Текст и перевод песни Ai Kawashima - 旅立ちの日に・・・

旅立ちの日に・・・

桜舞う四月の教室で
波打つ胸をはずませながら
出会った永遠の仲間達
あどけない手交わしたね
あの日かけまわった校庭
笑顔によく映えた光る汗
時に素直になるの嫌って
ぶつかり合ってケンカもしたね
放課後行った常連の店
いつもの駄菓子屋
忘れてないよ
指切りをして
交わした約束
みんなきらめく陽だまりの粒
いつのまにか 時は流れ
もう今日は卒業の日
人はいつか旅立つ者 だけど
いつの日にか またどこかで
会える気がするからね
輝く日々を忘れないで
もう開けない教室のドア
向かい合えない机もいすも
週末にはよく遊んだね
時に夢中な恋も知って
絶えぬおしゃべり
怒られた朝
泣いたあの日も
覚えているよ
あなたがくれた
冷めぬこの熱は
私の胸で生きづいている
今始まる
希望の道
今日までありがとうね
思い出の校舎と
別れを告げ
今新たな
扉開き
はるかな年月隔て
つぼみから花咲かせよう
耳元で聞こえる別れの歌を
あふれ出す涙こらえて
旅立ちを決めた
仲間たちには
はかない調べが降り積もる
いつのまにか
時は流れ
もう今日は卒業の日
人はいつか旅立つもの
だけど
いつの日にか
またどこかで
会える気がするからね
輝く日々を忘れないで
今始まる
希望の道
今日までありがとうね
思い出の校舎と別れを告げ
今新たな
扉開き
はるかな年月経て
つぼみから花咲かせよう
つぼみから花咲かせようう

On the Day of Departure...

In the April classroom where cherry blossoms danced
With our hearts pounding with excitement
We met our eternal companions
Our hands met in an innocent exchange
The schoolyard we ran around that day
The glistening sweat that adorned our smiles
Sometimes we were reluctant to be honest
We clashed and quarrelled
The store we frequented after school
Our regular candy store
I haven't forgotten
By making a pinky promise
We made a covenant
All of us were sparkling grains of sunlight
Before we knew it, time passed by
And today is finally graduation day
We are all destined to leave someday, but
Some day, somewhere
I feel like we will meet again
Don't forget our shining days
The classroom door that will never open again
The desks and chairs that we can no longer face
We had such fun playing on the weekends
Sometimes we even experienced passionate love
Our endless chatter
The mornings we were scolded
That day we cried
I remember
What you gave me
This undying passion
Lives on in my heart
Now begins
The path of hope
Thank you for everything up to now
With the school building of memories
Bidding farewell
Now a new
Door opens
Distanced by the vast years
Let us blossom from buds into flowers
The farewell song that I hear in my ears
Holding back the overflowing tears
I have decided to leave
To my friends
An ephemeral melody falls upon them
Before we knew it
Time passed by
And today is finally graduation day
We are all destined to leave someday
But
Some day
Somewhere
I feel like we will meet again
Don't forget our shining days
Now begins
The path of hope
Thank you for everything up to now
With the school building of memories, bidding farewell
Now a new
Door opens
Through the vast years
Let us blossom from buds into flowers
Let us blossom from buds into flowers
