Ikimonogakari - 茜色の約束 (Akane Iro No Yakusoku)

Akane iro shita hidamari no naka

Mukuchi na kaze ga futari wo tsutsumu
Hodo awasete aruku sakamichi
Itsumo atashi wa oikakeru dake

Tsumazuitari koronde naite mitari
Kesshite umaku ikireru atashi ja nai kedo
Anata ga hora atashi no te wo hiku kara
Kowagaru kokoro mo tsuyoku ne nareru yo

Dakara

Naite waratte tsunaida kono te wa
Kasaneta kotoba ni makenai yakusoku
Anata ni deaeta akane no sora ni
Hora ano hi to onaji koto wo negau yo

Toki wa itsu demo konoha chiru you ni
Shiranu ma ni te wo surinukete iku

Hitotsu hitotsu kisetsu wa sugite iku kedo
Ato ikutsu no omoi wo tsutaerareru darou
Arifurete ita hibi sae modose wa shinai
Kono mainichi wo isshun wo itoshiku omou no

Dakara

Namida mo egao mo tsunaida kono te mo
Ikue no shashin ni makenai omoide
Anata ni deaeta akane no sora ni
Hora ano hi to onaji koto wo chikau yo

Yagate "wakare" ga otozuretemo
Futari subete wo uketomete iku
"Deatta basho" mo "ima iru basho" mo
Eien ni kokoro to tsunagatte iru
Hora furikaereba ashiato ga tsuzuku yo

Dakara

Naite waratte tsunaida kono te wa
Saigo no shunkan made hanashi wa shinaide
Kono michi no saki wo mata futari de
Aruite ikou... Aruite ikou...

Dakara

Naite waratte tsunaida kono te wa
Subete no kotoba ni makenai yakusoku
Anata to deaeta akane no sora ni
Hora ano hi to onaji koto wo negau yo

TRANSLATION

Ikimonogakari - Red Promise

The silent wind surrounds us
In the red sunlight
We walk up the hill in step
But I'm always just chasing after you

I stumble and fall and cry
I just make it through life very well
But you grab my hand
And even my frightened heart can get stronger

So

I cry and laugh and my hand in yours
Is a promise more than the words we've said
Under this red sky where we met
I wish for the same thing I did that day

Time always slips through my hands
Before I notice, like falling leaves

The seasons pass one by one
But how many more thoughts will I be able to tell you?
We can't turn back even those ordinary days
So I'll treasure each moment of every day

So

These tears and smiles and my hand in yours
Are memories that mean more than a stack of photos
Under this red sky where we met
I promise the same thing I did that day

Even if "the end" eventually comes
We'll accept everything
"The place we met" and "the place we are now"
Will be connected forever in our hearts
Because if we turn around we can see our footprints

So

I cry and laugh, and don't let go
Of my hand until the last moment
Let's walk down this road ahead
Together again... Together again...

So

I cry and laugh and my hand in yours
Is a promise more than any words
Under this red sky where we met
I wish for the same thing I did that day
