見上げた先には燕が飛んでいた 気のない顔で Above, swallows were flying by, with a face that showed no interest. 00:16
もしもわたしに翼があれば 願う度に悲しみに暮れた If only I had wings, every time I wished, I would be overwhelmed with sadness. 00:23
さよなら100年先でまた会いましょう 心配しないで Goodbye, see you again in a hundred years. Don’t worry about it. 00:32

したり顔で 触らないで 背中を殴りつける的外れ With a smug look, don’t touch me—hitting my back in vain, missing the mark. 01:57
人が宣う地獄の先にこそ わたしは春を見る Exactly at the edge of hell, where people proclaim, that’s where I see spring. 02:04
誰かを愛したくて でも痛くて いつしか雨霰 I want to love someone, but it hurts—suddenly, it rains down in shrapnel. 02:15
