kanji & kana

    君のことを追いかけて
    こんな場所まで
    バスに乗り継いで来たんだ
    走り書きのアドレスは
    文字が滲んで
    読みにくい足跡だね

    2学期の途中で
    転校した
    初恋の君に会いたくて…
    打ちかけたメール
    やめにして
    自分が行く方が早いと
    思った

    思い出は遠いほど
    美しいもの
    この胸に鮮やかに
    ときめき 甦る
    君の家を見つけられるかな
    青春の行方

    あの日 僕は坂の上
    カーブを曲がる
    引っ越しのトラック
    見送った
    ただのクラスメイトだと
    思ってたのになぜだろう?
    涙が出た

    「制服が変わるの嫌だ」って
    俯いた君がつぶやいた
    教科書の 端に書き留めた
    未来を引きちぎって
    君がくれたよ

    思い出は遠いほど
    輝いてる
    僕たちは少しだけ
    大人になったけど
    君は今も変わってないかな?
    青春の出口

    思い出は遠いほど
    美しいもの
    この胸に鮮やかに
    ときめき 甦る
    君の家を見つけられるかな
    青春の行方

    もし君とこの場所で
    会えなくても
    そう僕は来たことを
    後悔しないだろう
    君を今も好きだとわかった
    思い出は遠く…

english translation

    Chasing you
    as far as this place
    I changed buses
    On the scribbled address
    the numbers are blurred
    Your footprints are hard to read

    In the middle of the 2nd school term
    you transferred schools
    I wanted to meet you, my first love
    I cancelled
    the message I started
    I thought
    it was too early

    As far as memories are
    beautiful things
    are vivid in this heart
    My romantic excitement got revived
    I wonder if I'll be able to find your house?
    Youth's direction

    On that day, on the top of the hill
    you rounded the curve
    I saw off
    the moving truck
    Even though I thought you were just another classmate
    Why did I cry?

    Saying, "I don't want to change school uniforms"
    you muttered while hanging your head
    You gave me
    a torn off future
    written down on a scrap of the textbook

    As far as memories are
    for us that shine
    just a little bit
    we became adults, but
    I wonder if you haven't changed?
    Youth's exit

    As far as memories are
    beautiful things
    are vivid in this heart
    My romantic excitement got revived
    I wonder if I'll be able to find your house?
    Youth's direction

    If I can't meet you
    in this place
    Yes, I won't regret
    that I came here
    I've learned that I love you even now
    Memories are far...
