ねぇ まだ笑えてる？
Hey, are we still smiling?

Hold me close now so we don't forget 2

抱きしめていて 忘れぬように
Hold me close now so we don't forget
声もいつか届かなくなる
One day, even our voices won't reach eachother

やっと重なった

あなたの影と
with your shadow
忘れないでね これが終わりじゃない事

1 This line uses 意味 (meaning / significance), rather than reason (which would be 事由), but I think reason works here in English, the more accurate but awkward translation would be something like 'Searching for a meaning (in life), to keep believing in tomorrow'
2 Could be 'So I/you don't forget' as there's no personal pronoun
3 舞い散る (maichiru) means 'to fall as if dancing' (e.g. leaves, petals), I like that Japanese has a word for this <3 Also, could be either the voice or the footsteps that are vanishing (or both?), but my guess is it's the footsteps.
