JAPANESE LYRICS

Habataitara modoranai to itte
Mezashita no wa aoi aoi ano sora
Kanashimi wa mada oboerarezu
Setsunasa wa ima tsukami hajimeta
Anata he to idaku kono kanjou mo
Ima kotoba ni kawatteiku
Michinaru sekai no yume kara mezamete
Kono hane wo hiroge tobitatsu
Habataitara modoranai to itte
Mezashita no wa shiroi shiroi ano kumo
Tsukinuketara mitsukaru to shitte
Furikiru hodo aoi aoi ano sora
Aoi aoi ano sora
Aoi aoi ano sora

Aisozukita you na oto de sabireta furui mado wa kowareta
Miakita kago wa hora suteteiku furikaeru koto wa mou nai
Takanaru kodou ni kokyuu wo azukete
Kono mado wo kette tobitatsu
Kakedashitara te ni dekiru to itte
Izanau no wa tooi tooi ano koe
Mabushii sugita anata no te mo nigitte
Motomeru hodo aoi aoi ano sora

Ochiteiku to
wakatteita

hikari wo oi tsuzuketeiku yo

Habataitara modoranai to itte
Sagashita no wa shiroi shiroi ano kumo
Tsukinuketara mitsukaru to shitte
Furikiru hodo aoi aoi ano sora
aoi aoi ano sora
aoi aoi ano sora

English Translation

You said if you could fly, you’d never come back down.
You only have eyes for that blue, blue sky.
You’ve yet to learn what sadness is,
and are just now grasping what pain is like.
Even the feelings I have for you
must be expressed with words.
As you awake from a dream into an unknown world,
spread your wings, and take flight!
You said if you could fly, you’d never come back down.
You only have eyes for that white, white cloud
You know if you can just make it through, you’ll find what you seek.
So keep trying to break free, to that blue, blue sky.
To that blue, blue sky.
To that blue, blue sky!
The Old Window that was able to rust with such sound, had ran out, amiability broke
Already there is no time to see the house, and others keep throwing away the basket which grows tired looking back.
High in the beat, which breath sounds resonance, yours alone.
Kicking this window, fly away
When it runs out, saying that it can make the hand,
Now then the voice, distant, distant, thats where you are.
Grasping your hand, too dazzling it be.
The extent which you expect, to that blue, blue sky
You know that it keeps falling,
even though,
it keeps continuing,
to chase the light.
You said if you could fly, you’d never come back down.
You only have eyes for that white, white cloud.
You know if you can just make it through, you’ll find what you seek.
So keep trying to break free, to that blue, blue sky.
To that blue, blue sky.
To that blue, blue sky!
