Lyrics and translation

Yume no tochuu de mezameta
Matsuge ga nurete ita
Oboete ta kotoba wa
Onegai ika nai de

Kesshite kawara nai no wa
Tsunotte iku kono omoi
Itsumo yuruga nai no wa
Uyamai shitau kimochi

Anata no you ni yasashiku te

Ima dake wa nee yurushite

I woke up in the middle of a dream My eyelashes were wet The words I remembered are "I beg you, please don't go" This growing feeling for you Never changes My respect and adoration Are always unshakable * The red sky at sunset today was tender like you I shouted that it wasn't a dream this time "Please don't go" The memories don't disappear But neither increase The words I'm allowed to say are "I beg you, please stay with me" Maybe, I can no longer hold on Just by pretending to be strong My love can't be removed Just by being held down ** The moonlight tonight Is the guide you gave to me Your back is too far and I can no more see it "Please stay with me" * (repeat) ** (repeat) "I beg you, please, just for now"
