[English]

I've been searching for a long time

Where does love get lost?

Endless nights of losing battles

Unjust things keep happening

Life trembles and roars

In chaotic times, I fall in love

No matter how many times sadness defeats the world

Your graceful blade dances

Clearing the path for dreams to come true

I want to love and laugh

I want to protect all the kind-hearted people

If I wish, I can reach it, for sure

Your voice is calling me

Soon, a sunrise like a dream will light up the sky

I ran toward the waving flag

Longing for the beautiful world

Once I lost sight of it

Thoughts circle around again and again

Still unable to reach that peak

The wind stirs

Everything you did and said

Still shines deep within my mind

No matter what kind of life you choose

It's the path you decided

With honest eyes

You sing the admiration you've just found

Beyond the waving flag

Go

I want to love, I want to smile

To protect all the gentle people

Surely, I am strong

Tearing through nights of sadness and pain

Bringing the dawn

Now, trust me

We can always sail through the cruel ocean

From where life begins

In the voice of prayer alone

There are things I still don't know

In the beautiful world

Longing for it

I call the elemental name of love...

[Japanese]

ずっと探していたんだ

愛は何処で迷って

散々打ち負かした夜に終わりは無くて

不条理がまかり通る

命が震え騒ぐ

混沌 こんな時代に恋に落ちて

悲しみが世界を何度打ち負かしても

しなやかに舞う君の刃が

夢が通る道を拓く

愛し合って笑いたいな

優しいひとたちを全部守りたいな

届くんだ望めばきっと

君の声が僕を呼んで

やがて夢のような朝焼けが空を焼く

ひるがえる旗の向こうへ走り出した

美しい世界に恋い焦がれて

一度見失った

想いが巡り巡る

まだ届かないあの天辺で

風が騒ぐ

everything you did and said

is still shining deeply in my mind

どんな生き方だって

君の選んだ道

飾らない瞳で

君は初めて見つけた憧れを歌う

ひるがえる旗の向こうへ　

行け

愛したいな　笑いたいな

優しいひとたちを全部守るために

強いんだ私はきっと

悲しくって苦しかった夜を切り裂いて

朝焼けを連れてくる

now trust me

we can always sail through the cruel ocean

from where life has begun

祈る声の中だけにある

まだ知らない　

美しい世界に

恋い焦がれて

I call the elemental name of love...
