*The Sky Remains The Same as Ever*

English Translation:

The voices of the fading stars in the night sky
The transient light of the grey moon
The sea where we used to swim together
Why has it suddenly changed its color?
I don’t want to enter eternal sleep like this…
I still want to feel you…

At times when you are lonely
I can’t even be by your side, however
You who knows the pain of losing something
Will find another love
That, I pray

Anytime if you are confused at night
And suddenly return to that day
Please think of me smiling
In the sun which shone too brightly
The strength of the combined words of “I love you”
Was enough to change even tears to love
The weakness of the love where we pretended to be strong
In these hands, I will hold it and reaffirm our fragile bond

But for you, who are still living on right now
I will always, always watch over you
My love… In this heart…

During times you want to cry, and during the painful times
It’s alright if you remember me
The place where we snuggled together, on that faraway summer day
The warmth, the joy of being alive
Within our hearts…
