Naze yue ni omoide mabushii
Hitomi tōku oikaketa dejabu
Tsunaideta tezawari wa tashikani
Mune ni nokoru michi no shirube
Itsumademo kisetsu wa onaji basho ni irarenai
Nando kinō wo furikaette mo
Mitsukaranai
Ima o ikiteku kokoro no chizu ni
Kotae wa
Kaerenai hibi yo semete mo
Iro o asezu ni kagayakeba ii
Miwataseba tonari ni daiji na mono fueteyuku
Mukaikaze demo tachimukaeru to
Senaka o osu
Itsuka daremo ga hohoemiaeru
Kiseki e arukidasetara
Nando kinō wo furikaette mo
Mitsukaranai
Itsumo kotae wa ashita no saki ni
Aru kara
何故ゆえに 想い出 眩しい
瞳 遠く 追いかけた
繋いでた 手ざわりは 確かに
胸に残る 道の
いつまでも季節は 同じ
何度昨日を 振り返っても
見つからない
帰れない日々よ せめても
色を褪せずに 輝けば良い
見渡せばとなりに 大事なものふえてゆく
向かい風でも 立ち向かえると
背中を押す
いつか誰もが 微笑みあえる
奇跡へ 歩きだせたら
何度昨日を 振り返っても
見つからない
いつも
あるから
Why are these memories so dazzling?
In the distance is the feeling of déjà vu my eyes have chased.
This once connected touch is surely,
The signpost remaining in my chest.
The seasons won't stay in the same place forever.
No matter how many times I look back on yesterday,
I can’t find it.
On the map of my heart, which lives in the present,
The answer...
To those days I can't return to, at the very least,
Don't let your color fade, and shine.
Looking out beside me, the number of precious things keeps increasing.
Even if there's a headwind, if I stand against it,
It pushes me forward.
One day, everyone can smile,
If I walk towards a miracle.
No matter how many times I look back on yesterday,
I can’t find it,
Because the answer is always,
Beyond tomorrow.
