Hello my friend 君   に 恋した    夏    が  あったね
Hello my friend, kimi ni koishita natsu ga attane
Hello my friend, there was one summer I fell in love with you
みじかくて 気まぐれ    な  夏     だった
Mijikakute kimagure na natsu datta
It was a short and capricious summer
Destiny 君   は  とっくに 知って いた よ ね
Destiny kimi wa tokku ni shitte  ita yo ne
Destiny, you knew it long ago
戻れない     安らぎ    も   ある こと を Ah…
Modorenai yasuragi mo aru koto wo Ah...
There is a peace of mind you can't ever regain
悲しくて      悲しくて          帰り   道     探した
Kanashikute kanashikute kaeri-michi sagashita
I felt sad, I was so sad and searched for a way back
もう 二度 と  会えなく ても    友達       と  呼ばせて
Mou nido to aenaku temo tomodachi to yobasete
Even if we can't meet again, let me call you my friend


Hello my friend 今年    も   たたみだした  ストア-
Hello my friend  kotoshi mo tatamidashita sore
Hello my friend, the stores started closing again this year
台風   が   ゆく   頃    は   涼しく      なる
Taifuu ga yuku koro wa suzushiku naru
When the typhoon leaves, it becomes cooler
Yesterday  君 に  恋した    夏     の 痛み
Yesterday kimi ni koishita natsu no itami
Yesterday, the pain of summer when I fell in love with you
抱きしめる     この    季節    走る     たび Ah…
Dakishimeru kono kisetsu hashiru tabi Ah...
Whenever I drive in this season when I get that pain 
淋しくて        淋しくて       君   の   こと   想う  よ
Samishikute samishikute kimi no koto omou yo
I get lonely I feel so lonely and think of you
離れても        胸      の  奥   の   友達         で いさせて
Hanaretemo mune no oku no tomodachi de isasete
Even if we are apart, let me think of you as a friend at the bottom of my heart

僕      が  生き 急ぐとき には そっと たしなめて    おくれ よ
Boku ga iki-isogu toki niwa sotto tashinamete okure yo
Please scold me when I make haste in living fully


悲しくて        悲しくて       君   の  名  を   呼んで も
Kanashikute kanashikute kimi no na wo yonde mo
I feel sad, I'm so sad and I call for you, but
めぐり   来ぬ  あの   夏  の  日   君   を   失くして   から
Meguri konu ano natsu no hi kimi wo nakushite kara
That summer day won't return after I lost you

淋しくて         淋しくて     君    の   こと を   想う  よ 
Samishikute samishikute kimi no koto wo omou yo
I get lonely I feel so lonely and think of you
離れても        胸     の   奥   の  友達          で いさせて
Hanaretemo mune no oku no tomodachi de isasete
Even if we are apart, let me think of you as a friend at the bottom of my heart

悲しくて         悲しくて      君    の  こと  想う   よ
Kanashikute kanashikute kimi no koto omou yo
I feel sad, I'm so sad and think of you 
もう 二度 と  会えなく ても    友達       と  呼ばせて
Mou nido to aenaku temo tomodachi to yobasete
Even if we can't meet again, let me call you my friend
