[Rurouni Kenshin] Namida wa Shitteiru (Your Tears Know) by Suzukaze Mayo

I love love love this song and full disclosure?! I maybe wept a little at some point while working on this because it just spoke to me. Sigh. My tears know. LOL. And the singer is the voice actress for Kenshin, so that's pretty amazing!

Kanji Romaji English

君が涙に揺れる時
どうすればいいんだろう
空を見上げても
心が　痛い

傷つかなくていいコトに
誰もが触れてしまう
水の冷たさに
おどろく　時の様に

隣にいるだけで
何もできないけど
ありったけの　笑顔　君だけに
抱えて　贈るよ　どんな時も

信じていいよ　夢はやって来る
君のためだけに
泣いてもいいよ　どんな哀しみも
翼に変わるのさ　その胸で

誰かを守ることなんて
簡単にできないね
君に降る雨も
止められ　ないよ

だけどあきらめたくはない
ちっぽけな勇気でも
いつか　本当の
強さに　なれるならば

小さな蝶でさえ
海を越えてゆける
“いつか　きっと"　そんな言葉しか
言えない自分が　くやしいけど

信じていいよ　虹はやって来る
君のつま先へ
信じていいよ　君の時が来る
もうすぐ新しい　風の中

そうさ　かならず夢はやって来る
その腕を　拡げ
きっと　涙はそれを知っている
教えに来たんだよ　明日から

信じていいよ　夢はやって来る
君のためだけに
泣いてもいいよ　どんな哀しみも
翼に変わるのさ　その胸で

What should I do
At times when you're shaken by tears?
Even if I look up at the sky
My heart hurts

No one wants to be hurt
But everyone's felt it at some point
It's like a shock
Of cold water

If I just stay by your side
I won't be able to do anything, but
This smile is all I have
And I'll hold on it and send it to you whenever

You can believe　That dreams will come true
Just for you
You can cry　Whatever kind of sadness you feel
It will become your wings　Within your heart

It isn't an easy thing
To protect somebody
And I can't stop
Rain from falling on you

But I'm not saying I'm giving up
With even just a bit of courage
Can turn into real strength
Someday

Even the tiniest butterflies
Can fly over the sea
Though I admit it's frustrating
To be someone who can only say, "Someday, for sure"

You can believe　A rainbow is coming to you
Right there at your toes
You can believe　Your time is coming
It's coming soon with the winds of change

That's right　There's no doubt your dreams will come true
So open up your arms for it
And for sure　Your tears know that
They've come to let you know　From the future

You can believe　That dreams will come true
Just for you
You can cry　Whatever kind of sadness you feel
It will become your wings　Within your heart
