黄昏の駅で 胸が震えた
はやい足どり まぎれもなく
昔愛してた あの人なのね
懐かしさの一歩手前で

こみあげる 苦い思い出に
言葉がとても 見つからないわ
あなたがいなくても こうして
元気で暮らしていることを
さり気なく 告げたかったのに…

二年の時が 変えたものは
彼のまなざしと 私のこの髪
それぞれに待つ人のもとへ
戻ってゆくのね 気づきもせずに

ひとつ隣の車輌に乗り
うつむく横顔 見ていたら
思わず涙 あふれてきそう
今になって あなたの気持ち
初めてわかるの 痛いほど
私だけ 愛してたことも

ラッシュの人波にのまれて
消えてゆく 後ろ姿が
やけに哀しく 心に残る
改札口を出る頃には
雨もやみかけた この街に
ありふれた夜が やって来る

Mioboe no aru reinkooto
Tasogare no eki de mune ga furueta
Hayai ashidori magire mo naku
Mukashi ai shiteta ano hito na no ne

Natsukashisa no ippo temae de
Komiageru nigai omoide ni
Kotoba ga totemo mitsukaranai wa
Anata ga inakutemo kou shite
Genki de kurashite iru koto wo
Sarigenaku tsugetakatta no ni...

Ninen no toki ga kaeta mono wa
Kare no manazashi to watashi no kono kami
Sorezore ni matsu hito no moto e
Modotte yuku no ne kizuki mo sezu ni

Hitotsu tonari no sharyou ni nori
Utsumuku yokogao mite itara
Omowazu namida afurete kisou
Ima ni natte anata no kimochi
Hajimete wakaru no itai hodo
Watashi dake ai shiteta koto mo

Rasshu no hitonami ni nomarete
Kiete yuku ushiro sugata ga
Yake ni kanashiku kokoro ni nokoru
Kaisatsuguchi wo deru koro ni wa
Ame mo yamikaketa kono machi ni
Arifureta yoru ga yatte kuru

Translation

 

That familiar raincoat
My heart trembls in the twilight station
Those quick footsteps belong to none other
Than the one I loved long ago

The bitter memories well up
A step ahead of the nostalgia
I can't find the words
I just wanted to casually let you know
That I'm doing just fine
Without you...

All that's changed in two years
Is his gaze and my hair
We both have people to go home to
You don't even notice me

I get on the car next to yours
And when I see you looking down
I suddenly feel like I'm about to cry
For the first time now
I realize how you felt and it hurts
And I realize I was the only one in love

The sight of you as you disappear
Swallowed up by the rush hour crowd
Stays in my heart and makes me sad
When I get out of the ticket gate
The rain's almost let up
And another ordinary night has come to this town
