[English]

The miracle of meeting under this sky

I'll go to meet you beyond the rainbow I looked up at

Until this voice reaches you

I will keep singing

Always, no matter the time, I'm thinking of you

It feels like the familiar scenery is different from usual

The city lights somehow look very gentle

Because tomorrow, we will surely be laughing together

The miracle of meeting under this sky

I'll go to meet you beyond the rainbow I looked up at

Until this voice reaches you

I will keep singing

Always, no matter the time, I'm thinking of you

I feel like I can't do anything right now

I see your smiling face floating in the sky I looked up at

For someone clumsy like me, believing is all I can do

Just like this sky, I always want to feel you

Close by, even more by my side

Until this voice reaches you

I will keep singing

Let's open the door for the two of us and walk forward

Since the day I met you, I've been envisioning my story

I'll build a bridge that connects to you, like a rainbow after the rain

The miracle of meeting under this sky

I'll go to meet you beyond the rainbow I looked up at

Until this voice reaches you

I will keep singing

Always, no matter the time, I love you

[Japanese]

この空の下でめぐり逢う奇跡

見上げた虹の向こう逢いに行くから

この声が届くまで

歌い続けるよ

いつでも どんな時も 君を想ってる

見慣れた景色がいつもと違うような気がして

街の灯りもなんだかとても優しく見えるよ

明日の僕達はきっと側で笑い合えてるから

この空の下でめぐり逢う奇跡

見上げた虹の向こう逢いに行くから

この声が届くまで

歌い続けるよ

いつでも どんな時も 君を想ってる

今の僕には何もできないそんな気がして

見上げた空に君の微笑む笑顔浮かべてる

不器用な僕には信じること…ただそれしかできない

この空のようにいつも君を

近くにもっと側に感じていたい

この声が届くまで

歌い続けるよ

二人の扉開けて歩いてゆこう

君と出会ったその日から思い描くMy story

雨上がりの虹のような君に繋がる橋を架けるから

この空の下でめぐり逢う奇跡

見上げた虹の向こう逢いに行くから

この声が届くまで

歌い続けるよ

いつでも どんな時も 君を愛してる
