Arigatou wo Kaze ni

ありがとうを風に

Liner Notes

The morning I changed into short sleeves, folding away the long sleeves asleep in the closet, my breath suddenly went deeper. The season I spent with that person is still there. But it's not enough to make me cry. I pass in front of the convenience store. It's a place we once stopped at together, but now I don't go inside; I walk straight on to the crossing. The same town, yet the evening light looks a little different. I haven't forgotten. I gently carry the season when we were two. There was time between us that wasn't made of words. I don't want to turn that into a lie. Leaving it as a thank-you, I walk the short-sleeve town. Letting a thank-you ride the wind. When someday we pass each other by, I want to be someone who can smile. A love that's over, set on the wind as gratitude. The evening breeze brushes the back of my neck.

Lyrics (Japanese)

半袖に着替えた朝クローゼットに眠る長袖あなたといた季節のかたちがまだそこに畳んでしまうたびやわらかいためいき思い出しても泣いてしまうほどではないけれどふっと息が深くなるありがとうを風にのせて半袖の街を歩く忘れてはいないけれどからまってはいないよふたりだった季節をそっと連れていくよコンビニの前を通る昔ふたりで寄ったね中に入らずに信号までまっすぐわたしのあるくペースがすこしずつ戻ってきたおなじ街なのにすこしだけちがって見える夕方のひかりゆっくり染めていくありがとうを風にのせて半袖の街を歩く忘れてはいないけれどからまってはいないよふたりだった季節をそっと連れていくよ言葉じゃない時間がふたりのあいだにあったうそにはしたくないんだありがとうのままありがとうを風にのせて半袖の街を歩く忘れずにいるけれど立ちどまってはいないよふたりだった季節をやわらかくほどいていくいつかすれちがうときは笑えるわたしでいたい

Translation

The morning I changed into short sleeves Long sleeves sleep in the closet The shape of the season I spent with you is still there Each time I fold them away a soft little sigh Even when I remember it's not enough to make me cry, but suddenly my breath goes deeper Letting a thank-you ride the wind I walk the short-sleeve town I haven't forgotten but I'm not tangled up The season when we were two I gently take it along with me I pass in front of the convenience store We used to stop here together Without going inside straight on to the crossing The pace I walk at has slowly come back The same town yet it looks a little different The evening light slowly dyes it all Letting a thank-you ride the wind I walk the short-sleeve town I haven't forgotten but I'm not tangled up The season when we were two I gently take it along with me Time that wasn't made of words was there between us I don't want to turn it into a lie leaving it as thank-you Letting a thank-you ride the wind I walk the short-sleeve town I'm not forgetting but I'm not standing still The season when we were two I softly untie it When someday we pass each other by I want to be someone who can smile
