[English]

Before dawn, the fierce wind, is it a warning?

My heart, built with lies, is falling apart.

Though I promised not to cry, the sudden downpour won't stop.

It’s because I suddenly heard your voice.

Even as only unrevealed things increase,

My feelings haven't disappeared.

On the falling meteor shower, I make a wish.

And send it toward your tomorrow.

I won't say “we'll meet again someday.”

So I can move forward without looking back.

That future I’ve always wanted to realize,

Maybe it’s tonight. Now, with the held hand,

I grip it tightly, under the same sky.

...

On days we clash, it feels further away than anyone else.

The “sorry” in my pocket, I can't take it out.

Though I’ve only been clumsily swinging around,

You’ve always been by my side.

Searching forever for a substitute for “goodbye,”

The distant sky blurs.

Holding in my heart the fallen meteor shower,

I send a cheer to you.

No matter how deep into the forest I get lost,

My smile is right nearby.

A hidden surprise in each day can change you greatly.

A shining diamond, so one in my heart, so I won't forget.

Even if the world changes color and I forget the way home,

I have to go.

...

On the falling meteor shower, I make a wish.

And send it toward your tomorrow.

No matter how far apart we are, our bond can still be felt.

We can become even stronger.

I believe—we can make miracles happen.

Gently releasing the held hand now.

Under the same sky.

You are not alone.

...

[Japanese]

夜明け前 吹き荒れた風は何の前触れ？

嘘で固めたハートはがれ落ちてく

泣かないと約束したのに止まらないスコール

君の声が不意に聞こえたせいさ

見つからないものばかりが増えていっても

この想いは失くしていないよ

降り出した流星群に願いを積んで

君の明日へ放つ

「いつかまた会える」って言わないよ

振り向かず行けるように

ずっと叶えたかったその未来って

今夜かもしれない つながった手を今

強く握った 同じ空の下

ぶつかり合った日は誰より遠くに感じて

ポケットの「ごめんね」が 取り出せないまま

不器用に振り回してばかりだったのに

君はいつも隣にいてくれたね

「さよなら」の代わりをずっと

探してるの 遠い空が滲んでゆく

過ぎ去った流星群を胸に抱いて

僕はエールを送る

どんな深い森に迷ったって

笑顔がすぐそばにあった

毎日にひそんだサプライズが 君を大きく変える

輝くダイヤモンド 心にひとつ 忘れないように

もし世界が色を変えて 帰り道がわからなくても

行かなくちゃ

降り出した流星群に願いを積んで

君の明日へ放つ

どんな離れてたって感じ合える絆が僕らにはあるさ

もっと強くなれる

信じてる 奇跡だって起こせる

つながった手を 今そっと離した

同じ空の下

君はひとりじゃない
