Kanji/Translation

2人ここではじめて会ったのが　2月前の今日だね
キスの仕方さえまだ知らなかった　僕の最初の Sweet girl friend
たわいもないささやかな記念日　暦にそっと記してた
「今日何の日だっけ?」ってたずねると　少し戸惑って答えた
the two of us first met here, it was today two months ago wasn’t it
i didn’t even know how to kiss you, my first sweet girl friend
our silly little anniversary, i’ve secretly written on the calendar
“do you know what day it is today?” i asked, a little surprised you answered

「前の彼氏の誕生日だ」と笑って答える　笑顔　はがゆい
そんな話は耳をふさぎたくなるんだよ　確かに
君が彼といた3年の　想い出にはまだかなわない
それでもこんなに好きなのに　すれ違いの数が多すぎて
“it’s my ex-boyfriend’s birthday” you said with a smile, your face a little vexed
these were words that were really depressing to my ears, definitely
i can’t be compared with the memories of the 3 years you and him had together
but still because i really like you so much, there are too many occasions when we pass each other by

心の通わぬ　やりとりばかり　これ以上くり返すよりも
あなたの心が　答え出すまで　このまま2人会わない方が
それが明日でも　5年先でも　いつでもここで待ってるから
約束しようよ　そして2人　心に赤い糸をしっかり結んで
without an emotional bond, it is merely an exchange that we keep on repeating
until your heart gives an answer, it’s better for us to stay apart like this
no matter if it is tomorrow or in the next 5 years, i’ll always be waiting here
let’s make a promise and tie the red string in our hearts tightly

あの頃つぼみだった花はもう　あでやかな色をつけた
秋が過ぎ冬を越え枯れ果てた　今の僕を映している
the flower that was a bud that time had turned a beautiful colour
but it wilted as autumn passed and it crossed the winter, reflecting how i am right now

時間ばかりが無情にも過ぎ　途方に暮れる　まぶたの裏に
他の誰かと歩く君の姿が浮かんで…
もう2度と会えないような気がしてた
いっそ会わずにいようかとも
はりさける胸押さえながら　信じてきたその答えが今
time is also too heartless, i am at a loss, under my eyelids
an image of you walking with someone else floats up…
i felt like i might not meet you ever again
how much sooner do i want to meet you
as i keep check on my splitting heart, i believe the answer is now

「会ってくれますか?」とあなたの手紙　いつわりのない言葉たちが
あふれた涙でにじんでゆくよ　あの場所へむかえに行くから
泣かないでおくれ　今日は2人の1年目の記念日だから
お祝いしようよ　強く結んだ　糸がほどけずにいた事も
“can we meet?” written on your letter, your truthful words
were smudged by tears you spilled, i made my way to welcome you back to that place
please don’t cry, because today is our first anniversary
let’s celebrate it, that our tightly bound string has not come untied

愛されることを望むばかりで　信じることを忘れないで
ゴールの見えない旅でもいい
愛する人と　信じる道を　さあゆっくりと歩こう
i merely hope to be loved, don’t forget the things you believed in
it’s fine even if it is a journey with no goal in sight
let’s slowly walk on the path we believe in, with the person we love
