english:

love ~refrain~
lyrics: ayumi hamasaki
composer: tsunku
arranger: naoto suzuki

surely everyone is carrying something,

painting sadness and beauty.
but as they repeat their routines,
they face tomorrow with a purity that almost hurts.

i've lived up to now. um- although the length of time is a little different.

just having met you, just having loved you,

even if we can't share our thoughts,
just for that... thank you.

everyone has sacrificed something

and gotten something new in return.
even so, if there is anything
i can always be proud of, it's you.

i've ridden past. um- although there have been a number of night scenes.

just having met you, just having loved you,

having shared our thoughts... from now until forever...

i should think of you as proof that i live

without taking my eyes off of truth and reality.

just having met you, just having loved you,

having shared my thoughts with you,
from now until forever... thank you.
