AKB48 - So Long! (English Translation)
So long! ...Smile
So long! ...See you again
On the branches are numerous closed buds
Though the cherry blossoms haven't bloomed yet
Our spring will arrive in accord with the calendar
The road of hope will make the flowers bloom
We clumsily talked about our dreams
Worrying about love, we shared tears
Our memories will become something to lean on
Starting tomorrow, let's live strong
Even if there's hardship
You're not alone, you'll manage somehow
Don't forget thе perspiration we built up
On the grounds wе ran across together
My friend
When you hugged me tight, it filled my heart
I decided I definitely wouldn't cry, but
Wiping each other's tears with our fingers
When we laughed together, the tears came unbidden
Like the evening is hurrying it along
The final chime sounds like the footsteps of the future
We can still make memories
There's a blue sky spreading out before our eyes
Happiness and sadness both
Become our treasures
Though we'll go our separate ways
You'll always be here by my side...
Best friend
Hey, why is it that the cherry trees are heartrending?
They finally bloom, then soon scatter
Looking up at them, the flowers are like an hourglass
La la la...
La la la...
Our memories will become something to lean on
Starting tomorrow, let's live strong
Even if there's hardship
You're not alone, you'll manage somehow
Don't forget the perspiration we built up
On the grounds we ran across together
My friend
La la la...
So long!
La la la...
Someday, when I have my wedding
I'll be sure to invite you
My friend
