Yasashiku Kimi Wa Hohoende Ita

Kanji

遠い記憶　かすかに香る
優しくキミは　微笑んでいた
見えない枷に　気付かないまま
キミに甘えて　苦しめてたね

誰よりも愛して　誰よりも見つめた

ずっと　ずっと離れていても
変わらずキミを思ってるから
キミの温もり　優しい両手
忘れないから

キミがいない　事に慣れて
たまに会えると　言葉が出なくて
黙っていても　通じ合うって
キミに頼って　ばかりいたね

もう戻らない　振り返らないから
背中を押して　踏み出す勇気を下さい

もっと　もっと強くなるから
泣かないように　見守っていて
キミの眼差し　優しい声
思い出に変えるから

キミがくれた　大切なもの
ずっと心に　しまっておくから
季節は巡る　キミがいなくても
セピア色に染まってゆくよ

誰よりも信じて　誰よりも側に居た

きっと　きっと越えられるから
遠回りかもしれないけれど
未来はきっと　明るいから
信じて進むから

もっと　もっと強くなるから
泣かないように見守っていて
キミの眼差し　優しい声
思い出に変えるから

遠い記憶　かすかに香る
優しくキミは微笑んでいた

Oboite ikaru kara

Tooi kioku kasuka ni kaoru
Yasashiku kimi wa hohoende ita

English Translation

Far away memory, faint fragrance
The gentle you were smiling
Without noticing the invisible shackles
I was depending on your kindness, it must've been painful

I love you more than anyone, I gazed at you more than anyone

Even if I'll be away from you forever
I will be thinking about the never changing you
Your warmth, and your gentle hands
I won't forget them

I have gotten used to my surroundings without you
When I see you occasionally, words can't come out
Even in silence, I understood you
I was relying on you all the time

We can't go back anymore, nothing will return
Pat me on the back, give me the strength to make my next step

I will become ever stronger
Please look after me, so that I won't cry
Your look, and your gentle voice
I'll turn them into memories

The precious thing you've given me
I'll lock it away in my heart
The seasons go around, even when you are not here
Everything is being dyed in sepia

I believe in you more than anymore, I stayed beside you more than anymore

I will surpass everything
Though I might just return to where I am now
I'm sure the future will be bright
Believe in it and move on

I will become ever stronger
Please look after me, so that I won't cry
Your look, and your gentle voice
I'll turn them into memories

Far away memory, faint fragrance
The gentle you were smiling
