Takako Uehara - Air (Translation)

I want to feel my emotions
And tell you how I feel --
Just like breathing, without pause...

...Because kindness, affection,
And a faithful heart
Are all invisible to the naked eye.

Even though I don't have any direction,
Time just passes by.
I'm supposed to be free,
But the sighs just pile up.

I was close to you; I was frolicking;
I kept talking; I embraced you;
I checked you; I could sense your aroma...

Whenever it was, at all times,
I was engulfed by you for sure.

As the air we shared
During those days
Fade into memory...

Sorrow and pain,
are inevitable
But I'm never going to look back.

I was shaken with anxiety
At the smallest things --
I wasn't honest with my feelings,
And always caused problems.

We misunderstood and hurt each other,
But my selfish heart
Was always only looking at you.
I always begged to have things I couldn't have.

I can't feel enough regret...
Can I be reborn?

I want to feel my emotions
And tell you how I feel --
Just like breathing, without pause...

...Because kindness, affection,
And a faithful heart
Are all invisible to the naked eye.

I was close to you; I was frolicking;
I kept talking; I embraced you;
I checked you; I could sense your aroma.

Whenever it was, at all times,
I was engulfed by you for sure.

As the air we shared
During those days
Fade into memory...

Sorrow and pain,
are inevitable
But I'm never going to look back.

I don't care if I'm by myself;
I'm going to keep on walking...

Keep on walking...
Keep on walking forever.
