My native language is not English.  But this is my attempt to provide an English translation anyway.  Enjoy!

Things That Are Certain (Tashika Na Koto)

Composer: Oda Kazumasa
Lyrics: Oda Kazumasa

Glancing at the sky after the rain
In the midst of passing by crowds
Due to this unending sorrow
Probably would not realize even tiny happiness

As time passes
Would I be able to love you?
Can I really be your guarding angle?
Glancing at the sky
Thinking
What I can do for you now?

Please don't forget
Whenever it is
Because I'm surely by your side
For that reason, we are here
Feeling the same traveling wind
Living the same time together

Please be considerate of yourself
Like you would gently sympathize somebody else
In sorrowful moments
You're not in solitude
Please don't go too far away

I want to believe rather than be doubtful
Even if it means that the wound in my heart would not mend
I shall go search for what has been lost
Some time
Some day
It should be found

The most important thing is nothing special
In our usual everyday life
Starring at you with the very same feeling at this moment

There are still things I want to tell you but cannot be expressed in words
That is my love towards you since the first day we've met

Are you glancing at the sky?
Are you hearing the sound of the traveling wind?
You could not return here anymore
But please don't ever consider that sorrowful

The most important thing is nothing special
In our usual everyday life
Starring at you with the very same feeling at this moment

Please don't forget
Whenever it is
Because I'm surely by your side
For that reason, we are here
Feeling the same traveling wind
Living the same time together

Whenever it is
Because I'm certain I'm by your side

たしかなこと

雨上がりの空を見ていた　通り過ぎてゆく人の中で
哀しみは絶えないから　小さな幸せに気づかないんだろ

時を越えて君を愛せるか　本当に君を守れるか
空を見て考えてた　君のために今何ができるか

忘れないで　どんなときも　きっとそばにいるから
そのために僕らは　この場所で
同じ風に吹かれて　同じときを生きてるんだ

自分のこと大切にして　誰かのことそっと想うみたいに
切ない時　一人でいないで　遠く　遠く離れていかないで

疑うより信じていたい　たとえ心の傷は消えなくても
なくしたもの探しに行こう　いつか　いつの日か見つかるはず

一番大切なことは　特別なことではなく
ありふれた日々の中で　君を
今の気持ちのままで　見つめていること

君にまだ　言葉にして　伝えてないことがあるんだ
それは　ずっと出会った日から　君を愛しているということ

君は空を見てるか　風の音を聞いてるか
もう二度とここへは戻れない
でもそれを哀しいと　決して思わないで

一番大切なことは　特別なことではなく
ありふれた日々の中で　君を
今の気持ちのままで　見つめていること

忘れないで　どんなときも　きっとそばにいるから
そのために僕らは　この場所で
同じ風に吹かれて　同じときを生きてるんだ

どんなときも　きっとそばにいるから
