Hello, my friend

English translation

Hello, my friend　君に恋した夏があったね

Hello, my friend - I remember there's a summer when I loved you

みじかくて　気まぐれな夏だった

It was so short, even capricious

Destiny　君はとっくに知っていたよね

Destiny, that's what you already knew before I did

戻れない安らぎもあることを　Ah.....

There's also calmness that never comes back, ah....

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

Hello, my friend　今年もたたみだしたストアー

Hello, my friend - the closed store this year

台風がゆく頃は涼しくなる

It's getting cooler when a typhoon comes

Yesterday　君に恋した夏の痛みを

Yesterday, every time the season runs

抱きしめるこの季節走るたび　Ah.....

That's when I hug the pain from that summer - I've loved 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
