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
