[English]

I wanted you to tell me it's okay,

Hiding the part of me that wasn't okay, oh

The days when I smiled like the sun,

I wonder what they look like beyond the clouds.

So that you can truly be yourself,

I wonder what I can do.

We, who are so small, almost fading away,

As the pain in our hearts spills out,

It's okay to cry.

Because the sky is crying too.

Even on rainy days,

For someone,

They'll surely turn into comforting tears.

It's okay to make mistakes, it's okay to be unstable.

Someday, someday, the sun will show its face.

Even on sunny days,

Waiting for you, waiting,

You're probably worrying beyond the clouds.

No sky stays the same. It's okay.

Keep crying and laughing, just one more step.

Unable to say thank you, unable to say it,

Covering it up with 'I'm sorry', oh

Looked down upon by the carefree clouds,

Oh well, if you want to laugh, go ahead.

Even the worst day today, yeah,

Will just flow by and disappear, ayy.

Before the storm, hey. Eye of the typhoon, hey.

Chaos and stillness are back-to-back, hey.

Even if you end up alone in a faraway place,

If you look from beyond the universe, we're right next to each other.

We are under the same sky

Even on rainy days, even on rainy days,

For someone, every cloud has a silver lining.

They'll become comforting, comforting tears, they'll change, they'll change.

It's okay to make mistakes, it's okay to be unstable.

Someday, someday, the sun will show its face, show its face.

Even on sunny days, on sunny days,

Waiting for you, for you,

You're probably smiling beyond the clouds.

No sky stays the same. It's okay.

Keep crying and laughing, laughing, let's take one more step, one more step.

You're not alone. One more step.

Even on rainy days,

Every cloud has a silver lining.

Even on sunny days,

We are under the same shining sky, even on sunny days.

Even on rainy days,

Every cloud has a silver lining, even on rainy days.

Even on sunny days,

We are under the same shining sky.

[Japanese]

大丈夫だって言って欲しくて

大丈夫じゃない自分を隠して oh

太陽みたいに笑えた日々は

雲の向こうでどんな顔かな

君が君で在れるように

僕は何ができるのかな

ちっぽけで消えそうな僕ら

胸の痛みがこぼれていくまま

泣いてもいい

空も泣いてるから

雨の日だって

誰かにとって

寄り添う涙に変わるんだろう

間違えたっていい 不安定なままでいい

いつか いつか太陽も顔を出すから

晴れの日だって

あなたを待って 待って

雲の向こうで悩んでるんだろう

変わらない空はない 大丈夫

ずっと 泣いて笑ってあと一歩

ありがとうが言えなくて 言えなくて

ごめんねで塗り固めて oh

マイペースな雲に見下され

まぁいいか 笑いたきゃ笑え

最低な今日だって yeah

流れて消えて行くだけ ayy

嵐の前 hey 台風の目 hey

波乱と静けさは背中合わせ hey

もしも遠い所で一人ぼっちになっても

宇宙の向こうから見てみれば隣同士

We are under the same sky

雨の日だって 雨の日でも

誰かにとって every cloud has a silver lining

寄り添う 寄り添う 涙に変わるんだろう 変わるんだろう

間違えたっていい 不安定なままでいい

いつか いつか太陽も顔を出すから 出すから

晴れの日だって 晴れの日

あなたを待って あなたに

雲の向こうで笑ってるんだろう

変わらない空はない 大丈夫

ずっと 泣いて笑って 笑って あと一歩進もう 進もう

一人じゃない もう一歩

雨の日でも

Every cloud has a silver lining

晴れの日でも

We are under the same shining 晴れの日でも

雨の日でも

Every cloud has a silver lining 雨の日でも

晴れの日でも

We are under the same shining
