[Intro] [Verse 1] Hey, please don't cry, don't be mad, and just listen (ねえ、泣かないで 怒らないで聞いて) I've decided to move forward just a little bit ahead (私ね、少しだけ先に進むことにしたの) Let me puff out my chest and brag, just a little, (「26歳までちゃんと生きられたよ」って) That I managed to live properly all the way to 26 (ちょっとだけ胸を張って、エッヘンって威張らせてよ) [Verse 2] With the controller left sitting right there in the room, (プロコン置いたままの部屋で) Where will I be by the time you read this? (あなたがこれを見る頃、私はどこにいるかな) Before our parents, before you—the one I love the most— (親より、大好きなあなたより先に) Running on ahead like this makes me a bad girl, doesn't it? (駆け足で通り過ぎるなんて、悪い子だよね) [Chorus] But please, I'm asking you, just smile (だけどね、お願いだから笑ってよ) If you're crying, I won't be able to play properly up there in heaven (あなたが泣いていたら、私、天国(むこう)で遊べないじゃん) Live even more happily than yesterday when I was still around (私がいた昨日よりも、もっと楽しく生きてよ) Otherwise, when we finally meet again someday, (そうじゃなきゃ、いつかまた会ったとき) I won't be able to hear all your fun stories (そっちの楽しいお話、聞けなくなっちゃうから) [Verse 3] Go ahead and finish the game I left half-played (やりかけのゲームの続き、やっといて) You better keep playing it in my place, I'm serious (私の代わりに進めておいてね絶対だよ) When you finally arrive on this side in the distant future, (遠い未来にこっちに来たときは) I'm going to stay up all night and listen to every single trace of the life you've lived (寝ないでとことん、あなたの生きてきた軌跡すべてを聞くから) [Chorus] So hey, big sister, this is where your real responsibility begins (だからね、お姉ちゃん、ここからが責任重大だよ) Love this world and keep smiling, even for my sake (私の分まで、この世界を愛して、笑って) Instead of letting sad tears cloud your eyes, (切ない涙で瞳を曇らせるより) Show me that usual, dazzling smile of yours (いつもの眩しい笑顔を、私に見せていて) [Bridge] The truth is, I just wished (本当はね、この手紙が) This letter would disappear without ever being seen by anyone (誰の目にも触れずに、消えてしまえばよかった) I prayed and fought for a miracle like that, but (そんな奇跡を、祈って戦っていたけれど) Now that it's actually reached you, (届いてしまったからには) No more crying. That's a promise, okay? (もう、泣くのはおしまい。約束だよ?) [Chorus] My big sister, whom I love more than anyone else in the world (世界で一番、誰よりも大好きなお姉ちゃん) Even after I'm gone, your days will keep on going (私がいなくなっても、あなたの毎日は続くから) Whenever you feel lonely, look up at the sky and shout out, "Hey!" (寂しくなったら、空を見上げて「うぇーい!」って叫んで) Because I'll always be right there, smiling (私はいつだって、そこで笑っているから) [Outro] Filled with so many "thank yous" (たくさんの「ありがとう」と) And an overflowing amount of "I love you"s (溢れるほどの「大好き」を込めて) Hey, please find your smile again. (ねえ、笑顔を取り戻して。) I'll always be watching over you from up there. (天国(むこう)で、ずっと見守ってるからね。)
