雨が 明日に向かって
急ぐ足 ひきとめる
忘れ物なら 忘れたままと
置いてきたのに

空が流すなみだが
時計の針と日付を
あなたと出会い過ごした日々に 
心だけ還した

約束ならまだ覚えてる
去り行くモノは何故 いつも愛しい

早すぎた恋でした 傷つけあってばっかりで
涙は雨の様に 激しく止まない
あの日が手の平から遠く離れ 
気付きました

現在を尋ねないでよ
ほかの誰かのことも
知っているでしょ? 
嘘をつくのはあまり上手じゃない

話しの合う人はいるけど
胸を動かすような気持ちになれない

早すぎた恋でした 
確かめられないものが
あるから不思議なの 今は愛おしい
記憶の中を調べ なくしたのは 貴方でした

鮮やかだった 記憶の色は
時の経過と 共に 淡く

大好きな恋でした 大好きな人でした
だけど砂をかむように 目覚めのベルがなる
戻らなくちゃ わたしは今を歩いてるの
あなたのこと胸に抱き 笑いながら

Translation

 

As the rain faces tomorrow
I hold back from the fast pace
The things I'd forgotten
I left behind as forgotten

The tears that the sky shed
return the hands of time and the date
only in my heart
to the days that I met and spent with you

I still remember that promise at least
Why are the things we leave behind always the most beloved?

It was a love that went too fast,
and all it did was hurt
Like the rain, my tears are strong and won't stop
I realized that that day went far away from my grasp

Don't ask me about now
Or even about anyone else
You know, don't you?
I'm not very good at lying

There's people I can talk to
But they don't make my heart move

It was a love that went too fast
Because there are still things I can't confirm
It's strange, but I still hold you close
Searching inside my memories
The thing I lost was you

The vivid color of my memories
fades with the passing of time

It was my favorite love, he was the one I loved
But bitterly, my alarm clock rings
I've got to go back, I'm walking in the present
Holding you close to my heart as I laugh

* "Suna wo kamu you ni" literally means "like chewing sand." It sounds really weird in the context of the translation, so I just translated it as meaning "bitter."
