Maria Ai subeki hito ga ite
kizu wo otta subete no monodachi...

Mawari wo miwataseba
Dare mo ga awatadashiku
Dokoka ashibaya ni toorisugi

Kotoshi mo ki ga tsukeba
Konnani sugu soba made
Fuyu no kehai ga otozureteta

Kyou mo kitto kono machi no dokoka de
Deatte me ga atta futari
Hageshiku maku ga aketeku

Soredemo subete ni wa
Kanarazu itsu no hi ni ka
Owari ga yatte kuru mono dakara

Kyou mo mata kono machi no dokoka de
Wakare no michi Erabu futari
Shizukani maku wo oroshita

Maria Ai subeki hito ga ite
Toki ni Tsuyoi kodoku wo kanji
Dakedo Ai subeki ano hito ni
Kekkyoku nani mo ka mo mitasareru

Maria Ai subeki hito ga ite
Toki ni Fukaku fukai kizu wo oi
Dakedo Ai subeki ano hito ni
Kekkyoku nani mo ka mo iyasareteru

Maria Dare mo mina naite iru
Maria Dakedo shinjite itai
Maria Dakara inotte iru yo
Kore ga saigo no koi de aru you ni

Wakenaku hajimari wa otozure
Owari wa itsudatte wake wo motsu...

English Translation

Maria There is someone I should love;
every person who has ever been hurt...

As I look around,
everyone busily
hurries on by.

I noticed that this year, too,
the signs of winter have
come very soon.

Again, somewhere in this city today
two people will meet and fall in love;
the curtains are violently drawn open.

Even so, everything eventually,
someday, has an end.

Again, somewhere in this city today
two people split apart;
the curtains are quitely drawn shut.

Maria There is someone I should love.
At times I feel very lonely.
But my needs are all fulfilled
by the person I should love.

Maria There is someone I should love.
At times I bear very deep wounds.
But they are all healed
by the person I should love.

Maria Everyone is crying.
Maria But I want to believe.
Maria So I'm praying now
that this is my final love.

Beginnings come at random,
but endings always have a reason..

-M, Ayumi Hamasaki
