細い路地裏に咲いてる花のように

Like a flower blooming in a narrow alley

誰も気づかない 咲かせた恋ごころ

No one noticed, the love I let bloom

いつもすぐ傍に いつでも届く距離に

Always right beside me, always within reach

居たのに見落とした うつむいていたから

But I overlooked you, because I was looking down

ぽっかり空いた 君との時間 あの日の涙を

The time with you, that was suddenly empty, the tears of that day

ぬぐえず また 思い出すよ 忘れられないんだよ

I can't wipe them away, and I remember again, I can't forget you

ねぇ、覚えてる?

Hey, do you remember?

ねぇ、聞こえる? 過ぎたことのように思うけど

Hey, can you hear? Though it feels like it's in the past

ねぇ、その声も その仕種も ぼくはまだ覚えてる

Hey, your voice, your gestures, I still remember them

伝えそこねた想いがまた ぼくの心掻き乱すよ

The feelings I failed to convey once again stir my heart

この悲しみも ねぇ、いつかは微笑みに変わるかなぁ…

This sadness too, hey, will it someday turn into a smile...?

暮れる街並みに ぼんやり浮かんだ月

The moon vaguely floating in the darkening cityscape

ふわりと包み込む あじさい色の君

You, the color of hydrangea, gently enveloped me

今さらだって思うんだけど どうしようもなくて

I think it's too late now, but I can't help it

懲りずに また思い出すよ 滲んでいく恋文

Without learning my lesson, I remember again, a love letter blurring

もう 逢えないの?

Can't we meet anymore?

たとえば ほら、この痛み やわらいだ頃

For example, look, when this pain has softened

ねぇ、逢いたいよ 偶然でも 僕はかまわないから

Hey, I want to see you, even by chance, I don't mind

少しくたびれた心 ぬくもりを降らす雨

My slightly tired heart, rain pouring warmth

ジンと沁みるこの胸に 愁い唄う君への詩

A poem for you, singing sorrow, deeply piercing this chest

ねぇ、逢いたいよ

Hey, I want to see you

ねぇ、逢えないの? こんなにも想っているのに…

Hey, can't we meet? Even though I think of you so much...

ねぇ、その声も その仕種も ぼくはまだ覚えてる

Hey, your voice, your gestures, I still remember them

伝えそこねた想いもほら そっと包み込む恋詩

Look, the feelings I failed to convey are also gently enveloped in this love poem

この悲しみも ねぇ、いつかは微笑みに変わるんだろう

This sadness too, hey, will it someday turn into a smile?
