Seifukuno muneno botan'o kakyusei tachini nedarare
My buttons of uniform are wanted by the underclassmen for memories.

Atamao kakinagara nigeru none hontowa ureshii kuse shite mm
And I ran away. Actually I was happy in my mind.

Hitokenai gogono kyoshitsude tsukueni inisharu horu anata
Nobody are in the afternoon classroom besides you. And you are carving your name on the desk.

Yamete omoideo kizamunowa kokorodakeni shiteto tsubuyaita
Stop. You can carve your memories only in your mind.

Hanaretemo denwa suru yoto koyubi sashidashite iu kedo
I'll call you after we apart. If we promised that...

Mamore soninai yakusokuwa shinai hogaii gomenne
I don't know whether I can keep it. It is better not to promise.

Serano usui sukafude tomattaa jikan'o musubitai
I wish I could stop the time with the scarf of uniform.

Dakedo Tokyode kawatteku anatano miraiwa shibare nai
But I can't force you not to change. You will change in Tokyo in the future.

Ah sotsugyo shikide nakanaito tsumetai hitoto iware so
If I don't cry at the graduation ceremony, I would be thought as a cold person.

Demo motto kanashii shunkanni namidawa totte okitaino
But I would keep my tears until more sad times.

Sekijunga kawari anatano tonarino konisae yaitawa
Seating arrangement changed. I was jealous of your neighbor's daughter.

Itazurani kamio hipparare okotteru urade hashaida woo
Her hair was pulled in mischief and she got angry. And I felt glad secretly.

Ekimadeno toi michinorio hajimete damatte aruitane
We walked in silence for the first time on the long way to the station.

Hantaino homuni tatsu futari tokino denshaga ima hiki saita
We stood on the opposite platform. Train separated us.

***

Ah sotsugyo shitemo tomodachine sorewa usodewa nai keredo
We continue to be friends after graduation. It's not a lie.

Demo sugiru kisetsuni nagasarete aenai kotomo shitte iru
But it will be difficult to see you with the passage of time. And I know it.
