Friends - Yawmin
"Ranma 1/2 Nettouhen" ending theme (1990)

taorete-kisou-na  BIRU no mori no sumi
hazumu kokyuu o  nomikonde kakureta
	In a corner of a forest of as if collapsing buildings,
	gulping in panting breaths, I hid.

himitsu no roji wo surinuke
yubisaki kasume-nigeru FURENZU
tada no GEEMU ja nakatta
ummei sae KIMEtanda
	Slipping through a secret alley,
	friends going past my fingertips.
	It wasn't just a game.
	It decided even fate.

* kaerimichi ni otoshita PAN ga
  ASUFARUTO de kudakete mo
  senaka tataku kaze ga hakobu yo
  natsukashii ashioto  soshite KIMI no koe
	On the way back, even if the dropped bread
	breaks on the asphalt,
	the wind hitting my back carries
	sweet footsteps and your voice!

koborete-kisou-na  tsuki no DOROPPU de
museta namida o  nomikonde waratta
	At as if overflowing moondrops,
	swallowing tears from coughing, I laughed.

minareta kouen no yoru
naze konna ni hiroi no FURENZU
kono te wo hanasanaide
otoshiana shitteru n da
	Night in a familiar park,
	why is it so vast, my friends?
	Don't let go of my hand,
	I know where pits are.

sunao sugiru yokogao dakara
uso wa chotto tsukenakute
tenohira ni mada nokotte-iru
tooi hi no yakusoku  soshite KIMI no yume
	You're profile looks too innocent, so
	I just couldn't lie to you,
	leaving behind still in my palm,
	a promise from long ago and your dream.

* Repeat
