Given a cheer of goodbye, I start to walk once more in a brand-new life without you What was thrown away won’t come back even if I write it down My usual energy is... gone Summer is here, one step – fall is here, two steps Winter is here, time to wait for spring I wonder if I can move on [1] I was the one who said “from here on out” It was a round with no outward decency and frustrated cries What I sought isn’t reflected even in store windows My usual appearance is... gone Summer is here, one step – fall is here, two steps Winter is here, time to wait for spring I wonder if I can get used to freedom |
Translator's notes: [1] Sotsugyou, translated here as "move on," can also mean "graduate" (from school). In Japan, school graduation occurs in March, in the spring. So Bonnie is making a double meaning out of sotsugyou--the song's speaker is wondering if she can move on/graduate from a breakup around the season people similarly graduate from school.
