気(き)づけば懐(なつ)かしい川原(かわら)に来(き)てみたり

Before I know it, I'm back on the familiar riverbank

昨日(きのう)みた夢(ゆめ)の続(つづ)き想像(そうぞう)してたり

Or imagining what came after last night's dream

あの日(ひ)少年(しょうねん)の君(きみ)が大人(おとな)びてみえて

That day, you were still a boy, yet suddenly seemed grown

さよならも言(い)えず傘(かさ)に隠(かく)れた

I hid beneath my umbrella and couldn't even say goodbye

すれ違(ちが)いもしも… なんてことを

The things we missed, the “if only I had…”

時(とき)に忘(わす)れ咲(さ)き

Sometimes bloom again, out of season

愛(あい)だとか恋(こい)だなんて変(か)わりゆくものじゃなく

It's not love or romance that changes

ただ君(きみ)を好(す)きそんな風(ふう)にずっとね思(おも)ってるような

I just like you, as if I want to go on liking you forever

あてのない想(おも)い抱(かか)えただ人(ひと)は振(ふ)り返(かえ)るもの

With feelings that have nowhere to go, people look back

巡(めぐ)りあえた景色(けしき)をそっと

And gently keep the scenes they happened upon

消(き)えぬようにとどめてゆく

So they won't disappear

夕暮(ゆうぐ)れの空(そら)とか風(かぜ)にゆれる木々(きぎ)に

Pretending to be absorbed, I gaze at the evening sky

見惚れる(みとれる)ふりをしながら幾度(いくど)過(す)ごした

Or at trees swaying in the wind—how much time have I spent like that?

なるべく傷(きず)つけぬよう傷(きず)つかぬように

So we hurt each other and get hurt as little as possible

切(せつ)なさもほらね押(お)し殺(ころ)せる

Look, I can even hold back the pain

愛(あい)だと名付(なづ)ければそれが愛(あい)だといえる

If I call it love, then I can say it is love

何(なに)かを求(もと)めるとか形(かたち)あるものじゃなく

I ask for nothing, and don't need a definite shape

ただ好(す)きでいるそんな風(ふう)にいれたらいいなって思(おも)う

I just like you; I wish it could stay that way

孤独(こどく)や弱気(よわき)だとか押(お)しよせる夜(よる) 忘(わす)れ咲(さ)き

On nights when loneliness and fear rise up, my longing blooms out of season

人恋(ひとこい)しさぬぐえるような強(つよ)さなど持(も)てるでしょうか…

Can I find the strength to erase my attachment to someone else…?

愛(あい)だとか恋(こい)だなんて変(か)わりゆくものじゃなく

It's not love or romance that changes

ただ好(す)きでいるそんな風(ふう)にずっとね

I just keep loving you, always

思(おも)っていれたら…

If only it could stay that way…

孤独(こどく)や躊躇(ためら)い弱気(よわき)が押(お)しよせる夜(よる)に忘(わす)れ咲(さ)いた

On nights when loneliness, hesitation, and fear rise up, my longing blooms out of season

思(おも)い出(で)そっと枯(か)れゆくまで今宵(こよい)まだ身(み)をまかせて

Tonight, too, I immerse myself in it until the memory quietly withers
