Tainaka Sachi

Clutching my knees, I held back tears
It can't be helped, it seemed like I was going to lose out to anxiety that night
Always, before I knew it, you
And not anyone else, have been by my side

Continuing to make the wish "I want to be strong", I stumble down again
I'm hurt, but I can believe in you, so I can stand up

I want to say "thank you" to my beloved
As many times as my voice will allow me to
Will this reach out
To my beloved, who is irreplaceable to me?
The unchanging warmth of a person, in this changing world
I certainly have felt it

When yet another year passes
I feel your feelings even more than I did before

I was thinking that when you grow up, it must be lonely
But right now I understand that I can't live my life alone, so it's fine

"Thank you" to my beloved, for having given me courage
I want to give those words to him as a present, from my heart
And this time, I wonder if
I can do something in return for my beloved
The unchanging connection to a person, in this changing world
I want to treasure it

I just want to say "thank you" to my beloved
As many times as my voice will allow me to
Will this reach out
To my beloved, who is irreplaceable to me?

"Thank you" to my beloved, for having given me courage
I want to give those words to him as a present, from my heart
And this time, I wonder if
I can do something in return for my beloved
The unchanging warmth of a person, in this changing world
I certainly have felt it, my beloved
