"Hitoribotchi ga futo sabishiku natta toki,
Dare ka no egao ga mitaku naru.
Kimi, tomadachi iru? Donna tomodachi iru?
Yoku issho ni asobu? Yoku kenka suru?
Tomodachi ka... Nantonaku ki ga au.
_Sontokonukide tsukiaeru.
Omotta koto ga ieru.
Otagai no ikikata ga rikai shiaeru.
Sonna yatsu no koto ka na.
Aitsu wa ii tomodachi kai? Ja, kimi wa?
Ii tomodachi ni naru tte muzukashii ne.
Omoikiri butsukariaete, toki ni wa jinsei ga katariaete,
Sonna tomodachi ni naritai naa."

Tomo yo ikite iru no ga kurushii ka
Te wo sashinoberu no wa
Tayasui koto da kedo
Hitori de tatte imi ga aru
Namida wo nagashita otoko de nakerya
Hito no yo no kanashimi wa wakaranai
Issho ni arukou kono michi wo
Issho ni arukou kono michi wo
Inochi no moetsukiru made

Tomo yo namida nagasu no tsurai no ka
Nugutte yaru no wa
Tayasui koto dakedo
Hitori de naite imi ga aru
Shiawase suteta otoko de nakerya
Hito no yo no kurushimi wa wakaranai
Issho ni arukou kono michi wo
Issho ni arukou kono michi wo
Inochi no moetsukiru made

Shiawase suteta otoko de nakerya
Hito no yo no kurushimi wa wakaranai
Issho ni arukou kono michi wo
Issho ni arukou kono michi wo
Inochi no moetsukiru made

"When we feel sad and lonely,
we long to see someone smile at us.
You, do you have friends? What kind of friends?
Do you go out often? Do you fight often?
Friends... People who just get along 
and fit into each other.
People who can speak out their minds to each other.
People who understand each other's way of life.
That kind of fellow.
Is that a good friend? So, what about you?
Isn't it hard to be a good friend?
There are times you clash, there are times you spell your lives out to each other.
It would be nice to be such a friend."

Friend, do you find life hard?
It's so easy
To just reach out your hand
But it would be good to be able to stand up on your own feet
If you had never known tears
You would not understand other people's sorrows as well
Let's walk this path together
Let's walk this path together
Till the day we die

Friend, does it hurt to cry?
It's so easy
For me to wipe them off for you
But sometimes it's good to do one's crying alone
If you never knew how it is to forego joy
You would not understand people's suffering
Let's walk this path together
Let's walk this path together
Till the day we die

If you never knew how it is to forego joy
You would not understand people's suffering
Let's walk this path together
Let's walk this path together
Till the day we die
