tobu tori no sora wo miage nekoronda nohara
yawarakai hizashi ga hoho wo terashiteru
Look at the sky with the soaring bird while lying down on the field
The tender sunlight is shining on your face
midori no umi no sazanami mimi wo sumashite
yuruyaka ni nagareru toki ni mi wo makase
Clear your ears to hear the ripples in the green sea
And entrust yourself to the lazy flow of time
me wo tojite fukaku iki wo hakidashite
odayaka ni naru kokoro
kokyou wa itsudemo watashi ni
yawarakai jikan wo kureru
Close your eyes and take a deep breath
Let your heart be light
This home town always gives me such tender time...
onaji sora no shita de keredo tooku hanareteru
ima hitorikiri no machi sugosu hibi wa
We are all under the same sky, but you've gone so far away
Now I'm all alone in this town with each passing day
kibou to yume to fuan to soshite samishisa ga
karamatte tama ni namida nagasu keredo
All the hope, dreams, and anxiety make me lonely
Tears are flowing in this entwined soul
osanai hi yume ni egaita mirai ni
kanarazu deau tame ni
sore made wa ima kono machi de
jibun wo shinjite susumou
In those childish days, I had a dream of the future
For it to surely come true one day
Now in this town, I have to keep believing in myself
mihatenu yume wo motometeru
I'm pursuing that unfulfilled dream...

ame ga agatta asa ni wa
sukoshi dake hayaoki shite
shizuku ga kirameku kono michi wo
kimi ni misetakute mukae ni yuku
The rain has let up, this morning I got up just a little earlier than usual
I want to show you the twinkling drops of water on this road, so I'm going to visit you
sukoshi nemusou na kimi to
aruki hajimeta sakamichi
me ga au to sugu ni shita muite
doushite ii no ka wakarazu ni damaru
I'm now walking on the same hillroad with you, who looks half asleep
Just as our eyes meet, you look down
I don't understand why and just keep silent
hajimatta bakari no
watashitachi no koi wo
madamada kakkou warukute
hito ni hanasenai
We've only just begun
Our love shouldn't be in bad form yet
I can't tell others about this
sukoshi fukure tsura no
watashi ni kizuite ka
kimi ga sashidashita migite
nigiri arukidasu
You realized my slightly sulky face?
You just held out your right hand
And now we are walking together, hand in hand
futari no hohaba ga awazu
tama ni oitsukenakunaru
mada katta bakari no kutsu dakara
ashi ni awanakute nigawarai
Our steps don't match, I'm not going to be able to catch up with you
I've just bought a new pair of shoes but you haven't looked, that's why I'm smiling bitterly
mizutamari ni utsuru sora
watagumo ga kiete yuku ne
konna odayaka na hirusagari
kimi to deawanakya shiranakatta
kitto
The puddle is reflecting the sky
The fleecy clouds are disappearing, aren't they?
This gentle afternoon, I don't know if I'll have to meet you
Surely
tsunaida kimi no te ga
totemo atatakakute
zutto hanashitakunakute
sukoshi toomawari
Your holding hand is so warm that I never want to let go of it
So I'm taking just a little detour...
tokubetsu na kotoba wa
mada hitsuyou ja nai
ima wa tonari de hohoemu
kimi ga ireba ii
The special words are not needed yet
For now, just smile when we are still neighbors
It's fine if you are here...

kaerinasai
koe no todoku haha no moto e
sosogu hitomi ni mamorareta mahe
sariyuku kaze ni fukarete
Please come home
To where your mother is calling
You who were watched by those dried-up eyes
Let the passing wind carry you
nemurinasai
kodou hibiku mune no naka de
fureru nukumori tsutsumareta mahe
ashita no yume mo wasurete
Please go to sleep
In the throbbing sound of your heart
You who were enveloped by that wave of warmth
Forget even tomorrow's dream
nagashita inochi no hate ni
dorehodo mitsumete mo
mou mou modoranai
subete no daichi kara
kieyuku sora ni inori wo sasagu
yasashiki hoshi wo shinjite
At the end of the stream of life
No matter how much you look at it
It will not be back again, no more
From this vast motherland
Just leave a prayer to the vanishing sky
And believe in the gentle star...
mezameta yakusoku no asa ni
hanarete hitori yuku
mou mou modorenai
subete wo wasurete mo
sonna wakare wo yurushite hoshii
uketsugu toki wo musunde
In the morning of an awakened promise
You are leaving on your own
You cannot return anymore, no more
Even when you have forgotten all that much
If you still wish to let go of this farewell
Just come into the changing course of time
oikinasai
tooku tooku
oikinasai
haruka haruka
Please go
Far away, far away
Please go
Far away, far away...
