終わりへ向かう始まりの歌 Owari e mukau hajimari no uta Translation by fofi

昔　それは遠い昔
Long ago - that was a long long time ago
 未来はまだまだずっと先で
 The future was still far far ahead
 きっと今とは違う日々が
 For sure, days different from those of now
 待ってるものだと勝手に思っていた
 Were waiting, I conveniently assumed
 けれど気づく
 But (now) I realize
 未来はとうに
 The future.. is already here
 いいや　なんでもないよ
 No, it's nothing...
 だけどね
 But you know...

 その悲しみのあまりの重さに
 The all-too-heavy weight of that sadness
 耐えられなくなってしまいそうなときは
 When it seems that you can't bear it all anymore
 歩みを止めて　耳を傾けて
 Stop walking, and listen carefully
 この記憶に見覚えがあるでしょう
 Don't you recall this memory(scene)?
 さぁ　目を閉じて
 Now, just close your eyes...
