English translation
I suddenly had a momentary flashback
of the scenery I dreamed of in my far far off childhood.
The young girl who kissed my cheek while laughing
overlaps with you.
The floating time is marked
by the faint rays from the cloudy sky
I wonder if I can pack air tight
this wonderful troublesome feeling?
Even if I draw it,
as time goes on, something will fade.
Forever is always
a fleeting shapeless shadow,
with you, by me.
If I could draw better and better pictures
what I really want to draw is you.
for me, you are, in short, those little points
and everything in total.
The real answer is slumbering
within the foolishness and the lies
I wonder if we can make it through
this wonderful hasty life three legged?
No matter what I draw
you'll definitely be in the picture.
I know it when I take a deep breath with my eyes closed.
You're always in my notepad.
Even if I draw it,
as time goes on, something will fade.
Forever is always
a fleeting shapeless shadow,
with you, by me
and always in my notepad.
Sigh. Don't you just love this song?
