Hitomi Harada - Once Lyrics

So please don't go into a future where I will not be.
I still can't forget my thoughts in that brief moment.

On that day, I gripped a word tightly in my bosom.
That one single word changed my future for me.

I am having a dream,
but am I the only one having it?
You are looking at the sky,
and that sky belongs only to you.

If just one thing, if just one thing,
if there's just one precious thing in my bosom,
then I'll be able to overcome long nights and grief.
Only once, only with you,
that dream I exchanged is my everything.
I'm willing to risk my life to protect you.
This strong feeling of mine,
now let's call it "love".

If I were able to run into that one person again,
I should be able to live on with that person's memories.

I want to sing for you,
for I have found a tender song,
because I want to see once more
your rainbow-like smile.

If alone, if alone,
if everybody is born alone,
then loneliness is a very important friend.
If with you, if with you,
if you break out into tears,
I will be right by your side.
When we hold hands, we'll feel each other's warmth,
and that moment will signal the beginning of our hope.

Even if you pursue it to the point of overflowing,
it will only keep spilling from your hands.
Embraced among the thousands of stars,
we will surely be able to give it to each other.

Don't cry, Don't cry,
for I will protect you now,
even though the swelling tides of grief are creeping up on us.

If just one thing, if just one thing,
if there's just one precious thing in my bosom,
then I'll be able to overcome long nights and grief.
Only once, only with you,
that dream I exchanged is my everything.
I'm willing to risk my life to protect you.
This strong feeling of mine,
now let's call it "love".
