Japanese	Rōmaji	Fan-Translation
君と二人で歩いたあの頃の道は無くて それでもずっと歩いた、何時か君と会えるのかな なだらかな丘の上緩やかに雪が降る届かないと解っても 君の部屋に一輪大好きだった花を今．．． 去年最後の雪の日堅く交わした約束 思い出せば溶け出し掌から零れて なだらかな丘の上緩やかに雪が降る届かないと解っても 君の部屋に一輪大好きだった花を今．．． 窓辺に一人きりで只雪を見つめてる君を思い出しながら 硝子越しに君を浮かべ最後の口付けして．．． ねぇ　笑ってよ　もう泣かないで ここからずっと貴方を見ているわ なだらかな丘の上緩やかに雪が降る届かないと解っても 君の部屋に一輪大好きだった花を今．．． 明かりは　静かに　白く染め行く街の中 君が見た最後の季節色 涙を　落とした　現実とは残酷だね 君が見た最後の季節色 四季と君の色やがて消えるだろう 雪は溶けて街角に花が咲き 君が見た「色彩は」そっと溶けてゆく 今年最後の雪の日街角に一輪の花 空を見上げれば最後の雪が掌に零れて	Kimi to futari de aruita ano koro no michi wa naku te Sore demo zutto aruita, itsu ka kimi to aeru no kana Nadaraka na oka no ue yuruyaka ni yuki ga furu todokanai to wakatte mo Kimi no heya ni hitotsu daisuki datta hana o ima… Kyonen saigo no yuki no hi kataku kawashita yakusoku Omoidaseba toke dashi tenohira kara koborete Nadaraka na oka no ue yuruyaka ni yuki ga furu todokanai to wakatte mo Kimi no heya ni hitotsu daisuki datta hana o ima… Madobe ni hitori kiri de tada yuki o mitsumeteru kimi o omoidashi nagara Garasugoshi ni kimi o ukabe saigo no kuchizuke shite… Nee　Waratte yo　Mō nakanaide Koko kara zutto anata o mite iru wa Nadaraka na oka no ue yuruyaka ni yuki ga furu todokanai to wakatte mo Kimi no heya ni hitotsu daisuki datta hana o ima… Akari wa　Shizuka ni　Shiroku some yuku machi no naka Kimi ga mita saigo no kisetsu iro Namida o　Otoshita　Genjitsu to wa zankoku da ne Kimi ga mita saigo no kisetsu iro Shiki to kimi no iro yagate kieru darō Yuki wa tokete machikado ni hana ga saki Kimi ga mita "shikisai wa" sotto tokete yuku Kotoshi saigo no yuki no hi machikado ni ichirin no hana Sora o miagereba saigo no yuki ga tenohira ni koborete	The paths you and I used to walk on together aren't there anymore Still I kept walking, wondering if I will be able to meet you at some point On top of the gently sloping hill the snow falls slowly, even though I know it doesn't reach you In your room I put one of the flowers you used to love so, now… Last year's last day of snow, the promises we exchanged so firmly Whenever I recall them, they start melting and spill from my palms On top of the gently sloping hill the snow falls slowly, even though I know it doesn't reach you In your room I put one of the flowers you used to love so, now… I sit by the window all by myself, just staring at the snow and as I start thinking of you I imagine you behind the glass and kiss you one last time… Hey, smile　Don't cry anymore I'm always watching you from here On top of the gently sloping hill the snow falls slowly, even though I know it doesn't reach you In your room I put one of the flowers you used to love so, now… The light silently dyes the center of the city white The last seasonal color that you saw I shed tears　Reality is a cruel thing, isn't it? The last seasonal color that you saw The four season's colors, as well as yours, will soon disappear, won't they? The snow will melt and in the street corners flowers will bloom "The colors" that you saw are quietly melting away The last day of snow this year One flower in the street corner When I look up at the sky, the last snow spills onto my palm
