Lyrics and translation Ai Kawashima - なごり雪

なごり雪

汽車を待つ君の横で僕は
時計を気にしてる
季節はずれの雪が降ってる
東京で見る雪はこれが最後ねと
さみしそうに君がつぶやく
なごり雪も降るときを知り
ふざけすぎた季節のあとで
今春が来て君は きれいになった
去年よりずっと きれいになった
動き始めた汽車の窓に
顔をつけて
君は何か言おうとしている
君のくちびるがさようならと動くことが
こわくて下をむいていた
時がゆけば幼ない君も
大人になると気づかないまま
今春が来て君はきれいになった
去年よりずっときれいになった
君が去ったホームにのこり
落ちてはとける雪を見ていた
今春が来て君はきれいになった
去年よりずっときれいになった

Lingering Snow

Beside you as you wait for the train,
I anxiously watch the clock.
Unseasonal snow is falling,
"This is the last snow I'll see in Tokyo," you murmur,
A hint of sadness in your voice.
Even lingering snow knows when to fall,
After a season of playful excess,
Now spring has arrived, and you have blossomed,
More beautiful than you were last year.
Pressing your face against
The window of the departing train,
You seem to be trying to say something.
Fearing your lips would form the word "goodbye,"
I looked down, unable to face you.
Time passes, and without realizing,
The young girl I knew becomes a woman.
Now spring has arrived, and you have blossomed,
More beautiful than you were last year.
Remaining on the platform where you departed,
I watch the snow fall and melt.
Now spring has arrived, and you have blossomed,
More beautiful than you were last year.
