A droplet fell into the puddle

世界は波打ち歪んで見えた

The world appeared distorted, rippling

大事なものすら曇り空

Even the important things are clouded

Shadows hidden, looking down

綺麗に花は咲いていて

The flowers bloom beautifully

枯れてしまわぬように

So they won't wither away

When this song flows

空がなくあなたが笑えるように 風が歌うあなたに聞こえるように

So the sky is gone and you can smile - so the wind can sing and you can hear it

Faintly, fragile, yet strong

Now I sing - just, just to reach you

A rainbow appears and connects

Before saying goodbye, I look back and say

振り返るのお空で 幸せに暮らしますって

Looking back at the sky - I will live happily

見上げて 涙を流すのは

Looking up, shedding tears

ここで生きたいの

I want to live here

あなたとの幸せを諦めてないから
