「恨んだの？ どうでもいい、と。」 	"uranda no? dou demo ii, to." 	"Did you resent it? I could care less, y'know."
「嘆いたの？ 孤独のことを。」 	"nageita no? kodoku no koto o." 	"Were you lamenting it? Your loneliness, that is."
「判ったの？ 蝉が死ぬことを。」 	"wakatta no? semi ga shinu koto o." 	"Do you understand now? That cicadas die."

変な愛情、握り締めては。 	hen na aijou, nigirishimete wa. 	An abnormal sense of love - each of those times I was keeping it in my hands, tight.
隣のあいつと、要らない夢を見て、 	tonari no aitsu to, iranai yume o mite, 	As he was sitting beside me, we were dreaming a useless dream,
「僕は絶対、今日を忘れないよ。」 	"boku wa zettai, kyou o wasurenai yo." 	And then said, "I'll absolutely never forget this day."
夜中の幻想、壊して憂う。 	yonaka no gensou, kowashite ureu. 	A fantastical dreamscape in the middle of the night - having smashed it to pieces, I lament.
君の顔だって、もう解らないんだ。 	kimi no kao datte, mou wakaranai nda. 	And as for your face, I've already forgotten how to make sense of even it.
