Kaerimichi wa yuuhi wo se ni
Kimi no sukoshi ushiro wo aruku

With the setting sun behind me on our way home
I'd walk a little distance behind you

Se no takai kimi ni awase
Itsumo hohaba ga ookiku naru

You are tall, so to match with your pace
My steps would always get a little bigger

Kono saka wo no borikitte shimattara
Mou wakare michi ga sugu soko ni

Once we've climbed to the top of this slope
That would be when we have to part

Kimi wa utsumuite
"Ato sukoshi dakara" to
Kao mo mizu watashi ni te wo sashidasu

You would look down
Saying "Only a little more"
And hold out your hand for me without looking me in the face

Arifureteru shiawase ni koi shita
Sonna toki ga ima mo yasashikute
Furikaereba sono te ga sugu soko ni
Aru you na ki ga ima mo shiteru

I fell in love with that simple happiness
Even now those days remain a gentle memory in me
If I'd just turn back your hand would be right there for me
Even now I still feel that way

Itsu no ma ni ka kimi dake wo mite ita
Kimi ga ireba waratte irareta
Fureta yubi ni tsutau kodou sae mo
Sono subete ga itoshikatta

Before I realized it you were the only thing in my vision
As long as you were with me I was able to smile
Your heartbeats I felt from your fingers touching mine
All of that was so dear to me

Wakare michi de yubi wo hanashi
Futari se wo mukete arukidasu

At our parting point, we'd let go of the other's fingers
Turn our backs toward each other and walk our own ways

Futo furikaetta saki ni
Kimi no sugata wa mou nakatta

When I suddenly looked back
You were no longer there

Kimi no hanasu koto kimi no kaku mono
Kyou mita keshiki wo wasurenai

The stories you told me the visions you painted
The scenery we saw today--I won't ever forget

Kedo omou hodo ni
Naze da ka kowakute
Nagai kage no watashi mo mata yuraida

But the more I thought of them
The more anxious I felt, somehow
The long shadow of mine trembled

Arifureteru shiawase ni koi shita
Sonna toki ga tsudzuku ki ga shiteta
Nani mo ka mo ga hajimete no omoide
Asu no koto sae shirazu ni ita

I fell in love with that simple happiness
I felt as if those days would continue
Everything was a first memory for me
I didn't even care about what would happen the day after

Donna toki mo dake wo mite ite
Kimi no tame ni warau hazu datta
Dakedo toki no naka ni sorete yuki
Kimi no te ga hanarete shimau

I'd look at you at all times
And smile for you--or so it was supposed to be
But we started to stray from each other in the flow of time
And your hand left mine

Arifureteru shiawase ni koi shita
Sonna toki ga ima mo yasashikute
Furikaereba sono te ga sugu soko ni
Aru you na ki ga ima mo shiteru

I fell in love with that simple happiness
Even now those days remain a gentle memory in me
If I'd just turn back your hand would be right there for me
Even now I still feel that way

Yuuhi wo se ni nagai kage wo tsurete
Ima hitori de kono saka wo noboru
Me wo tojireba
Dareka wo sagashite iru
Osanaki hi no watashi ni deau
