(ENGLISH TRANSLATION)

Dear you,Who's reading this letter

Where are you and what are you doing now?

For me who's 15 years old

There are seeds of worries I can't tell anyone

If it's a letter addressed to my future self,Surely I can confide truly to myself

Now, it seems that I'm about to be defeated and cry

For someone who's seemingly about to disappear

Whose words should I believe in?This one-and-only heart has been broken so many times

In the midst of this pain, I live the present

Dear you,Thank you

I have something to tell the 15-year-old you

If you continue asking what and where you should be going

You'll be able to see the answer

The rough seas of youth may be tough

But row your boat of dreams on

Towards the shores of tomorrow

Now, please don't be defeated and please don't shed a tear

During these times when you're seemingly about to disappear

Just believe in your own voice

For me as an adult, there are sleepless nights when I'm hurt

But I'm living the bittersweet present

There's meaning to everything in life

So build your dreams without fear

Keep on believing

Seems like I'm about to be defeated and cry

For someone who's seemingly about to disappear

Whose words should I believe in?Please don't be defeated and please don't shed a tear

During these times when you're seemingly about to disappear

Just believe in your own voice

No matter era we're in

There's no running away from sorrow

So show your smile, and go on living the present

Go on living the present

Dear you,Who's reading this letter

I wish you happiness...
