Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

飛翔いたら 戻らないと言って

If I take flight, I say I won't come back

目指したのは 蒼い 蒼い あの空

My goal was that deep, deep blue sky

...

...

"悲しみ"はまだ覚えられず

"Sadness" is still hard to remember

"切なさ"は今つかみはじめた

"Loneliness" I've just begun to grasp

あなたへと抱く この感情も

This feeling I hold for you

今"言葉"に変わっていく

Is now transforming into words

未知なる世界の 遊迷から目覚めて

Awakened from the unknown world's wanderings

この羽根を広げ 飛び立つ

Spread these wings and take flight

飛翔いたら 戻らないと言って

If I take flight, I say I won't come back

探したのは 白い 白い あの雲

The thing I was searching for was that white, white cloud

突き抜けたら みつかると知って

Knowing that if I break through, I’ll find it

振り切るほど 蒼い 蒼い あの空

To the point of breaking away, that deep, deep blue sky

...

...

蒼い 蒼い あの空

That deep, deep blue sky

蒼い 蒼い あの空

That deep, deep blue sky

...

...

愛想尽きたような音で

With a sound as if love has run out

錆びれた古い窓は壊れた

The rusty old window is broken

見飽きたカゴは ほら捨てていく

The cage I've grown tired of, I throw it away

振り返ることはもうない

There’s no more looking back

高鳴る鼓動に 呼吸を共鳴けて

Let’s share this pounding heartbeat and breathe together

この窓を蹴って 飛び立つ

Kick open this window and take off

駆け出したら 手にできると言って

When I run out, I say I can reach it

いざなうのは 遠い 遠い あの声

The one guiding me is that distant, distant voice

眩しすぎた あなたの手も握って

Even holding your hand was too bright

求めるほど 蒼い 蒼い あの空

The more I seek, that deep, deep blue sky

...

...

墜ちていくと わかっていた

I knew I was going to fall

それでも 光を追い続けていくよ

But still, I keep chasing the light

飛翔いたら 戻れないと言って

If I take flight, I say I won't come back

探したのは 白い 白い あの雲

The thing I was searching for was that white, white cloud

突き抜けたら みつかると知って

Knowing that if I break through, I’ll find it

振り切るほど 蒼い 蒼い あの空

To the point of breaking away, that deep, deep blue sky

蒼い 蒼い あの空

That deep, deep blue sky

蒼い 蒼い あの空

That deep, deep blue sky

...
