Our misunderstandings drift beyond the sky
重い違いは空の彼方
omoi chigai wa sora no kanata
Is life nothing but a series of goodbyes?
さよならだけの人生か
sayonara dake no jinsei ka
Even though I could see just a little bit of the future
ほんの少しの未来は見えたのに
hon no sukoshi no mirai wa mietano ni
It’s goodbye after all
さよならなんだ
sayonara nanda

The small room I used to live in
昔住んでた小さな部屋は
mukashi sundetai chiisana heya wa
Is occupied by someone else now
今は誰かが住んでんだ
ima wa dareka ga sunden da
The cruel words you said to me
君に言われたひどい言葉も
kimi ni iwareta hidoi kotoba mo
And the days that felt meaningless too
無駄な気がした毎日も
mudana ki ga shita mainichi mo

If only I had done things differently back then
あの時こうしていれば
ano toki kou shite ireba
If only I could return to that day
あの日に戻れれば
ano hi ni modoreba
But I can no longer go back to who I was in those days
あの頃の僕にはもう、戻れないよ
ano koro no boku ni wa mou, modorenai yo

For example, if a gentle kind of happiness
例えばゆるい幸せが
tatoeba yurui shiawase ga
Had simply dragged on lazily
だらっと続いたとする
daratto tsuzuita to suru
Surely some bad seed would sprout
きっと悪い種が目を出して
kitto warui tane ga me wo dashite
And it would already be goodbye
もうさよならなんだ
mou sayonara nanda

A cold can of coffee in the freezing winter
寒い冬の冷えた缶コーヒーと
samui fuyu no hieta kan koohii to
And a long rainbow-colored scarf
虹色の長いマフラーと
niji iro no nagai mafuraa to
Jogging lightly through the back alleys
小走りで路地裏を抜けて
koboshiri de rojiura wo nukete
I try to remember
思い出してみる
omoidasu te miru

For example, if a gentle kind of happiness
例えばゆるい幸せが
tatoeba yurui shiawase ga
Had simply dragged on lazily
だらっと続いたとする
daratto tsuzuita to suru
Surely some bad seed would sprout
きっと悪い種が目を出して
kitto warui tane ga me wo dashite
And it would already be goodbye
もうさよならなんだ
mou sayonara nanda

That’s how it is
なんだ
nanda

Goodbye — that’s fine too
さよなら、それもいいさ
sayonara, sore mo ii sa
Be well somewhere out there
どこかで元気でやれよ
doko ka de genki de yare yo
Goodbye — I’ll manage somehow too
さよなら、僕もどうにかやるさ
sayonara, boku mo dounika yaru sa
Goodbye — yeah, I will
さよなら、そうするよ
sayonara, sou suru yo
