Time

hisoka ni atta 
ano hi futari ni nin 
kanawanu koi to 
shittete mo 

shigusa no ura ni

kotoba no imi ga 
omosugite 

toki ga modosetanaraba 
aishiau koto sae mo 
omoi no mama ni 

nidoto au no wa 
yame ni shiyō to 
kokoro osaete

yoru ga aketeyuku 
wakare no toki ga kuru 
kurushī hodo ni 
anata o boku wa

nidoto au no wa

omoi no mama ni 
toki ga modosetanaraba 
aishiau koto sae mo 
omoi no mama ni

Rough Translation
disclaimer: Not terribly accurate. I just mainly used online translators and dictionaries and tried to make sense of the individual phrases

Two people met
secretly that day
Even if we know
this love cannot pass

The gesture is hidden
The meaning of the word 
is too heavy

If time can be undone
And just love
as we wish

I'll never see you again
I'm trying to stop it
Keep it in my heart
Goodbye

The dawn is breaking
The time for parting comes
This is painful
You and I
Hug and embrace

I'll never see you again
I'm trying to stop it
Keep it in my heart
Goodbye

If time can be undone
And just love
as we wish
If time can be undone
And just love
as we wish

Kanji:

秘か  に  会った  
あの  日  の  二  人  
かなわぬ  恋  と  
知ってて  も  

しぐさ  の  裏  に  
隠されている  
言葉  の  意味  が  
重すぎて  

時  が  戻せたならば  
愛し合う  事  さえ  も  
思い  の  まま  に  

二度と  会う  の  は  
やめ  に  しよう  と  
心  おさえて  
さよなら  を  

夜  が  明けてゆく  
別れ  の  時  が  来る  
苦しい  ほど  に  
あなた  を  僕  は  
抱きしめる  
抱きしめる  
抱きしめる  …  

二度と  会う  の  は  
やめ  に  しよう  と  
心  おさえて  
さよなら  を  

時  が  戻せたならば  
愛し合う  事  さえ  も  
思い  の  まま  に  
時  が  戻せたならば  
愛し合う  事  さえ  も  
思い  の  まま  に  

I used a different converter this time, Nihongo J-talk changed their converter recently, which is actually more helpful if you're trying to learn Japanese because it breaks down each word cleary, but shit if you just need a quick kanji - romaji translator.
Anyway, I used this converter this time:
