Before I could even blink, the seasons rush by
Counting time with a painful sandglass
And before anyone could even register it,
This time falls away

Once it's all over, what will be left?
Just where has this youth gone?
On nights like this, all I want is to
Hear your voice

Everything feels like an illusion that's about to disappear
And even if it's truly like that,
Ah, this world is truly,
Precious, and so kind,
It's so bright I could cry

In the spring, I cried, and in the summer, I decided
What I would do in the future--
In the autumn, I hid away, and in the winter I knew
That everything up to now--

This blue sand, that can do nothing but fall down
Is so bright, so blinding
Always so radiant
And it's so painful--

The sky is blue, and the clouds are white
Counting time with a kind sandglass
Even though I know I can't grasp it
I want to stretch out my hand anyway

So that I can pray for all of this to never end,
I want to keep it precious in my heart
While singing, while smiling
I grasp it close

Yeah, that's right, with you, with everyone
Let's raise our hands to the sky
Ah, the future that lies within our grasp
Is overflowing with
Absolute briliance!

In the spring, we meet, and in the summer, I think:
Please, let's just stay like this--
In the autumn, I touch it, and in the winter, I wish:
To just stay like this--

This youth can do nothing but fall away
Yet I still stretch out to chase it
This irreplacable period of time is
Just so painful...

Through these spring dreams, the summer skies
Through these dazzling days--
Through that love in fall, the winter streets
I'll walk through all of them

This youth, that can do nothing but fall away
Is so bright, so blinding
Always so radiant
And it's so painful--
