English Translation: Tegami

Dear you,
Who's reading this letter
Where are you and what are you doing now?

For me who's 15 years old

There are seeds of worries I can't tell anyone

If it's a letter addressed to my future self,

Surely I can confide truly to myself

Now, it seems that I'm about to be defeated and cry

For someone who's seemingly about to disappear
Whose words should I believe in?
This one-and-only heart has been broken so many times
In the midst of this pain, I live the present

Dear you,
Thank you
I have something to tell the 15-year-old you

If you continue asking what and where you should be going

You'll be able to see the answer

The rough seas of youth may be tough

But row your boat of dreams on
Towards the shores of tomorrow

Now, please don't be defeated and please don't shed a tear

During these times when you're seemingly about to disappear
Just believe in your own voice
For me as an adult, there are sleepless nights when I'm hurt
But I'm living the bittersweet present

There's meaning to everything in life

So build your dreams without fear
Keep on believing

Seems like I'm about to be defeated and cry

For someone who's seemingly about to disappear
Whose words should I believe in?

Please don't be defeated and please don't shed a tear

During these times when you're seemingly about to disappear
Just believe in your own voice
No matter era we're in
There's no running away from sorrow
So show your smile, and go on living the present
Go on living the present

Dear you,
Who's reading this letter
I wish you happiness

Romaji Lyrics

Haikei kono tegami yondeiru anata wa

Doko de nani wo shiteiru no darou

Juugo no boku ni wa dare ni mo hanasenai

Nayami no kanae ga aru no desu

Mirai no jibun ni atete kaku tegami nara

Kitto sunao ni uchiake rareru darou

Ima makesou de nakisou de

Kieteshimaisou na boku wa
Dare no kotoba wo
Shinji arukeba ii no?
Hitotsu shika nai kono mune ga nando mo barabara ni warete
Kurushii naka de ima wo ikiteiru
Ima wo ikiteiru

Haikei arigatou juugo no anata ni

Tsutaetai koto ga aru no desu
Jibun to wa nani de doko e mukau beki ka
Toitsu dzukereeba mietekuru

Areta seishun no umi wa kibishii keredo

Asu no kishibe e to yume no fune yo susume

Ima makenai de nakanai de

Kieteshimaisou na toki wa
Jibun no koe wo shinjiaru keba ii no?
Otona no boku mo kizutsuite
Nemurenai yoru wa aru kedo
Nigakute amai ima ikiteiru

Jinsei no subete ni imi ga aru kara

Osorezu ni anata no yume wo sodatete
La la la, la la la
Keep on believing
La la la, la la la,
Keep on believing, keep on believing, keep on believing

Makesou de nakisou de
Kieteshimaisou boku wa
Dare no kotoba wo shinji arukeba ii no?
Aa Makenaii de nakanai de
Kieteshimaisou na toki wa
Jibun no koe wo shinjiarukeba ii no
Itsu no jidai mo kanashimi mo
Sakete wa torenai keredo
Egao wo misete ima wo ikite yukou
Ima wo ikite yukou

Haikei kono tegami yondeiru anata ga

Shiawase na koto wo negaimasu

Such a beautiful song.... It brought tears the first time that I heard it.
