Japanese 	Romaji 	English
小さいころ親に捨てられ 	chiisai koro oya ni suterare 	Abandoned by our parents as children,
海の見える孤児院で育った 	umi no mieru kojiin de sodatta 	we were raised in an orphanage by the ocean
養ってくれたのは 	yashinatte kureta no wa 	The one who took care of us was
年老いた修道女 	toshioita shuudoujo 	an old nun
彼女はとても優しくて 	kanojo wa totemo yasashikute 	She was very kind
いつもニコニコ笑ってた 	itsumo nikoniko waratteta 	and was always smiling happily
たとえ貧しい生活でも 	tatoe mazushii seikatsu demo 	Even though we lived in poverty,
僕らは皆 幸せだった 	bokura wa mina shiawase datta 	all of us were happy
 	 	
やがて彼女は病に伏し 	yagate kanojo wa yamai ni fushi 	One day, she fell to illness
天に召される日が近づいた 	ten ni mesareru hi ga chikazuita 	The day she'd be summoned to heaven drew near
彼女の枕元で 	kanojo no makuramoto de 	At her bedside,
僕らはこう言った 	bokura wa kou itta 	we said to her:
ここまで育ててくれた 	koko made sodatete kureta 	You've raised us until now
あなたに恩返しがしたい 	anata ni ongaeshi ga shitai 	We want to repay you for that
どんな無茶でもかまわない 	donna mucha demo kamawanai 	No matter how absurd, it doesn't matter,
何か願いはないですか？ 	nanika negai wa nai desu ka? 	Isn't there something you wish for?
 	 	
彼女はにこりと微笑み 	kanojo wa nikori to hohoemi 	Smiling sweetly,
こんな風に答えてきた 	konna fuu ni kotaete kita 	She replied as such:
私はずっと待っている 	watashi wa zutto matte iru 	“I am always waiting
手紙の返事を待っている 	tegami no henji o matte iru 	Waiting for a reply to my letter
若かったあの日に出した 	wakakatta ano hi ni dashita 	I sent it one day when I was young,
届いたか どうかもわからない手紙を 	todoita ka douka mo wakaranai tegami o	A letter that I don't know arrived or not”
 	 	
もしも願いが叶うなら 	moshimo negai ga kanau nara 	“If my wish comes true,
もしも罪が許されるなら 	moshimo tsumi ga yurusareru nara 	If my sins are forgiven,
あの手紙の返事が欲しい 	ano tegami no henji ga hoshii 	I want a reply to that letter
それを待っている 	sore o matte iru 	I'm waiting for it”
 	 	
叶えられるはずもない願い 	kanaerareru hazu mo nai negai 	She laughs, “It's a wish that can't be granted
どうか忘れてと彼女は笑う 	douka wasurete to kanojo wa warau 	Please forget it”
彼女の出した手紙 	kanojo no dashita tegami 	The letter she sent,
誰に送ったものなのか？ 	dare ni okutta mono na no ka? 	who did she give it to?
僕らはみんなで手分けして 	bokura wa minna de tewake shite 	We all split up
国中を探して回った 	kunijuu o sagashite mawatta 	and searched all over the country
そして彼女の過去を知る 	soshite kanojo no kako o shiru 	And we found an old painter
画家の老人を見つけた 	gaka no roujin o mitsuketa 	who knew her past
 	 	
老人が語る真実 	roujin ga kataru shinjitsu 	The old man speaks the truth:
彼女はかつて人を殺した 	kanojo wa katsute hito o koroshita 	She once killed people
多くの人が不幸になり 	ooku no hito ga fukou ni nari 	Many people became unhappy
多くの人が涙を流した 	ooku no hito ga namida o nagashita 	Many people shed tears
手紙を送った相手は 	tegami o okutta aite wa 	The recipient of the letter
もうこの世にはいない人 	mou kono yo ni wa inai hito 	Is no longer with us
返事が来ることはない 	henji ga kuru koto wa nai 	The reply will never come
 	 	
それでも彼女は待つのだろう 	soredemo kanojo wa matsu no darou 	Even so she'll wait, won't she?
その身が朽ち果てた後でも 	sono mi ga kuchihateta ato demo 	Even after her body has rotten away
きっと彼女は待つのだろう 	kitto kanojo wa matsu no darou 	Surely she will wait
返事が来るまで 	henji ga kuru made 	Until her reply comes
 	 	
ついにその時はやってきた 	tsui ni sono toki wa yatte kita 	At last, the time came
彼女の生涯は幕を閉じる 	kanojo no shougai wa maku o tojiru 	Her life is coming to an end
僕は彼女の手の中 	boku wa kanojo no te no naka 	I press inside her hands
一枚の羊皮紙を渡す 	ichimai no youhishi o watasu 	One sheet of parchment
 	 	
それは僕が昨日書いた 	sore wa boku ga kinou kaita 	It was a fake reply to the letter
偽りの手紙の返事 	itsuwari no tegami no henji 	That I wrote yesterday
彼女はそれを一目見ると 	kanojo wa sore o hitome miru to 	Once she took a look at it,
最後に「ありがとう」と言った 	saigo ni "arigatou" to itta 	She finally said “Thank you”
 	 	
消えていく悲しき願い 	kiete iku kanashiki negai 	Her sorrowful wish disappears
いつも通りのあの笑顔 	itsumodoori no ano egao 	She has that same smile as always
罪に気付くのはいつだって 	tsumi ni kizuku no wa itsudatte 	We always only realize our sins
全て終わった後 	subete owatta ato 	After everything is over
