Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

夕焼け　さよなら

Goodbye to the sunset

淋しい声が木霊して咲く

A lonely voice echoes and blooms

今昔　人は詠うように祈り捧ぐ奏で

Now and then, people pray as if they are singing

雨降る街　ゆらりゆらり　濡れる心

In the rain-soaked town, swaying gently, a wet heart

わたしは今　きみと笑い合いたい

Right now, I want to laugh with you

朝を待った　捲るカレンダー

I waited for the morning, flipping the calendar

明日には涙も止まる

By tomorrow, the tears will stop

何度も言った　“自由になれば救われるの？”

I asked many times, "Will I be saved if I become free?"

とこしえ　さよなら

Eternally, goodbye

後ろ髪を引かれて進む

Pulled back by my hair, I move forward

歩みは止めない

I won't stop walking

月明かり照らす場所へ

To the place illuminated by the moonlight

瞬きする度に変わる世界　くらり

With every blink, the world changes, darkly

時が長く経てば　水泡となって

As time passes, it becomes bubbles

雲の間に間に　青が晴れていく

Between the clouds, the blue clears up

光差す部屋　いつかみた景色

A room where light shines, a scenery I once saw

朝を待った　募る不安が溢れ出す夜に隠れた

I waited for the morning, hidden in the night overflowing with growing anxiety

胸に或る過去の琥珀　灯す

Lighting up the amber of the past in my heart

夢をみていたの　“こわいことはなんにもないよ”

I was dreaming, "There's nothing to be afraid of"

夢を縫い紡ぐ　もう戻らなくちゃ　生きる場所へ

Weaving dreams, I must return to the place where I live

いにしえ　さよなら

Ancient times, goodbye

またはじめる　地面を蹴って

Starting again, kicking the ground

きみと手繋いで

Holding your hand

絆結びゆく旅の途中　続く　続く

On the journey where bonds are tied, it continues, it continues
