Let's go and walk.

We can be reborn inside of the light! summer dream.


Always - Itsudemo/Itsumo/Itsudatte/Zutto/Taemanai

zutto is also another variation of 'always' it is mostly paired with verbs.
with a positive verb it means 'always'. with a negative verb it means 'never'.

Taemanai is also a varitation of 'always' but more in the sense of 'forever', or 'continuosly/constantly'


Heart - Kokoro/Shinzou/Mune

but 'Shinzou' is used more among doctors and when reguarding medical terms.

and 'Mune' is more so of the 'Chest', but it can also be used to imply one's 'heart'.


Itsudatte soba ni iru yo
kimi wa tomodachi de
tayori ni nareru hito
...

Notice: i used 'itsudatte' instead of 'itsudemo' or 'itsumo'
only because it sounds like a lesser informal situation.
and the 'de' in the middle of the last two sentences is just a connecter.


Note: 'Tayori ni nareru hito' dosent acutally mean 'guardian angel' its more literally meaning 'a person that can be relied on'. which i think is a more natural* equivalent, than the actual words. and 'Mikata' can also be used as an equivalent to 'guardian angel'
but the more literally meaning is a 'supporter'. dont get it confused with its unrelated meanings such as 'one's view point' or 'way of seeing'.

"Dokomademo" means something like "through thick and thin" or "no matter what"

"hitotsu" is "one" or "single". It's a counter word meaning "one ___", but not like the number one by itself.

"todoke" is tricky to give a definition for... it literally means "to send", but it's often used figuratively, like for feelings or words you want someone to know but can't tell them.

It's helpful to know Kanji for things like "Hitotsu". Here's the kanji and (Romanji :( ) readings for the numbers 1 through 10, which you really should know if you hope to have a hope of studying the language seriously:

一 (one, "ichi" or "hito" for "hitotsu")
二 (two, "ni" or "futa" for "futatsu")
三 (three, "san" or "mit" for "mittsu")
四 (four, "yon", "shi", or "yot" for "yottsu")
五 (five, "go" or "itsu" for "itsutsu")
六 (six, "roku" or "mut" for "muttsu")
七 (seven, "shichi", "nana", or "nana" for "nanatsu")
八 (eight, "hachi" or "yat" for "yattsu")
九 (nine, "ku", "kyu", or "kokono" for "kokonotsu")
十 (ten, "juu" or "too")

Note that Japanese has different words for raw numbers or for counting things. For example, if you want to say "one plus one is two", you would use "ichi" and "ni". However, if you want to say "There are two apples there", you would use "futatsu". The ~tsu ending words are for counting, the ones without ~tsu are for math. Note that the kanji for 7 is "nana" for both counting and math.

"Todoke" is, I believe, the impolite ordering form (the equivalent of making a request without using "please") of the verb "todoku". Sez my dictionary, "Todoku" is "arrive", "reach", "come", "carry", or "get at" (in order of how it's commonly used).
