1.From the swaying evening train window, familiar scenery unfolds,
2.The bustling people and city noise become enveloped in silence.3.
4.I told myself that someday, someday, it would be rewarded,
5.But you knew, and your smiling face reminded me.6.
7.Love, the place to be loved that I had forgotten,
8.So please, keep smiling, with all my wishes.9.
10.My mother’s unwavering gaze and my father’s increasingly silent back,
11.Remind me of dreams I can’t abandon and my childhood memories.12.
13.I believed that someday, someday, I would find peace,
14.But I realized I was still stuck, because of your words.15.
16.I said terrible things, I spat out words that hurt,
17.I betrayed you countless times, and saw your tears over and over.
18.Is it enough? Not yet. Is it enough? It should be enough.
19.One more time, I want to fulfill it, one more time.20.
21.Love, I understood, I was loved so much,
22.So please keep smiling, even though I’ve only ever taken.23.
24.Love, the place where I was loved and cherished that I can never forget,
25.So please keep smiling, with all my wishes.
