もう 終わり だね 君   が  小さく    見える
Mou   owari dane kimi ga chiisaku mieru 
Now we are over  You look smaller today
僕      は  思わず       君     を 抱きしめたく    なる
Boku wa omowazu kimi wo dakishimetaku naru 
I can't help but to hug you

「私        は  泣かない から このまま    ひとり に して」
"watashi wa nakanai kara konomama itori    ni shite"
"I won't cry, so please leave me alone"
君     の ほほ   を   涙       が 流れて      は  落ちる
kimi no hoho wo namida ga nagarete wa ochiru 
Tears fall through your cheeks and drop

「僕ら   は    自由 だね」 いつか そう  話した      ね
"bokura wa jiyuu dane"    itsuka sou hanashita ne
"We are free"  Once we talked about it
まるで    今日  の  こと  なんて 思い も  しない で
marude kyou no koto nante omoi mo shinai de 
Back then we had no idea day like today would come



さよなら さよなら さよなら もう  すぐ   外    は  白い    冬
Sayonara Sayonara Sayonara mou sugu soto wa shiroi fuyu
Good-bye, Good-bye, Good-bye  Soon it will be white winter outside
愛した  のは   たしか  に   君  だけ 
aishita nowa tashika ni kimi dake 
The one I loved was definitely you only    are
そのまま     の    君   だけ
sonomama no kimi dake
You are my only love as the way you



愛 は  哀しい    ね    僕   の   かわり に  君   が
ai wa kanashii ne boku no kawari ni kimi ga 
Love is so sad  Instead of me you would be
今日 は   誰か    の   胸     に 眠る    かも    知れない
kyou wa darea no mune ni nemuru kamo shirenai 
sleeping in someone else's arm today


僕     が  てれる から  誰    も   見ていない 道      を
boku ga tereru kara dare mo miteinai   michi wo 
Because I feel so shy, the deserted road that no one watches
寄りそい 歩ける    寒い   日 が 
yorisoi   arukeru samui hi ga 
on a cold day when we could walk such a road side by side  
君   は  好き  だった
kimi wa suki datta 
That was your favorite day


さよなら さよなら さよなら もう  すぐ   外    は  白い    冬
Sayonara Sayonara Sayonara mou sugu soto wa shiroi fuyu
Good-bye, Good-bye, Good-bye  Soon it will be white winter outside
愛した  のは   たしか  に   君  だけ 
aishita nowa tashika ni kimi dake 
The one I loved was definitely you only    are
そのまま     の    君   だけ
sonomama no kimi dake
You are my only love as the way you


さよなら さよなら さよなら もう  すぐ   外    は  白い    冬
Sayonara Sayonara Sayonara mou sugu soto wa shiroi fuyu
Good-bye, Good-bye, Good-bye  Soon it will be white winter outside
愛した  のは   たしか  に   君  だけ

外    は  今日   も   雨 やがて    雪   に  なって
soto wa kyou mo ame yagate yuki ni natte 
It is raining again Soon it will be snowing
僕ら     の   心       の  なか  に 降り 積る    だろう
bokura no kokoro no naka ni   furi-tsumoru darou
and it will fall and pile up on our heart
降り  積る     だろう 
furi-tsumoru darou
