Original/Romaji Lyrics

Ima mo oboete iru no
Anata tabidatsu hi ni mita yume wo
Namida tsutau anata no hoho
Te wo nobasu to yami no naka kieta
Futo me wo samasu
Madoromi sashikomu genjitsu
Akaku somaru hito no naka anata mitsuketa
Ima wa wakatte'ru kara
Futari kawashita yakusoku no imi wo
Hikaru hakanai nagareboshi
Tooi sora de miagete hohoemu
Hitomi ga yureru tabi ni omoidasu no
Anata no me mitsumete mo haruka kanata mite
Ima wa wakatte'ru kara
Futari kawashita yakusoku no imi wo
Hikaru hakanai nagareboshi
Tooi sora de miagete hohoemu
Ima wa wakatte'ru kara
Ano hi kawashita yakusoku no imi wo
Hikaru hakanai nagareboshi
Tooi sora de miagete hohoemu

English Translation

Even now I remember
The dream I had on the day you left
When I reached for your tear-streaked cheek
It vanished into the darkness
I suddenly awaken
As reality inserts on my reverie
I found you within a crimson-stained man
Because I now understand
The meaning of the promise we exchanged
I look up at the fleeting shooting star
Shining in the distant sky and smile
Whenever my eyes waver, I remember that
Though I gazed into your eyes, I was looking from afar
Because I now understand
The meaning of the promise we exchanged
I look up at the fleeting shooting star
Shining in the distant sky and smile
Because I now understand
The meaning of the promise we exchanged that day
I look up at the fleeting shooting star
Shining in the distant sky and smile
