Sayonara Dake ga Shitetta

Only Goodbye Knew

Asada Yoko


Kaze ga fuku ame ga furu donna hi ni mo omou
Issho ni ita toki yori mo kangaeteru nante
Hoshi wo miru uta utau tanoshii koto wa subete
Hitori ja dekinai kurai muzukashikatta ka na?

Zenzen mienai keredo shinjiteru
Fukai fukai kanashimi no saki ni aru mono...

Aitakute aenakute
Demo sore de owari nante chotto kawaisou
Sekkaku deata koto ga
Anata kara uketotta
Yasashisa wa ima mo kono mune ni aru kara
Sore wa dareka ni mo ageyou
Sayonara ga tsurete kita daiji na koto

Hana ga saku niji ga deru sasai na hibi no henka
Kidzuite yuketara kitto egao wa modoru yo ne

Zenzen kikoenakutemo hibiiteru
Tooi tooi anata kara eeru no koe ga...

Aitakute aenakute
Dakishimeta sabishisa wo oboete itai
Massugu mitsumeta koto wo
Anata kara osowatta
Yuuki nara ima mo kono mune ni aru kara
Motto takumashiku ikikou
Sayonara ga tsurete kita daiji na koto

Sayonara dake ga shitteta suteki na koto

The wind blows and the rain falls on any day that I think of you
How is it I'm thinking of you even more now than when were were together?
Gazing at stars, singing songs, all of the fun things
I wonder, were they so difficult that I can't do them alone?

I can't see it at all, but I believe
What lies beyond deep, deep sadness...

I want to see you, but I can't see you
And because of that, it's a bit sad that this is the end
After we finally met
Because the kindness I recieved from you
Is still in my heart, even now
I'll give it to someone else
That's the important thing "goodbye" brought me

The flowers bloom, a rainbow appears, the trivial, everyday changes
If I go on noticing them, I'm sure my smile will return

Though I can't hear it at all, a voice,
yelling from you, so far, far away, resounds...

I want to see you, but I can't see you
I want to remember the lonliness I embraced
And how to look straight ahead
Because the courage you taught me
Is still in my heart, even now
I can live more straightforwardly
That's the important thing "goodbye" brought me

The wonderful thing that only "goodbye" knew...
