[English]

That wind, that wind

You said it feels nostalgic

Nostalgic

My heart has become transparent

Mountain shadows, clear and bright

The wind rose up, like a storm

I didn’t know you would sing

I want to forget, I want to forget

I said, let’s try to forget

Forgotten

I didn’t know you were sunlight

Waves and wind, clear and bright

Like the sea is the only one

I didn’t know I was alone too

If I sing “lonely”, spring will come

The wind blows, I am a solitary warrior

Open your mouth wide

A warrior groans, lonely

Someone said your heart is cold

Oh! I didn’t know my heart could grow cold

Sunset, clear and bright

The wind rose, like trees standing tall

I didn’t know you were alone too

If I say I’m lonely, let my chest be torn open

Now, I am a solitary warrior

Open your mouth wide

Warrior dashing, carried by the wind

If I sing “lonely”, spring will come

The wind blows, I am a solitary warrior

Open your mouth wide

Me and the warrior, blowing in the wind

You said your heart, your heart was rippling

Ah, I didn’t know my heart was an ocean

Mountain shadows, clear and bright

The wind rose up, like a storm

I didn’t know you would laugh

[Japanese]

あの風 あの風

懐かしいとお前が言った

懐かしい

私の心が透けてしまった

山影 晴れ晴れ

風が立った 嵐のように

お前が歌うとは知らなかった

忘れたい 忘れたい

忘れようと私が言った

忘れた

お前が日差しとは知らなかった

波風 晴れ晴れ

海がたった一つのように

私も一人とは知らなかった

寂しいと歌えば春よ

風を吹く、おれはひとりの修羅なのだ

大きな口を開けろ

寂しいとうめく修羅

あなたの心は冷たいと誰かが言った

まぁ！心が冷えるとは知らなかった

夕焼け 晴れ晴れ

風が立った 木立のように

お前も一人とは知らなかった

寂しいと私の胸よ裂けろ

今、おれはひとりの修羅なのだ

大きな口を開けろ

風を受け、走る修羅

寂しいと歌えば春よ

風を吹く、おれはひとりの修羅なのだ

大きな口を開けろ

風を吹くおれと修羅

心が 心が波打つとお前が言った

あぁ、心が海だとは知らなかった

山影 晴れ晴れ

風が立った 嵐のように

お前が笑うとは知らなかった
