[English]

You are like the wind

Closing my eyes at sunset

I wonder what you're thinking

I kept my eyes open

Your eyes are like glass

Just a little scent of clear sky

Sunny and bright, let the flowers bloom

Because they bloom in the clear sky

Even rain that falls and stops

Decorates you with clear skies

The sound that strikes my chest, calm down

We are the spring breeze

Overcoming that cloud too

Going far, still far away

You are like the sunshine

Closing my eyes at blue sky

I wonder what makes you sad

I keep my eyes open

Your eyes are like glass

Now I sense the smell of rain a little

Cry and cry, sky, cry too

Crying because of the rain

Even the pouring rain

Is clear above the clouds

The sound of hitting the ground, ring out

We are the wild spring

Overcoming that sea too

Traveling far, still far away

A passing shower, rustling the grass

Sheep clouds, that’s also spring’s fault

Like the wind, spring rides in my heart

Waiting for the clear sky

Sunny and bright, skies, split open

Splitting open because of spring

Even rain that stops falling

Decorates you with clear skies

Playing the heart-touching sound

We are the spring breeze

Listening to the wind of the clear sky

Come on, this song, calm down!

Sunny and bright, flowers, bloom

Blooming because of spring

Overcoming that cloud too

Traveling far, still far away

[Japanese]

貴方は風のように

目を閉じては夕暮れ

何を思っているんだろうか

目蓋を開いていた

貴方の目はビイドロ

少しだけ晴るの匂いがした

晴れに晴れ、花よ咲け

咲いて晴るのせい

降り止めば雨でさえ

貴方を飾る晴る

胸を打つ音よ凪げ

僕ら晴る風

あの雲も越えてゆけ

遠くまだ遠くまで

貴方は晴れ模様に

目を閉じては青色

何が悲しいのだろうか

目蓋を開いている

貴方の目にビイドロ

今少し雨の匂いがした

泣きに泣け、空よ泣け

泣いて雨のせい

降り頻る雨でさえ

雲の上では晴る

土を打つ音よ鳴れ

僕ら春荒れ

あの海も越えてゆく

遠くまだ遠くまで

通り雨　草を靡かせ

羊雲　あれも春のせい

風のよう　胸に春乗せ

晴るを待つ

晴れに晴れ、空よ裂け

裂いて春のせい

降り止めば雨でさえ

貴方を飾る晴る

胸を打つ音奏で

僕ら春風

音に聞く晴るの風

さぁこの歌よ凪げ！

晴れに晴れ、花よ咲け

咲いて春のせい

あの雲も越えてゆけ

遠くまだ遠くまで
