Kanashimi Yo Konnitiha (From "Maison Ikkoku") Lyrics

A gentle breeze in my hand
Starts to dance, twinkling, in the light.
Wearing a new smile for the first time,
I could say "Good morning," even to strangers.

When I couldn't see you anymore,
I cried until a clock rusted, but

I'm OK. After the tears have dried,
There's a door to a dream;
I mustn't worry.
If sadness comes again,
I'll smile, just like I'm welcoming a friend.
...It's a promise, for sure.

Downpouring petals
Whisper, fluttering, on my hair and shoulders.
There are as many partings as meetings.
It's not your fault.

Even though memories may overflow,
I won't lose my good cheer.

I'm OK. Because happiness sneaks in
Through cracks in my fractured heart,
I won't sigh.
Suddenly, sadness comes around, but
I'll make friends with it,
...because it's a promise.

I'm OK. After the tears have dried,
There's a door to a dream;
I mustn't worry.
That's right, I'll simply
Smile, just like I'm welcoming a friend.
...It's a promise, for sure.

Suddenly, sadness comes around, but
I'll make friends with it,
...because it's a promise.
