English Translation


At the end of the long day
I was pacing back and forth on the street
Out of the sprouting emptiness
I started to hum that song without knowing
As if I’m desperately calling out to you


You used to make me listen to that song
Saying it’s the best song in the world
We listened to it together, this sad song


This song we listened to every day
It makes me cry every day
It makes me think of you
Because it sounds like our story
No matter how hard I try to cover my ears
It spins around me
I don’t wanna hear it, I throw a fit
But I hear it every day


Even after time, I didn’t forget this song
Each lyric, each melody is still so clear
I used to practice alone every day so I could sing it for you
We listened to it together, this heartbreaking song


This song we listened to every day
It makes me cry every day
It makes me think of you
Because it sounds like our story
No matter how hard I try to cover my ears
It spins around me
I don’t wanna hear it, I throw a fit
But I hear it every day


The lyrics used to sound like someone else’s story but it became ours
The only thing remaining are the ruined days
Playing this song in my small room
As I carefully call out to you again


This song we listened to every day
It makes me cry every day
It makes me think of you
Because it sounds like our memories
No matter how hard I try to cover my ears
It spins around me
I don’t wanna hear it, I throw a fit
But I hear it every day
