Japanese Lyrics
Sayonara
Isogu you ni
Anata ni furi-dasu ame
Nani ka
Nan demo ii hanashite
Motto soba ni itai

Kono te o hanaseba mou
Anata ni todokanai no
Korae kirenaku naru omoi ni
Kitsuku hitomi tojita

Nakanai de
Saigo made
Sono kao mo koe mo
Kokoro ni kizande itai no ni
Dou shite na no
Shinjitakunai
Omoide ni nante
Anata o aishisugite iru

Kotoba ni dekinai hodo
Kokoro ga sakebu keredo
Ame ni kono mama hiki-tometara
Anata nurete shimau

Damatte kabau you ni
Yasashiku tsutsunda yubi
Itsu ka oboete ita subete ga
Touku hanarete iku

Furi-mukanai anata ni
"Itsu ka wa aeru" to
Saigo no yakusoku matte ita
Ni-do to onaji yume o mirenai
Wakatte iru kedo
Kono mama toki o tometai

Nakanai de
Saigo made
Anata ga mienai
Senaka ga mijinde kiete yuku
Shinjitakunai
Mada dekinai
Omoide ni nante
Anata o aishisugite iru

English Translation
As it started to rain,
You seemed in a hurry to say goodbye.
Let's talk about something...anything.
I want to be with you a little longer.

If I let go of your hand,
I will never hold it again.
I've bravely closed my eyes against
Emotions that are overwhelming me.

I won't cry until it's over.
Even though that face and voice
Are tearing my heart apart
Why did this happen?
I don't want to believe it...
With all these memories
I love you too much.

I can't even speak,
Though my heart cries out.
If I keep holding you back like this,
You'll be soaked by the rain.

In a quiet, protective way,
You gently wrap your hands around mine.
Some day,
My memories of this will fade away.

Without looking back,
You say, "We'll meet again someday,"
The final promise I was waiting for.
I know we can never share
The same dreams again, but...
I wish I could stop time like this.

I don't cry until it's over.
Once you can't see me,
My courage melts away.
I don't want to believe...
I still can't...
With all these memories.
I love you too much.
