Текст и перевод песни Ai Kawashima - Dear my friend

Dear my friend

離れてもこうして変わらないで 私達いつでも一緒だよね
なんでもないこともっと話したい 素直な気持ち届けたいよ
大切な人へ
顔を見ればすぐわかってしまうよ ちょっとへこんでるでしょ？
たまにしか会えない
だからそれまでの溜まっていたものは全部吐き出せばいい
とことん聞くよ 彼氏や家族には話せないこともあるから
あの日からそんなに時はたったの？ 私達気づけば大人だよね
少しずつ変わってゆく世界に 初めての戸惑いや弱さ覚えてきたよね
夜中くれたメール すごくうれしかったんだ あなたの言葉
冷静沈着で頼りになるから 迷っている時はいつも甘えてばかり
あなたの前で強がる必要も隠す必要もないから
時々は2人で出かけようよ 思い出の場所いくつもできたね
気兼ねなくゆっくり語り合えば 疲れとか悩みもどこかに吹き飛んでゆくよ
いつかこの先2人おばあちゃんになっても 相も変わらずずっと
楽しくおもしろいこと探し笑い合おうね 時に涙しながら
全部宝物になるよ My friend
離れてもこうして変わらないで 私達いつでも一緒だよね
いつの日かお互い持っている夢 欠けることなく叶えようね
明日からまたそれぞれの日々が せわしなく始まってゆくけれど
頑張るよ私は私なりに 忘れないいつもそばにあなたがいること
支えてくれてありがとう
助けてくれてほんとありがとう

Dear my friend

Though apart, we remain unchanged; we're together always, aren't we, my friend?
I long to share the most trivial things, to convey my honest feelings.
To a treasured soul
I can tell just by looking at your face that you're feeling a little down.
We may meet only occasionally,
so pour out everything that's been bottled up until then.
I'll listen patiently, for there are things you can't share with your boyfriend or family.
Has it been so long since that day? We've grown up without even realizing it.
As the world gradually changes around us, we've begun to experience hesitation and vulnerability for the first time.
Your late-night email made me so happy; your words,
always calm and composed, are a source of strength; when I'm lost, I always turn to you for guidance.
I don't need to pretend to be strong or hide anything in front of you.
Sometimes, let's go out together; we've made so many memories in our favorite places.
If we talk leisurely without holding back, our fatigue and worries will vanish into thin air.
Even when we're both grandmothers in the future, let's continue to laugh together as we always have,
finding joy and laughter in the midst of tears.
It will all become a treasure, my friend.
Though apart, we remain unchanged; we're together always, aren't we, my friend?
One day, we'll achieve the dreams we each hold dear, without fail.
Tomorrow, our separate lives will begin again, filled with busyness,
but I'll do my best, knowing that you're always by my side.
Thank you for supporting me.
Thank you, truly, for helping me.
