Romaji:

Minna anata ga akogare deshita
Nani mo shiranai imouto ni
Kotobadzukai ya tachifurumai wo
Itsumo oshiete kureta hito

Kono yo wa ukiyoe yume ka maboroshi
Rin to tatazumu senpai deshita
Sena de sayonara mikaeri bijin
Aa aa mottainai yo ii onna

Koi ni tokimeku toshigoro dakedo
Ase to namida de kagayake to
Kagami aite ni butai no keiko
Isseichidai adesugata

Kono yo wa ukiyoe yume ka maboroshi
Senryou yakusha no senpai deshita
Iki ni sayonara mikaeri bijin
Aa aa mottainai yo ii onna

Kono yo wa ukiyoe yume ka maboroshi
Rin to tatazumu senpai deshita
Sena de sayonara mikaeri bijin
Aa aa mottainai yo ii onna

English:

You were everyone’s idol
Your sister knew nothing
About how to talk, how to act
You were the one who always taught her

Life is like a painting, a dream or an illusion
She was a cool senior who stands tall and still
Turning her back to say goodbye, she’s a turning back beauty
Ah ah, we will miss you, a beautiful lady

I’m at the age where I dream of falling in love
Shine with sweat and tears
Practicing a play in front of the mirror
Once in a life time, an elegant figure

Life is like a painting, a dream or an illusion
She was a great actress
Being so cool to say goodbye, she’s a turning back beauty
Ah ah, we will miss you, a beautiful lady

Life is like a painting, a dream or an illusion
She was a cool senior who stands tall and still
Turning her back to say goodbye, she’s a turning back beauty
Ah ah, we will miss you, a beautiful lady

Japanese:

みんな あなたが あこがれでした
何も 知らない 妹に
言葉づかいや 立ち振る舞いを
いつも教えて くれた人

この世は浮世絵 夢か幻
凛とたたずむ 先輩でした
背中 で さよなら 見返り美人
ああ ああ もったいないよ いい女

恋に ときめく 年頃だけど
汗と 涙で 輝けと
鏡相手に舞台の稽古
一世一代 艶姿

この世は浮世絵 夢か幻
千両役者の 先輩でした
粋に さよなら 見返り美人
ああ ああ もったいないよ いい女

この世は浮世絵 夢か幻
凛とたたずむ 先輩でした
背中 で さよなら 見返り美人
ああ ああ もったいないよ いい女
