本当のおめでとう (Hontou no Omedetou)

==Lyrics==
Japanese 	Romaji 	English
あなたがここを出て行く日 	Anata ga koko o dete yuku hi 	The day you left here
長い夢が叶ったんだね 	nagai yume ga kanatta n da ne 	you fulfilled a long dream.
少しぎこちない装いで 	Sukoshi gikochinai yosooi de 	Stiffly dressed
希望にあふれた瞳（め）をしてた 	kibō ni afureta me o shiteta 	your eyes were filled with hope.
 	 	
頑張っておいてとかけた言葉 	Ganbatte oite to kaketa kotoba 	The words you told me, to do my best,
私は無理して笑っていた 	watashi wa muri shite waratte ita 	I forced a smile.
あなたに気づかれないように 	Anata ni kizukarenai yō ni 	So that you wouldn't notice,
そっと目線をそらす 	sotto mesen o sorasu 	I looked the other way.
周囲（まわり）の人は輝いていて 	Mawari no hito wa kagayaite ite 	The people around me were shining,
自分だけ薄汚れて見えてしまう 	jibun dake usuyogorete miete shimau 	while only I look unclean.
それでも諦めたくなかった 	Sore de mo akirametaku nakatta 	Even so, I didn't want to give up, because
あの頃の二人　取り戻したいから 	Ano koro no futari torimodoshitai kara 	I wanted to go back to how the two of us were back then.
 	 	
やっと今　あなたに追いつける 	Yatto ima anata ni oitsukeru 	Now at last I can catch up to you.
決して短い時間じゃなかったけれど 	Keshite mijikai jikan ja nakatta keredo 	It was by no means a short time, but
あの時　無理して口にした言葉が 	ano toki muri shite kuchi ni shita kotoba ga	the words I forced myself to say back then
素直な気持ちに変わる　おめでとう 	sunao na kimochi ni kawaru Omedetō 	have changed into a genuine feeling. Congratulations.
 	 	
一番に喜んでくれる 	Ichiban ni yorokonde kureru 	You were the first to be glad for me,
あなたを見て判（わか）ったんだ 	anata o mite wakatta n da 	and seeing you, I understood.
寂しかったのは私だけじゃない 	Sabishikatta no wa watashi dake ja nai 	I wasn't the only one who was lonely.
その笑顔が全てを教えてくれた 	Sono egao ga subete o oshiete kureta 	That smile told me everything.
 	 	
長い間　待たせてごめんね 	Nagai aida matasete gomen ne 	Sorry for keeping you waiting so long.
途中で先が見えない事もあった 	Tochū de saki ga mienai koto mo atta 	There were even times along the way when I couldn't see the way ahead.
あの時　互いにすれ違った目線 	Ano toki tagai ni surechigatta mesen 	When we both diverted our eyes that time,
あなたも合わせられないでいたんだ 	anata mo awaserarenaide ita n da 	you couldn't look at me either.
 	 	
やっと今　あなたに追いつける 	Yatto ima anata ni oitsukeru 	Now at last I'll catch up to you.
決して短い道のりじゃなかった 	Keshite mijikai michinori ja nakatta 	It was by no means a short journey.
あの時無理して　溶けていった言葉が 	Ano toki muri shite tokete itta kotoba ga 	Those words that time that I could barely say,
あなたの口から　意味を変えて 	anata no kuchi kara imi o kaete 	you say them with your own lips with a new meaning.
 	 	
私の心に届く 	Watashi no kokoro ni todoku 	It reaches my heart.
「おめでとう」 	"Omedetō" 	"Congratulations."
