I know that
makuhita was wanting the lyrics to "Sayonara wa Itsumo", the new closing song for the concert tour. So I figured, why not? I was in a lyrics mood. xD
That, and I'm procrastinating from school work. Shhh.
A few notes. As always, these lyrics are subject to change when the official lyrics are released. Updated with official lyrics, but translation is subject to little tweaks, as always.
Also, there is a line that reads "kono mune de", which literally means "in this chest", but since that's not a phrase used in English, I took the liberty of changing it to "in these arms". In addition, "namida no ato" was translated to "after the tears", but it could be "tear tracks". We'll have to see how the official lyrics transcribe the kanji for that line.
So, anyway. Without further ado, the transcribed, romanized, and translated lyrics!
Sayonara wa Itsumo (さよならはいつも) - Original Kanji Lyrics
どしゃ降りの雨 二人でずぶ濡れのまま歩いた
きっと答えを あの笑顔に 変えて行ける明日が来る
抱き寄せるたび遠くへ 君の心はかすんで
切ない夜にその名前を呼んでみても君はいない
流れる涙そのまま 悲しみはまだ 近くにあるから
目を閉じて君への歌奏でるから さよならはいつも涙のあと
でもどうしてそれでもまた恋に落ちて さよならはいつも涙の跡
叶わぬ恋に 疲れて あきらめるのはやめよう
頼りなくても 君を守る そう決めたよ 信じて欲しい
流れる涙この胸で 何も言わずに 甘えていいから
目を閉じて君への歌奏でるから さよならはいつも涙のあと
でもどうしてそれでもまた恋に落ちて さよならはいつも涙の跡
目を閉じて君への歌奏でるから さよならはいつも涙のあと
でもどうしてそれでもまた恋に落ちて さよならはいつも涙の跡
ここに君がいればそれだけで 何もいらないそれだけでいい
だからLOVE LOVE LOVE

Sayonara wa Itsumo (Goodbye is Always) - English Translated Lyrics
The two of us walked in the pouring rain, drenched
There must be a tomorrow where we can change the answer to that smile
Every time I draw you near, your heart grows hazy and farther away
Even if I call your name on a painful night, you’re not there
Streaming tears, just as is Because the sorrow is still near
I'll close my eyes and play a song for you
Goodbye is always after the tears
But why is it that we still fall in love again
Goodbye is always after the tears
Let’s stop giving up because you’re tired from a hopeless love
Even if I’m unreliable I’ll protect you That’s what I’ve decided I want you to believe me
Streaming tears, in these arms Without saying anything You can demand attention from me
I'll close my eyes and play a song for you
Goodbye is always after the tears
But why is it that we still fall in love again
Goodbye is always after the tears
I'll close my eyes and play a song for you
Goodbye is always after the tears
But why is it that we still fall in love again
Goodbye is always after the tears
If you’re here, that’s all I don’t need anything, that’s all I need
So Love Love Love
Enjoy! Comments are always welcome, like if you think it's a fitting closing song or not. xD
