Found a quite old animemovie in my HDD. The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. waa. cedey2 layan this animemovie. Memang touching lol.

Anyway the title isn’t about the animemovie (in Japanese it is call Toki o Kakeru Shojo), but the title is about one of the best song heard in the movie (somewhere during the last part, where she went back through time and remembered of Chiaki-kun), Kawara Nai Mono, or in plain English, Unchanging Things.

Here’s the lyrics (thanks animelyrics.com) : [Oh yeah, it might be a little small on your screen, so press "CTRL"  and "+" at the same time to enlarge it]

Original / Romaji Lyrics	English Translation
kaerimichi fuzakete aruita wake mo naku kimi wo okoraseta ironna kimi no kao wo mitakattanda	We joked around on our way home. I made you angry for no reason. I guess I just wanted to see your different sides.
ookina hitomi ga nakisou na koe ga ima mo boku no mune wo shimetsukeru surechigau hito no naka de kimi wo oikaketa	Your large eyes, your trembling voice, Even now they are close by my heart. In the crowd of strangers, I ran after you.
kawaranai mono sagashiteita ano hi no kimi wo wasure wa shinai toki wo koeteku omoi ga aru boku wa ima sugu kimi ni aitai	I was searching for the things that never change. I will never forget how you were on that day. These feelings I have transcend time. I just want to meet you now.
gaitou ni burasageta omoi itsumo kimi ni watasenakatta yoru wa bokutachi wo toozakete-itta ne	These feelings upon which the street lights shine, I could never manage to let you have them. The nights brought us further away from each other.
mienai kokoro de uso tsuita koe ga ima mo boku no mune ni hibiteiru samayou toki no naka de kimi to koi wo shita	The lie you told through your opaque heart, Even now it continues to resonate within me. Uncertain of our future, you and I fell in love.
kawaranai mono sagashiteita ano hi mitsuketa shiranai basho e kimi wo futari de yukeru no nara boku wa nando mo umarekawareru	I was searching for the things that never change. The unfamiliar place we found on that day, If the two of us can go there together again, I will be reborn as many times as it takes.
katachi nai mono dakishimeteta kowareru oto mo kikoenai mama kimi to aruita onaji michi ni ima mo akari wa terashi-tsudzukeru	As I embrace the things that have no shape, I fail to hear the breaking sound. On the same path that we walked together, Even now the light continues to shine.
kawaranai mono sagashiteita ano hi no kimi wo wasure wa shinai toki wo koeteku omoi ga aru boku wa ima sugu kimi ni aitai	I was searching for the things that never change. I will never forget how you were on that day. These feelings I have transcend time. I just want to meet you now.
boku wa ima sugu kimi ni aitai	I just want to meet you now.
