wa itami wo
Shirazu ni ita no kitto

いまでもまだこんなに
あなたを好きだなんて
思っても　いなかった
忘れたつもりだった

あの日のさよなら
言わなかったのなら
心は　痛みを
知らずにいたの　きっと

巨大な　交差点の
向こう側で
楽しそうに　笑っている
あなた　見つけた時

声をかけようか迷って
気がつけば
逃げる様に　急いで
せまい路地へ駆け込んだ

どうして何故こんなに
涙があふれるの
強がって　ごまかした
忘れたつもりだった

あの日のさよなら
私だけがまだ
心の　何処かで
引きずっているの　きっと

小さく　ため息
つきながら
人差し指　零れ落ちる
涙　そっと払った

顔をあげようとした時
目の前を
楽しそうに　笑って
あなたは通り過ぎていった

私の
好きだった香水
まだ使ってるのね
風が運んできたよ
変わったのは
私だったのかな？

つぶやく ‘― I’m still loving you.
Why did I say good-bye to you？―’
泣くことも　あの時に
忘れたつもりだった

あの日のさよなら
言わなかったのなら
心は　痛みを
知らずにいたの　きっと
