Arigatou by Sakura Kinomoto
kumo wa nagarete'ru kaze wa utaidasu
itsumo hashitte'ta kono michi no soba de
ima mo shiroi hana ga saite waratte iru
The clouds are floating by... The wind is singing
Even now, along the streets I always used to run along,
white flowers are blooming and smiling.
demo tomaranai mune ga tsumaru hodo
ima ga daisuki de dakedo sugite-yuku
sore wa mukashi naita yume no kakera no you
But it's unstoppable. It chokes me up inside
I love the present, but it will always pass...
It's just like a fragment of the dream I cried over long ago
fuwafuwa to ukabu yasuragi mo
namida koboreru fuan mo
daiji na mirai ni tsunagatte-iru
hazu dakara
The serenity that floats by like a fluffy white cloud
And the worries that make my tears spill over
are both connected to the precious future,
so...
ashita ni natte mo
itsuka otona ni natte mo
kitto omoidashite ne
anata ga koko ni ita koto
wasurenai de ite
hiroi sekai no hate de mo
zutto kienai ima wo
minna arigatou
Even when tomorrow comes
Even when someday I become an adult
I'm sure I'll always remember.
that you were here with me.
I'll never forget,
even when I'm in the very ends of this vast world.
For this moment that will never disappear,
I thank you, everyone.
tsuki wa terashite'ru kaze wa nemutte'ru
itsumo waratte'ta kono machi no sora de
ima mo nagareboshi ga negai kanaete iru
The moon is shining down. The wind is sleeping.
In the sky above that always smiles down on this town,
even now shooting stars are granting wishes.
demo wakaranai toki ga sugiru hodo
hanaretaku nakute dakedo tooku naru
sore wa kinou yonda hon no shiori no you
But I don't understand... I don't want us to ever part
for as long as time passes, but we end up being far apart
It's just like the bookmark in the book I read yesterday.
kirakira to hikaru akogare mo
donna kanashii kimochi mo
daiji na mirai ni tsunagatte-iru
hazu dakara
My longing to shine like the twinking stars
And my feelings, however sad they may be,
are both connected to the precious future,
so...
kisetsu ga sugite mo
dokoka shiranai machi de mo
kitto hirogatte-iku
minna ga koko ni ita koto
wasurenai de ite
chiisa na kono basho kara
sotto hajimatta koto
minna arigatou
Even when the seasons pass,
even if it's in some unfamiliar place somewhere
I'm sure the future is unfolding.
I'll never forget
that you were all here with me.
For what has quietly begun
from this little place,
I thank you, everyone.
yume wo noseta kuni wa
kioku kara tabidatsu
mata aeru yo
ima wa hohoende
The land where we rode our dreams
set forth from our memories
We'll meet again.
For now, please smile...
itsumade tatte mo
dokoka tooku e itte mo
kitto shirasete hoshii
watashi ga koko ni ita koto
wasurenai de ite
hiroi sekai no dokodemo
zutto kienai omoi
minna arigatou
Even if it's for a long long time...
Even if you go off far away somewhere
I definitely want you to keep in touch.
Don't forget
that I was here with you...
no matter where you are in this vast world.
For these feelings that will never disappear,
I thank you, everyone.
Thank you for all your tenderness
Thank you for all your happiness
Thank you for all your kindness
Thank you for all your everything...
Thank you for all your tenderness
Thank you for all your happiness
Thank you for all your kindness
Thank you for all your everything...
