English translation 

 

My body knows more about my heart than me
If I’m nervous, sweat runs across my palms
I wonder when, biting my molar teeth, in the tears that should have been stopped,
I was taught of a thing called regretting sadness
Cramming a bunch of hopeful words in my bag, I left on a journey
When I came back, you caught me
Even on days where I was at a loss for words
You held me tightly without needing words
Even though you were the one who had always been more lonely

Patting my back when I squat down
Is your small palm which is always at my side
I was saved by that warmth
Much more than beautifully decorated words could ever do
In the times where not everything goes right
And surely in the times when just about everything goes wrong
People notice what’s important in their life
To you, who loves me no matter what kind of person I am
Thank you, for always being by my side

Lying down on the grass and gazing at the flowing clouds
I was able to take back my quiet heart
At that place where I was able to become a little kinder than yesterday
I reflected upon the fact that I couldn’t go on living alone
But still, in a far off place, I was enchanted by a swaying flower of miracles
Everyday, which should be protected, has been dried up
On older days, not realizing how young I was in my youth,
I ran through it, and now I’ve realized
That I overlooked the importance of people important to me

I can’t live with just beautiful feelings
The promised sky has been stained
Although I vowed “surely…”, to that beautiful sky’s blue
Unable to let go of broken ideals, I looked back on the days I lived
But if people only looked back, tomorrow would get sad
So we have no choice but to face forward
For the sake of those we love right in front of our eyes

Rubbing the invisible scars in my eyes
Was your gentle palm
Much better than having applause throughout the world
Was something important that was right there at my side

Living each busy day with doubt
Even on days where I think sympathy is meaningless
So I won’t have to lose it again to realize its true meaning
To you, the one who loved a person like me
I wrote you a song of “thank you”

Words aren’t enough
Surely they can’t catch up with you
Words aren’t enough, but,
thank you.
