手当たり次第に灯り点けなくても
いつか一人ぼっちの夜は明けていくよ
転んだ日は はるか遠くに感じていた景色も
起き上がってよく見ると なんか辿り着けそうじゃん
君の大好きだった歌 街に流れる
それは偶然が僕にくれた さりげない贈り物
Ah 旅立ちの唄 さぁどこへ行こう？
またどこかで出会えるね Ah
とりあえず「さようなら」
自分が誰か分からなくなるとき 君に語りかけるよ
でも もし聞こえていたって 返事はいらないから
大切なものを失くしてまた手に入れて
そんな繰り返しのようで その度 新しくて
「もうこれ以上 涙流したり
笑いあったり できない」
と言ってたって やっぱり 人恋しくて
今が大好きだって躊躇などしないで言える
そんな風に日々を 刻んでゆこう
どんな場所にいても
Ah はじまりを祝い 歌う最後の唄
僕は今手を振るよ Ah 悲しみにさようなら
疲れ果てて足が止まるとき 少しだけ振り返ってよ
手の届かない場所で
背中を押してるから
Ah 旅立ちの唄 さぁどこへ行こう？
またどこかで出会えるね Ah
とりあえず「さようなら」
自分が誰か忘れそうなとき
ぼんやり想い出してよ ほら僕の体中
笑顔の君がいるから

English Translation
Don’t be afraid.
Even if you don’t go around turning on the lights
someday your lonely nights will see the dawn.
The day you fall you’ll get up and see that the scenery
that felt so very far away seems almost within reach.
the song you loved is playing throughout the town
it’s an incidental gift given to me by chance.
Ah, a song for setting off
So, where to? We’ll meet again. Ah
but for now, it’s “goodbye”
When I lose sight of who I am, I’ll turn to you
But even if you do somehow hear me, don’t worry about responding
I lost something important to me, and then got it back
and like that process, each time feels new again
though I said, “we can’t keep crying and laughing about it like this”
I wanted someone to share with.
Now without hesitation, I can say that I love you.
And that’s how I’ll spend my days.
No matter where I am.
Ah the last song sung in celebration of a fresh start
Now I wave goodbye.
Ah, farewell to sorrow!
when you get too tired to go on, give a quick look back
because from somewhere out of reach I’ll be there urging you onward.
Ah, A song for setting off
So, where to? We’ll meet again. Ah
but for now, it’s “goodbye”
When you start to forget who you are, idly scan your memories
for throughout my whole body, you’re there with a smile
urging me onward
but don’t worry about responding.
