The English Translation of "Toki o Kizamu Uta" from "CLANNAD AFTER STORY"
I keep staring at the falling hourglass, If I turn it upside down, see, it starts again, Will I eventually fit into the time that only moves when it's marked?
On the slope where only you passed by, Several warm patches of sunlight were created, I'm alone here, reminiscing about the gentle warmth.
Only you, only you, I loved you, My eyes blur with the wind, you become distant.
I'll always remember, even if everything changes, Just one, just one ordinary thing, I'll show you, just that one filled with brilliance, I'll protect it forever and ever.
Though it's already spring, chilly days continue, Mornings where you woke up earlier than the alarm clock, Making breakfast for three, you stand there.
Only you, only you, You're not by my side, You were looking at me until yesterday, right by my side.
Only you, only you, I loved you, Singing a song just for you and only you, It's our, our marked time, I don't want just one side to continue, I don't want that.
I'll always remember, even if this town changes, No matter how much sadness we encounter, I'll show you, the moments when we were truly strong, Let's go, let's start walking up the slope.
