[English]

On the circular line where breath fades away

Under the dark sky with faded stars

Before I knew it, I was searching for

My true self and a recipe for living, right?

The forgotten beauty

Let's go retrieve it, the weary dream

Like when I buried it in the sand as a child

Ten years later, I'll dedicate this song to myself

Laugh, cry, sing, become a flower

Bloom proudly, someday, overflowing with light

Even if it's frustrating, I'll surely embrace it

Without worrying about the future

Countless times, over and over

I called your name

I wonder if you're smiling somewhere

Our voices released into the night sky

Fade away in the noise

Gently wrapping us up

Tired of the repetitive days

Shall we shine brilliantly instead?

More than an eternally blooming dried flower, we

Shall become cherry blossoms, fervently scattering

Laugh, cry, sing, become a flower

Bloom proudly, someday, overflowing with light

Even if it's frustrating, I'll surely embrace it

Without worrying about the future

Countless times, over and over

I called your name

The warmth that remains in my palm

The vow we made back then

Fades away in the noise

I stand still in the town where I was with you

Before I knew it, I became afraid of getting hurt

Still in bud

Always searching for a place where light shines

Surely tomorrow too

How far do I have to go to laugh together?

Is freedom, hope, and dreams as wonderful

As I think? Are they shining?

The future in my heart

Countless times, over and over

I called your name

I wonder if you're smiling somewhere

Our voices released into the night sky

Fade away in the noise

Gently wrapping us up

...

[Japanese]

息も絶える環状線沿いで

色褪せた星と 闇空の下

いつのまに僕は 自分らしさと

生き方のレシピ 探しているんだろう?

素晴らしさという忘れ物

取り戻しに行こう くたびれた夢

幼少の頃 砂に埋めた様に

十年後僕に この歌を捧げよう

笑って泣いて歌って 花になれ

咲き誇れ いつか 光溢れ

歯痒くても きっと 受け止めるよ

未来は気にせずに

数えきれないほど 何度も

君の名を呼んだ

何処かで微笑んでるかな

夜空に放った 僕らの

声は喧噪の中 消えて

優しく僕らを包んでゆく

繰り返しの日々が嫌んなって

いっそ華麗に 輝いてみようか

永遠に咲くドライフラワーよりも僕らは

散りゆくとも 一心不乱な桜になろう

笑って泣いて歌って 花になれ

咲き誇れ いつか 光溢れ

歯痒くても きっと 受け止めるよ

未来は気にせずに

数えきれないほど 何度も

君の名を呼んだ

手のひらに残る温もり

あの時 誓った 僕らの

声は喧噪の中 消えて

君といた街に 立ちすくむよ

いつのまにか 傷つく事が怖くなって

まだ蕾(つぼみ)のまま

光の射す場所を ずっと探してる

明日もきっと

何処まで行けば 笑いあえるの?

自由や希望や夢は 僕が思うほど

素晴らしいかな?輝いているのかな?

未来をこの胸に

数えきれないほど 何度も

君の名を呼んだ

何処かで微笑んでるかな

夜空に放った 僕らの

声は喧噪の中 消えて

優しく僕らを包んでゆく
