改札の前つなぐ手と手 
いつものざわめき、新しい風
明るく見送るはずだったのに 
うまく笑えずに君を見ていた

君が大人になってくその季節が
悲しい歌で溢れないように
最後に何か君に伝えたくて
「さよなら」に代わる言葉を僕は探してた

君の手を引くその役目が僕の使命だなんて 
そう思ってた
だけど今わかったんだ 僕らならもう 
重ねた日々がほら、導いてくれる

君が大人になってくその時間が
降り積もる間に僕も変わってく
たとえばそこにこんな歌があれば
ふたりはいつもどんな時もつながっていける

突然ふいに鳴り響くベルの音
焦る僕 解ける手 離れてく君
夢中で呼び止めて 抱き締めたんだ
君がどこに行ったって僕の声で守るよ

君が僕の前に現れた日から
何もかもが違くみえたんだ
朝も光も涙も、歌う声も
君が輝きをくれたんだ

抑えきれない思いをこの声に乗せて
遠く君の街へ届けよう
たとえばそれがこんな歌だったら
ぼくらは何処にいたとしてもつながっていける

Translation

 

Hand-in-hand before your ticket was checked
The usual background noise, a new wind
I should have seen you off cheerfully
But I looked at you, and couldn't smile very well

The season that you grew up in
Seemed to not overflow with sad songs
I wanted to tell you one final thing
I searched for words to take the place of "goodbye"

The duty of tugging on your hand is my mission
That's what I thought
But now I know, that when it comes to us
Those past days are leading the way

When the season that you grew up in
Lies thick, I change too
If there's a song there
Then we can be linked to one another always, at any time

Suddenly and abruptly, the sound of a bell rings out
I'm in a hurry, our hands detach, and you leave
In a daze, I called out to you, and held you
Where did you go? I'll protect you with my voice

From the day that you appeared before my eyes
Everything seemed closer to me
The morning, lights, tears, and singing voices
You gave me something that shines bright

Memories that I can't control are in my voice
I'll send them out to the city where you are, far away
If there's a song like this one there
Then we can be linked to one another, wherever we try to go
