Shunkan Sentimental

Even today, the promises that shouldn't have crossed
make as if to steal away our future.
We've got what we wanted,
so why can't we manage to honestly smile?

Our overflowing tears aren't from weakness or regret
with the fragments born from our pain.

Whatever the moment, whatever our destiny,
we knew only one thing was certain.
More than thinking by ourselves and getting lost in the now,
we'll head towards tomorrow.

**A switch won't disable the landmine of our ever-waiting hearts.
**The common melody that's always watching me wants to break our unchanging future.
**Even as it laughs at people and calls them worthless,
**why does it heal up and shine, glittering?

**What's true? It's not a lie or a reason
with a heart that wants to feel it.

Surely, despite love and our illusions,
**we don't want to deceive each other if we get hurt -
because, as much as we strongly wish to understand each other,
there'll be times when we clash, too.

At the crossroads, I reached out my hand towards the blue sky that seemed like it could cry.
**After ten years, I wonder if we can still go into it together.

Whatever the moment, whatever our destiny,
we knew only one thing was certain.
Whatever the barrier, even if it's like this,
I don't want to give up.
I'll stay like this without letting go
because the warmth of your stubbornly clenched right hand is here.
