[Kokoro no Takarabako] Kokoro no Takarabako (The Heart's Treasure Chest)

Wasurenai de ne, boku to asonda hi Don't forget them--the days you played with me
Nagai michi o doko made mo itta yo neWe followed the long roads on to forever
Hashiritsukareta koronda toki waAnd when, tired from running, we fell
Kimi ga itsudemo chikarazukete kuretaYou always encouraged me
Issho ni itsu made mo hashiritsuzuketaiI want to keep running together forever
Onaka ga suite, kaeru koto mo wasureteAnd forget about hunger, forget about going home
Minna de itsu made mo asonde irareru toIf we all could keep playing forevermore
Shinjiteta ano hi ni mata kaeritaiI'd want to return to that day I believed in
 
Oboeteru ka na, kimi to deatta hiDo you remember the day we met?
Kimi wa hitori, tsumaranasou ni shitetaYou were alone and looking bored
Koe o kakeru to utsumukinagaraWhen I called out to you, looking down
Hazukashisou ni egao misete kuretaYou shyly showed me your smiling face
Issho ni hashiridashi kokoro hajikemasetetaWe ran out together and made our hearts burst
Kore kara nani ka hajimaru koto yume miteI dream that something's beginning from now on
Minna de itsu made mo asonde irareru toIf we could all keep playing forevermore
Omotteta ano hi ni mata modorou yoWe'll go back again to that day we've thought about
So yo: kaze, aozora, tomodachiThat's right: wind, blue skies, friends
Minna no egao sono mama niWith everyone's smiles just the same
Kokoro no takarabako ni ireteI put them into my heart's treasure chest
 
Boku wa ima mo hitori hashiritsuzuketeiruEven now I keep running alone
Ano koro no yume wasureru koto dekizu niUnable to forget the dreams of those days
Doko ka de deaetara onaji egao miseteIf we should meet somewhere, show me that same smile
Shinjiteta ashita e mata hashirou yoAnd let's run again to the tomorrow we believed in

Diamonds In My Heart

Do you remember the days
When we had a long, long way to go
And you were there for me
As I was there for you to be around?
The sun was shining brightly
Down on us so gently
That we thought we could go on
For as long and as far as we pleased

Hand in hand, forever and for more
We would run, we'd never have enough
Didn't even need to know
If it was time to wait
Or time to sleep
On and on, the hours tick away
So the memories can go astray
How I miss the days of golden sun
And please
I'd rather be with you

I still remember the days
When we had a long, long time to share
That's when I saw you there
Looking as tired as I used to be
"Hello", I said unsurely
You smiled a little shyly
Soon we knew we would go on
Together on a journey to our dreams

Hand in hand, forever and far more
We would run, we'd never have enough
Didn't even care to ask
How far away from home
We'd have to go
On and on, the hours tick away
So the memories can go astray
Oh I miss the never-ending road
And sure
I'd rather be with you
Sweet summer breeze
Or autumn leaves
Midwinter sky
And blooming flowers of spring
Friends and their laughter
Precious and kind
Let all shine like diamonds in my heart

All along, I'm here to find the way
To that dreams we used to have before
And I long to see again
Your smiling face along the way somewhere
If you hear me calling out your name
And you see the meaning of it all
Come and join me in this space again
You know, tomorrow will be there
