汽車を待つ君の横で僕は
時計を気にしてる
季節はずれの雪が降ってる
東京で見る雪はこれが最後ねと
さみしそうに君がつぶやく
なごり雪も降るときを知り
ふざけすぎた季節のあとで
今春が来て君はきれいになった
去年よりずっときれいになった

動き始めた汽車の窓に顔をつけて
君はなにか言おうとしている
君のくちびるがさようならと
動くことが
こわくて下をむいてた
時がゆけば幼い君も
大人になると気づかないまま
今春が来て君はきれいになった
去年よりずっときれいになった

君が去ったホームにのこり
落ちてはとける雪を見ていた
今春が来て君はきれいになった
去年よりずっときれいになった
去年よりずっときれいになった
去年よりずっときれいになった

Translation

 

Beside you
I wait for the train
snow drifts through the air, measures time for the season,
last snow in Tokyo this year,
an ending…
Do you think next year will see us parted, perhaps with others?
you have been anxious in these days before spring, perhaps
the rush of spring will free you from all attachments,
move you free into a new year…

Staring at your face
reflected in the window of the slowly moving train,
I think you want to tell me something,
your lips are trembling like your soul,
afraid to move on…
Time moves you from innocence to experience
without warning, you grow up! perhaps
the rush of spring will free you from all attachments,
move you free into a new year…

This year's last snow falls all around the home you are leaving,
But the snow cannot stick to the coming spring,
you look and the snow dissolves before your eyes…
spring rush will clear you of all attachments,
this new year will make you free.
this new year will make you free.
this new year will make you free.
