古びたセピア色の写真に残された
ふれあう姉弟の肖像
その生活は未分の面影を残しながら
家族が密接に繋がっていた時代・・・

Furubita sepia iro no Shashin ni noko sareta
Fureau shitei no syōzō
Sono seikatsu wa mibun no omokage o nokoshinagara
Kazoku ga missetsu ni tsunagatte ita jidai…

親と姉弟、祖父母たちの空間が
大げさに間仕切られることなく
家族が家族としての
思い出を共有できた時代・・・

Oya to sitei, sofubo tachino kūkan ga
Ōgesani maji kirareru kotonaku
Kazoku ga kazoku toshiteno
Omoide o kyōyū dekita jidai…

姉の手には幼い弟の温もりが伝わり
弟の体には自らを支える姉の確かな愛が伝わる
弟を育てることで 　家事に馴染むことで
大人になる少女

Ane no te niha osana i otōto no nuku moriga tsuta wari
Otōto no karada niha mizukara o sasaeru ane no tashikana aiga tsutawaru
Otōto o sodateru kotode kaji ni najimu kotode
Otona ni naru syōjyo

姉は弟の成長を見守る
病気や怪我で苦しまないだろうか
ひとりの男として立派に育つだろうか
姉は母親の眼差しで弟の世話をする

Ane wa otōto no seichō o mimamoru
Byōki ya kega de kurushimanai darouka
Hitorino otoko toshite rippa ni sodatsu darouka
Ane wa hahaoya no manazashide otōto no sewa o suru

幼い日々は瞬く間に過ぎ去り
立ち止まることのない歳月が
ふたりを別々の旅に誘い
優しい思い出をかき消してしまう

Osanai hibi wa matatakuma ni sugi sari
Tachi domaru kotononai saigetsu ga
Futari o betsubetsu no tabi ni izanai
Yasashii omide o kaki keshite shihmau

ふたりは、お互いを必要としなくなる
ふたりは、お互いのことを思い出さなくなる
なぜなら ふたりは別々の人生を歩んでゆくから

Futari wa, otagai o hitsuyō to shinakunaru
Futari wa, otagaino koto o omoi dasanakunaru
Nazenara futariwa betsubetsu no jinsei o ayunde yukukara

ふたりは自分の夢を追い続ける
お互いが必要な時がくるまで
お互いが思い出で結ばれる時がくるまで

Futaruwa, jibun no yume o oitsuzukeru
Otagaiga hitsuyō na tokiga kurumade
Otagaiga omoide de musubareru tokiga kurumade

あの時の自分に　どこに行けば会えるのだろう？
あの頃の優しさに　どうすれば戻れるのだろう？

Ano toki no jibun ni dokoni yukeba aeruno darou？
Ano koro no yasashisa ni dōsureba modoreruno darou？

離ればなれになった長い旅が終る時
ふたりは懐かしい思いで再会する
ふたりがともに過ごした時間は
ふたりだけの永遠となるのだから

Hanare banare ni natta nagai tabi ga owaru toki
Futari wa natsuka sii omoi de saikaisuru
Futari ga tomoni sugoshita jikan wa
Futari dakeno eien to narunodakara

ENG:
An old sepia-toned photograph of a brother and sister touching each other.
A time when their lives were never separated and families were closely connected...
A time when parents, siblings, and grandparents could share memories as a family without being blocked off by separate spaces...

The older sister feels the warmth of her little brother with her hands,
and The younger brother's body feels her unwavering love.
A girl who becomes an adultby raising her younger brotherand getting used to housework The older sister watches over her younger brother's growth.

Will he suffer from illness or injury?
Will he grow up to be a fine man?
The older sister looks after her younger brother with a motherly gaze.

Their childhood days pass in the blink of an eye,
and the never-ending years take them on separate journeys,
wiping away fond memories .

They no longer need each other.
They no longer even remember each other.

Because
They have both live two separate lives.

The two continue to pursue their dreams.
Until the time comes when they need each other.
Until the time comes when they are bound together by memories.

Where can we go to meet ourselves from back then?
How can we return to the kindness we felt back then?
⋘⋘⋘⋘⋘⋘⋘⋘⋘⋘⋘⋘⋘⋘⋘⋘⋘⋘⋘⋘⋘⋘⋘⋘⋘⋘⋘

Before long
When the long journey that separated them comes to an end.　
The two are reunited with fond memories.
Because
The time they spent together will be forever,
just for the two of them.

[Short Poem]
