Translation of the song Goodbye Friend artist Yumi Matsutōya

淋しくて　淋しくて　君のこと想うよ

So lonely, so lonely, that I think of you

離れても　胸の奥の　友達でいさせて

Let me be your dearest friend, though we're separated

君を失くした　光の中に

I lost you in between the light

指をかざした　眩しくて見えない堤防

I lifted my fingers in the bank so dazzling that I can't see it

なぜこんなにも　とり残されて

Why was I left behind?

どのざわめきも鏡の向うへと消えてく

Any commotion fades facing the mirror

悲しくて　悲しくて　帰り道探した

So sad, so sad, that I searched for the way back

もう二度と会えなくても　友達と呼ばせて

Let me call you a friend of mine, even if I won't see you again

君はとっくに知っていたよね

You already knew long ago

すぐ燃えつきるイカロスの翼に乗ったと

That you rode in the burning Icarus wings

淋しくて　淋しくて　君のこと想うよ

So lonely, so lonely, that I think of you

離れても　胸の奥の　友達でいさせて

Let me be your dearest friend, though we're separated

僕が生き急ぐときには　そっとたしなめておくれよ

Please scold me, just softly, when I try taking my chances

悲しくて　悲しくて　君の名を呼んでも

So sad, so sad, that I call your name

めぐり来ぬ　あの夏の日　君を失くしてから

That summer's day hasn't come yet since I lost you

淋しくて　淋しくて　君のこと想うよ

So lonely, so lonely, that I think of you

離れても　胸の奥に　ずっと生きてるから

Let me be your dearest friend, though we're separated

友達でいるから　友達でいさせて

Let me call you a friend of mine, cause I'm a friend of yours
