### Romanji

*Arigatou tte tsutaetakute anata o mitsumeru kedo

Tsunagareta migite wa dareyori mo yasashiku

Hora kono koe o uketomete ru

Mabushii asa ni nigawarai shite sa anata ga mado o akeru

maikonda mirai ga hajimari o oshiete

Mata itsumo no machi e dekakeru yo

Dekoboko na mama tsumiagete kita futari no awai hibi wa

Koboreta hikari o daiji ni atsumete

Ima kagayaite irunda

Anata no yume ga itsukara ka futari no yume ni kawatte ita

Kyou datte itsuka taisetsu na omoide

Aozora mo nakizora mo harewataru youni

Arigatou tte tsutaetakute anata o mitsumeru kedo

Tsunagareta migite ga massugu na omoi o

Bukiyou ni tsutaete iru

Itsumademo tada itsumademo anata to waratteta kara

Shinjita kono michi o tashikamete iku yoni

Ima yukkurui to aruite ikou

Kenka shita hi mo naki atta hi mo sorezore iro sakasete

Masshiro na kokoro ni egakareta mirai o

mada kakitashite ikunda

Dareka no tame ni ikiru koto dareka no ai o ukeireru koto

Souyatte ima o chotto zutsu kasanete

Yorokobi mo kanashimi mo wakachiaeru youni

Omoiau koto ni shiawase o anata to mitsukete iketara

Arifureta koto sae kagayaki o dakuyo

Hora sono koe ni yorisotteku

Aishiteru tte tsutaetakute anata ni tsutaetakute

Kakegae no nai te o anata to no korekara o

Watashi wa shinjiteru kara

Arigatou tte kotoba o ima anata ni tsutaeru kara

Tsunagareta migite wa dareyori mo yasashiku

Hora kono koe o uketometeru*

### *English*

*I really want to say 'thank you', so I went to find you

The right hand that touched me, is kinder than anyone else's

Here, please accept this voice

In the dazzling morning with a bright smile, you open the window

You begin to teach me about the upcoming future

Again, we went to the town we have always go

The accumulated light from those two rough days

I carefully collected the spilled light

Now, I have become a shining person

I wonder when did your dreams has became our dreams

Today will become a precious memory someday

Whether it's a blue sky or a gray sky, it will be like a sunny day

I want to express my gratitude, so went to look for you

The right hand that touch me feels straightened

It has given so much to the clumsy me

To smile with you for ever and ever

I will make certain of this path we believed in

Now, I will walk down this path slowly

Each day, even when we fight or cry, the colors will always bloom

In this pure white heart, the picture of the future

Is yet to be painted

Things about whom do I live for or whose love will I accept

They are a little bit superimposed by this moment

In which I can share my happiness and sadness

The heavy feelings become happy thoughts when I am with you

We even have the common radiance

Here, that voice is surely nestle in me

I wanted to say 'I love you', so I said it to you

Now on, with you and that irreplaceable hand of yours

I will believe

Now, the word 'thank you', I say it to you

The most gentle right hand in the world that touches me

Here, I accept this voice**Video
