English
Now that you have shed your tears Like a sobbing child Even if tomorrow is unforeseeable I will protect you It looks like the summer sky is crying

Just to pretend to be strong you couldn't show your tears Despite that you were really scared

In a way with out losing important things I have out run the inevitable death

It's always been a long night and the both of us have climbed over it. Because of how we are now together It's okay for you to stop pretending

Now that you have shed your tears Like a sobbing child Even if tommorow is unforeseeable I will go forward

It looks like the summer sky is holding out It looks like the summer sky is crying
