ame no hi no yoru VIDEO wo
hiza wo daite mite-ta

    On a rainy evening,
    I hug my knees as I watch the video.

midori no oka to mizu-umi
natsukashii keshiki ni aeta

    The lake and the green hills,
    the nostalgic scenery that I see again.

kyonen wa anata to
eigakan de miteta hazu

    I should have watched it at the movie theatre
    with you last year.

* Stand By Me  
soba ni ite ne
ano koro no you ni kata o daite ne

    Stand by me, 
    Stay close to me
    Like that time you embraced my shoulders

Stand By Me  
toki wa sugite shimau kedo  iya yo
otona ni naranaide

    Stand by me, 
    The time comes to end it, but no!
    I don't want to grow up yet.


dare ni hantai sarete mo
futari de iyou ne to

    Who resisted our relationship?
    We made a dignified couple

iede no mane mo shita kedo
eki de hiki-sakareta ano hi

    You pretended you were leaving home, but
    we broke up at the station that day.

toori de atte mo
me o sorashite aruku dake

    When we meet in the street
    your eyes just turn aside as you walk by.

Stand By Me  
kodomojimita koi da yo to
minna warau keredo

    Stand by me, 
    This childish love for you,
    Everyone laughs, however...

Stand By Me  
sou yo nanika taisetsu na
mono o ushinatta mitai de

    Stand by me, 
    You are something really important.
    Can't you see what we lost?


eiga no RASUTO de
hikaru hoho o te de nuguu

    At the end of the movie
    I wipe my glittering cheeks with my hand.
