Original lyric (Japanese lyric)

English translation

夢ゆめの途中とちゅうで目めを覚さまし
Yume no tochū de me o samashi

瞼まぶた閉とじても戻もどれない
Mabuta tojite mo modorenai

さっきまね鮮明せんめいだった世界せかい もう幻まぼろし
Sakki mane senmeidatta sekai mō maboroshi

汗あせばんだ私わたしをそっと抱いだき寄よせて
Asebanda watashi o sotto daki yosete

たくさんの初はじめてを深ふかく刻きざんだ
Takusan no hajimete o fukaku kizanda

揺ゆれる 若葉わかばに手てを伸のばし
Yureru wakaba ni te o nobashi

あなたひ思おもい馳はせる時とき
Anata hi omoi haseru toki

いつになったら悲かなしくなくなる
Itsu ni nattara kanashikunaku naru

教おしえてほしい
Oshiete hoshī

今日きょう私わたしは一いち人にんじゃないし
Kyō watashi wa hitori janaishi

それなりに幸しあわせで
Sorenari ni shiawasede

これでいいんだと言言い聞きかせてるけど
Kore de ī nda to iikikase terukedo

勝かてぬ戦せんに息いき切きらし
Katenu sen ni iki kirashi

あなたに身みを焦こがした
Anata ni mi o kogashita hibi

忘わすれちゃったら私わたしじゃなくなる
Wasure chattara watashi janaku naru

教おしえて 正ただしいサヨナラの仕方しかたを
Oshiete tadashī sayonara no shikata o

誰だれかに手てを伸のばし
Dareka ni te o nobashi

あなたに思おもい馳はせる時とき
Anata ni omoi haseru toki

今いまあなたに聞聞きたいことがいっぱい
Ima anata ni kikitai koto ga ippai

溢あふれて 溢あふれて
Afurete afurete

が芽め吹ぶく 月日つきひ巡めぐる
Kigi ga mebuku tsukihi meguru

変かわらない気き持もちを伝つたえたい
Kawaranai kimochi o tsutaetai

自由じゆうになる自由じゆうがある
Jiyū ni naru jiyū ga aru

立たち尽つくす 見み送おりびとの影かげ
Tachitsukusu miokuri bito no kage

思おもいたちがふいに私わたしを
Omoide-tachi ga fui ni watashi o

乱暴らんぼうに掴つかんで離はなさない
Ranbō ni tsukande hanasanai

愛あいしてます 尚なおも深ふかく
Aishitemasu naomo fukaku

降ふり止やまぬ 真夏まなつの通とおり
Ori yamanu manatsu no tōriame

夢ゆめの途中とちゅうで目めを覚さまし
Yume no tochū de me o samashi

瞼まぶた閉とじても戻もどれない
Mabuta tojite mo modorenai

さっきまであなたがいた未来みらい
Sakki made anata ga ita mirai

たずねて 明日あしたへ
Tazunete ashita e

ずっと止やまない止やまない雨あめに
Zutto yamanai yamanaiame ni

ずっと癒いえない癒いえない渇かわき
Zutto ienai ienai kawaki

Lyrics, Composition, & Arrangement: Hikaru Utada

In the midst of a dream, I awoke

And couldn’t go back though I closed my eyes

The world that was so clear until a moment ago is now an illusion

Softly drawing sweaty me close

We deeply etched so many firsts in my mind

I wonder when I won’t be sad

When I stretch my hands to the swaying new leaves

And my thoughts rush to you…

Please tell me

Today I’m not alone

That in itself makes me happy

But though I’m persuading myself I’m fine with that…

Out of breath in a battle I can’t win

If I forget the days when I burned with love

For you, I won’t be me

Tell me the correct way to say farewell

When I stretch my hands out to someone

And my thoughts rush to you

Today the things I want to ask you are so numerous

And they overflow, overflow

The trees bud, time goes round

I want to tell you my unchanging feelings

There’s a freedom to be free

The shadows of those at send off stand stock still

Memories suddenly violently

Grasp me and won’t let go

I love you and so deeply

A midsummer shower won’t stop falling

In the midst of a dream, I awoke

And couldn’t go back though I closed my eyes

You were in my future until a while ago

Visiting upon tomorrow

In the rain that’ll never stop, never stop

My thirst won’t ever be quenched, won’t ever be quenched
