With laughter being out of my character, I was listening carefully,
+
With my chin in my hands, to the noise of the afternoon.
+
As they slowly approach and then disappear,
+
I've just been watching the people that are like so many ripples.
+
If it would be conveyed even a little, I could write the meaning for why we're here.
+
With rain outside, I wrote my song inside the classroom.
+
Laugh; cry and shout; go on, all of you.
+
That's what I'm singing here and now.
+
Laugh as well as you can, like you're having fun. The continuation won't come out here.
+
It's already cleared up outside, but I'm here.
+
I've gradually gotten used to seeing these days.
+
Friends run along; when one falls down, everyone else laughs.
+
The shockingly peaceful past that we rushed our lives through
+
Must have been tiring. I want to rest forever...
+
Things aren't bad like this,
+
But that way, I won't achieve anything.
+
I want to turn this into a life with a meaning.
+
Laugh; cry and shout; go on; I will, too.
+
That's what I'm shouting here and now.
+
In what way do I need to spill my feelings so that I can disappear from here?
+
In what way do I need to forgive so that I can love those days?
+
"I think we can become stronger if we're together."
+
Words like that are weak - everyone is alone.
+
The autumn wind that seems to pierce through me is truly painful.
+
The legs that began to walk won't move forward anymore.
+
I want the strength to not say, "Thank you."
+
Someday, I'll learn how to go on without saying anything.
+
I'll start walking from here into all of the souls.
+
May God's blessings come to you. God bless you!
+
Laugh; cry and shout; when it's time for you to go.
+
I was standing completely still, all alone.
+
All alone, for just a little longer, I'll cry, I'll laugh,
+
On my way to days different from that one.
