誰もが気づかぬうちに　何かをうしなっている
フッと気づけばあなたはいない　思い出だけを残して
せわしい時の中　言葉を失った人形達のように
街角に溢れたノラネコのように
声にならない叫びが聴こえてくる

もしも　もう一度あなたに会えるなら
たった一言伝えたい　ありがと　ありがと

時には傷つけあっても　あなたを感じていたい
思い出はせめてもの慰め　いつまでもあなたはここにいる

もしも　もう一度あなたに会えるなら
たった一言伝えたい　ありがと　ありがと

もしも　もう一度あなたに会えるなら
たった一言伝えたい
もしも　もう一度あなたに会えるなら
たった一言伝えたい　ありがと　ありがと

時には傷つけあっても　あなたを感じていたい

daremo ga kizukanu uchi ni   nanika wo ushinatteiru 
futto kizukeba anata wa inai   omoide dake wo nokoshite
sewashii toki no naka   kotoba wo ushinatta ningyo tachi no you ni
machikado ni afureta NORANEKO no you ni
koe ni naranai sakebi ga kikoetekuru
	While no one was watching, something was lost [1]
	With a start I realized you were gone, and only memories remained
	In this restless time, I can hear voiceless cries
	as if made by dolls who had lost the power of speech,
	or stray cats spilling onto the street corners

moshimo mou ichido anata ni aeru nara
tatta hitokoto tsutaetai   arigato   arigatou
	If I ever meet you again
	I just want you to know one thing   thank you    thank you [2]

toki ni wa kizutsuke attemo  anata wo kanjiteitai
omoide wa semetemono nagusame   itsumademo anata wa koko ni iru
	Though it hurts sometimes, I want to feel your presence
	The memories are a little solace   so you are always here

moshimo mou ichido anata ni aeru nara
tatta hitokoto tsutaetai   arigato   arigatou
	If I ever meet you again
	I just want you to know one thing   thank you   thank you [2]

moshimo mou ichido anata ni aeru nara
tatta hitokoto tsutaetai
moshimo mou ichido anata ni aeru nara
tatta hitokoto tsutaetai   arigato   arigatou
	If I ever meet you again
	I just want you to know one thing
	If I ever meet you again
	I just want you to know one thing   thank you   thank you [2]

toki ni wa kizutsuke attemo   anata wo kanjitetai
	Though it hurts sometimes, I want to feel your presence

[1] daremo ga kizukanu uchi ni   nanika wo ushinatteiru: more literally: During a time when no one noticed, [I] lost something

[2] tatta hitokoto tsutaetai: more literally, "I just want to tell you one thing." I took some poetic license here.
