Romanized Lyrics

Hirusagari no rouka wo aruiteiru to
Dareka ga kata wo tatakimashita
Furikaeru to sore wa omotta toori
Itazurazuki no kimi deshita

Omotteita yori mo zutto hayaku
Kimi mo otonarashiku narimashita ne
Dakedo kodomo mitai ni itsumademo
Machigaidarake no kimi de ite kudasai

Teacher
Anata wa dare yori mo
Kowakute yasashii taisetsu na hito
Dakara, Teacher
Bokura wa korekara mo
Anata no kotoba wo wasurenai yo

Kage ga nobiru hodou surechigau hito
Dare no namae mo shiranai kedo
Furikaereba itsumo omoidashimasu
Namae wo tsukete kureta koto

Omotteiru yori mo zutto nagaku
Michinori wa madamada tsuzukimasu yo
Dakedo tama ni wa nani mo kangaezu
Fuzakete bakari no kimi de ite kudasai

Teacher
Anata wa dare yori mo
Chikakute todokanai nikurashii hito

Bokura wa itsu no hi ka
Anata no senaka wo oikosu no sa

Ikutsumo no takaramono
Kakaete saka wo kakenoboru
Furuboketa ano kyoushitsu ga

Omotteiru yori mo zutto ooku
Kimi wa ironna koto wo manabimashita ne
Dakara kyou mo ikiteiru to iu koto
Itsu demo egao de mune wo hatte kudasai

Teacher
Anata wa dare yori mo
Kowakute yasashii taisetsu na hito
Dakara, Teacher
Bokura wa korekara mo
Anata wo, anata wo wasurenai yo

English Lyrics

Walking down the hallway in the early afternoon
Someone tapped me on the shoulder
When I turned around, just as I expected
It was you, always eager for a prank

Much faster than I ever imagined
You have grown up to be quite the adult, haven't you
But please, just like a child, forever stay
The "you" who makes countless mistakes

Teacher
More than anyone else
You are a terrifying yet kind, irreplaceable person
And so, Teacher
From this day forward
We will never forget your words

On the sidewalk where shadows lengthen, passing by strangers
I don't know a single one of their names
But whenever I look back, I always remember
The day that you gave me a name

The journey ahead will continue on
For much longer than you might think
But occasionally, without thinking too hard
Please stay the "you" who is always fooling around

Teacher
More than anyone else
You are a maddening person, so close yet out of reach
And so, Teacher
One day, we are going to
Finally catch up and surpass you

Holding countless treasures in my arms
I run up the hill
Because that old, worn-out classroom
Is waiting there for me

Much more than you might realize
You have learned so many things, haven't you
So please, always smile and stand proud
Of the very fact that you are alive today

Teacher
More than anyone else
You are a terrifying yet kind, irreplaceable person
And so, Teacher
From this day forward
We will never, ever forget you

Japanese Lyrics

昼下がりの廊下を歩いていると
誰かが肩を叩きました
振り返るとそれは思った通り
いたずら好きの君でした

思っていたよりもずっと早く
君も大人らしくなりましたね
だけど子供みたいに いつまでも
間違いだらけの君でいてください

Teacher
あなたは誰よりも
怖くて優しい大切な人
だから、Teacher
僕らはこれからも
あなたの言葉を忘れないよ

影が伸びる歩道 すれ違う人
誰の名前も知らないけど
振り返ればいつも思い出します
名前をつけてくれたこと

思っているよりもずっと長く
道のりはまだまだ続きますよ
だけどたまには 何も考えず
ふざけてばかりの君でいてください

Teacher
あなたは誰よりも
近くて届かない憎らしい人
だから、Teacher
僕らはいつの日か
あなたの背中を追い越すのさ

いくつもの宝物
抱えて坂を駆け上る
古ぼけたあの教室が
僕を待ってるから

思っているよりもずっと多く
君は色んなことを学びましたね
だから今日も生きているということ
いつでも笑顔で胸を張ってください

Teacher
あなたは誰よりも
怖くて優しい大切な人
だから、Teacher
僕らはこれからも
あなたを、あなたを忘れないよ
