(Ranma) hajimete no sayonara   yubikiri   hoho ni ame
tegami o kaku to itta   kare wa usotsuki

(Ranma) A goodbye beginning, a promise by crossing fingers, a cheek in the rain
He said he would write a letter.  He's a liar.

(Akane) MAMA no me o nusunde   yuugure   aka denwa
juku kayoi o shiteru no?   kyou mo inai no?

(Akane) Stole mom's eyes, and at twilight, a red phone
Commuting to private school?   You also won't be here today?

(SHANPUU) ouen shitakatta   natsu no RITORURIIGU
ano HOOMURAN mitai   kiete shimatta

(Shampoo) The summer Little League that wanted support
Wanted to see that homerun.   It's vanished, regrettably.

(Nabiki) sukoshi dake sakamichi   ano michi no hou
ippozutsu   doushite ka na   tsuraku naru no

(Nabiki) Only a little hill road, in the direction of that town
One more step, why has it become painful?

(Kasumi) tonari michi ga tooi   kodomo datta ano hi
ima   danchi ni shizunda yuuhi   onnaji

(Kasumi) The next town is far.   That day that children were there
Now, the setting sun was depressing in the multi-unit apartments.  The same.

(zenin) hajimete no sayonara   yubikiri   hoho ni ame
tegami o kaku to itta   kare ni aitai

(All) A goodbye beginning, a promise by crossing fingers, a cheek in the rain
He said he would write a letter.  I want to meet him.
