Kanashimi.

Riding on the wind blowing toward tomorrow while holding my many sorrows
It’s okay, let’s rest for a bit, then let’s move forward again.

As the world continues to turn, I’ll soon realize that my pain will never fade
But still, I’ll close my eyes now.

Memories will turn into smiles
Hope is what can make that happen
When the sun sets before I know it, I’m in slumber’s embrace
May my memories turn into smiles
When I cherish just the joy from meeting you
I’ll quietly wave, saying, “Goodbye”.

Let’s start again from tomorrow, repainting the sky of grief
It’s okay, because surely wishes will shine on everyone.

The world is dreaming, seeking a peaceful era
The time before dawn is all too silent.

I won’t make promises take shape
Because I know it in my heart
We’ll wordlessly communicate that what we want should be the same
The promise is the warmth from that day
I’ll whisper behind your back that I’m happy that I met you
If I quietly wave, saying, “Thank you”…

Memories will turn into smiles
Hope is what can make that happen
When the sun sets before I know it, I’m in slumber’s embrace
May my memories turn into smiles
When I cherish just the joy from meeting you
I’ll quietly wave, saying, “Goodbye,” while holding my sorrow.
