I called to you, beneath a deep red sky…
Who will be the first
To reach our goal?
We competed vigorously one summer day.
But the place we were heading
Began leading to a different tomorrow
And I hid the sadness deep in my heart.
Walking home alone,
I fought back the tears.
“Don’t worry!”
The sound of your voice saying the words
Still echoes within me, the same as before.
That’s why I’ve realized now:
“I’m not alone,”
Even if we’re far apart.
If I reach out my hand, then no matter when,
You’ll be right there. You’ll be right here.
The seasons revolve again and again.
As we become adults,
The memory of that summer will eventually fade.
Your shoulders are quivering…
You’re off crying somewhere.
I wonder why… I suddenly get that feeling.
When I looked above, the deep red sky
Expanded silently.
“Don’t worry!”
This time I’ll be the one to say it!
Even if you feel almost broken,
And are at a standstill,
“You’re not alone”—
Even if time passes you by.
Just don’t forget: we’ll always be
Right here, side by side.
Though the days may pass, don’t ever let it fade:
We dreamed of an irreplaceable tomorrow
Deep within our hearts.
It lit up the deep red sky!
Let us run on
Into the future.
Every one of those seasons
Sparkles inside our hearts!
“Don’t worry!”
Our voices from that day
Continue to resonate, unchanging,
As we pursue our own tomorrows.
“We’re not alone,”
Even if we’re far apart.
If we reach out our hands, then no matter when,
We’ll be right there. We’ll be right here.
