Omoide no uchi ni anata wa inai
While among memories, you are not there
微風となってほほに触れてく
Soyokaze to natte hoho ni furetekuru
Becoming like the gentle breeze, (you) gently stroke my cheeks
木漏れ日の午後の別れの後も

Even after the goodbyes have been said, in the afternoon with the sunlight filtering through the trees

In the song of the stream; in the colour of this sky
花のかおりにいつまでも生きて
hana no kaori ni itsumademo ikite
In the fragrance of flowers; (you) are living forever
