                   Hey Even if someone falls in love 
                   Will it come to an end someday? 
                   Hey Will you forsake this love 
                   Clearer than the blue sky

                   The winds of the changing seasons 
                   I run down the road, all the way 
            Kimiwo Kimiwo aishiteru

                   Even if I lose tomorrow 
                   Even if I forsake you 
                   I want to keep shining with a smile as long as I can.

                   I don't need a promise (or anything of the sort) 
                   I reach for you with a look 
                   Even on this cold night.
