はじめてのともだち (hajimete no tomodachi)-eng-

I was all alone in the corner of a room no able to trust anyone.
And then one day, you appeared out of the blue.

You were my first friend.

On sunny days,
On rainy days also,
We're always together
Because you were with me, always by my side,
I was no longer all alone.
I threw a baseball, and you came back with it in your mouth.
I was so happy, just so happy, that I gave you a hug.

On sunny days,
On rainy days also,
We're always together
Because you are with me, always by my side,
I was able to become strong.

(Thank you.
For always being with me.

You always greeted me when I came home.
Before I knew it, I started to take you for granted.
I can't express how much you mean to me with just words but,
You are very dear and precious to me.)

As time as passed, you grew old.
You weren't even able to walk anymore.
It'll be ok.
It'll be ok.
This time I'll take care of you.
Your breath began to become rough,
Your eyes shut as if going to sleep.
It'll be ok.
It'll be ok.
I'll stay with you.
Thank you and goodbye, my first friend.
