Wakare no kisetsu ni yureru
Hakanaki ichirin ka
Onaji nukumori no kaze wo
Daremo ga sagashite aruiteru
Deai wa sore ni nagareru
Oboro gumo no shita de
Kasanari au tokei no hari no you ni
Yukkuri to yukkuri to yukkuri to
Mawari hajimeru
Mijikai hari ga kimi nara
Nagai hari ga boku de
Onaji jikan wo kizami nagara
Nandomo sure chigai mata deai
Aruku hohaba wa chigatte mo
Egaku mirai ga onaji nara
Daijoubu mata onaji basho kara hajimerareru kara
Ganbatta kedo dame datta ne
Makechatta kedo kakko yokatta ne
Ironna tane wo moratta
Kotoba ga kokoro ni mizu wo yaru
Mijikai haru ni saku yume
Nagai fuyu wo koete
Kokoro no oku ni
Atsumeta tane wa
Donna hikari de sodatsu no darou
Hokodou no kage ni saku hana
Dare no tame ni aru no darou
Dare no tame demo nai yoto kagayaku
Kimi ni terasareteru
Omoi ga kotoba ni kawaru yo
Kotoba ga hikari wo yonderu
Hikari ga hora kage wo tsukuru
Kage de hito wa tsuyoku nareru
Tsuyosa ga yasashisa ni kawaru
Yasashisa ga deai wo yonderu
Deai ga michi wo tsukuru
Kono michi ni mata omoi wo kizamu
Mijikai hari ga tomareba
Nagai hari mo tomaru
Onaji itami wo wakeaeru koto
Itsushi ka yorokobi ni kawaru kara
Daremo ga hitori hitotsu isshun ichibyou ichidokiri
Makimodosenai toki wo
Tamerawazu ikiteyukeru
Sonna deai wo sagashiteru
Hitori hitotsu isshun ichibyou ichidokiri deaete yokatta

別れの 季節に揺れる 儚き 一輪花
同じ温もりの風を 誰もが 探して 歩いてる
出逢いは 空に流れる おぼろ雲の下で
重なり合う 時計の針のように ゆっくりと (ゆっくりと) ゆっくりと
回り始める
短い針が君なら 長い針が僕で
同じ時間を刻みながら 何度もすれ違いまた出会い
歩く歩幅は違っても 描く未来が同じなら
大丈夫また 同じ場所から 始められるから
「頑張ったけど だめだったね。」
「負けちゃったけどかっこ良かったね。」
色んな 種をもらった 言葉が 心に 水をやる
短い春に咲く夢 長い冬を越えて
心の奥に集めた種は どんな 光で 育つのだろう?
歩道の影に咲く花 誰の為にあるのだろう?
誰の為でも ないよと輝く 君に照らされてる
想いが言葉に変わるよ 言葉が光を呼んでる
光がほら影を作る 影で人は強くなれる
強さが優しさに変わる 優しさが出会いを呼んでる
出会いが 道を造る この道にまた 想いを 刻む
短い針が止まれば 長い針も止まる
同じ痛みを分け合える事 いつしか 喜びに変わるから
誰もが一人 一つ 一瞬 一秒 一度きり巻き戻せない時を
ためらわず 生きてゆける そんな出会いを 探している
一人 一つ 一瞬 一秒 一度きり
出逢えて 良かった

Footsteps of time - Kobukuro
(Added by Aomari. Rough translation, feel free to correct it)
In season of partings, there is a short-lived flower.
Everybody is searching for the same warmth of the wind and walking on.
Meetings are flowing under the hazy clouds in the sky.
They are overlapping like hands on a clock.
Slowly, slowly, slowly
Starting to turn.
If you are the hour hand, then I am the minute hand.
If we are showing the same time,
No matter how many times we pass each other, we'll meet.
Even if we walk different paths, if we paint the same future,
It will be okay, we will start over from the same place again.
"Even if I did my best, it's still no good..."
"Even if you lost, you did well, okay?"
Words give water to the various seeds i received in my heart.
After the long winter, a dream blooms in the short spring.
Among the seeds that collect in the heart,
which will get light to grow?
In the shadow of the sidewalk blooms a flower,
For who is it there for?
But whoever it's for, it will shine and it will shine on you.
Thoughts change to words, Words calls out the light,
Light makes shadows, people become stronger because of the shadows.
Strength changes to kindness, Kindness calls out the meeting
The meeting makes the path, and on this path, thoughts are engraved.
If the hour hand stops, then the minute hand will stop.
Things that are shared through the same pain
Before you know it, they'll turn into joy.
Everyone has one person, one moment, one second, one chance where they can't turn
back time
Without living life hesitatingly, searching for those kinds of meetings
Alone, once, one moment, one second, one chance.
I'm glad we finally met.
