English version
You're my friend, ah, you haven't forgotten
The dream from that day yet, have you?
You're my dream, ah, your one longest way has begun
Oh, let's go now!
Everyday ahead is a shining day
Unchanging singin', your shining morning smile
Here, a last glimpse of funny days
I'll jump to the future, I've aimed to go far, dreaming of your heart
I'll go the distance, in the endless blue sky
Embarking on a star ship, this is the most extreme forever trip
You're my friend, ah, you haven't forgotten
The dream from that day yet, have you?
You're my dream, ah, your one longest way has begun
Oh, let's go now!
Thank you my friend, ah, even though I
Still remember what happened that day
You're my dream, I still can't turn back to those days again
Oh, I'll go the distance
The lie I've told that's too big for me to keep hiding
I've come to terms with it, this is the end of my trip
It's a game I'll forever lose, from here on, my one dream has begun
You're my friend, ah, you haven't forgotten
The dream from that day yet, have you?
You're my dream, ah, your one longest way has begun
Oh, let's go now!
Thank you my friend, ah, even though I
Still remember what happened that day
You're my dream, I still can't turn back to those days again
Already on the move towards tomorrow, my flame of heart cannot be put out
That's right, I'll go the distance
