Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

四角い窓の外秋深し

Outside the square window, autumn runs deep.

今年最初の霜が降る

The first frost of the year has fallen.

チクタク鳴り響く部屋の中

In this room, the ticking clock echoes loudly.

日々を直向きに生きてます

Living each day with all my heart.

坂道、高い空、蝉時雨

Hill slopes, the high sky, cicadas' chorus.

駈け出す私達が居た

We were the ones rushing ahead.

波の音に夢を乗せて

Sending dreams upon the sound of waves.

遠い世界の旅に出よう

Let's go on a journey to a distant world.

幾つもの出逢いと別れ路

Countless encounters and farewells along the road.

続く物語

This is an endless story.

...

...

指折り数えた名残の空

The lingering sky we’ve counted with our fingers.

蒼く澄んだビー玉のように

Like a clear blue marble.

小さな迷いも溶かしてゆく

Melting away even the smallest doubts.

そんな晴れた思い出でした

That was a bright memory that I cherish.

暁、明けの空に三日月

In dawn, the crescent moon in the morning sky.

吐き出す息白く夢の様

Taking a breath, white as a dream.

いつでも傍に希望を抱いて

Always holding hope close by.

駈け出す私達が居た

We were the ones rushing ahead.

波の音に夢を乗せて

Sending dreams upon the sound of waves.

遠い世界の旅に出よう

Let's go on a journey to a distant world.

幾つもの出逢いと別れ路

Countless encounters and farewells along the road.

続く物語

This is an endless story.

立ち止まる日を乗り超えて

Overcoming days when we had to stop.

もう一度風を掴もう

Let's grab the wind once more.

幾つもの想い出を胸に寄せ

Holding many memories close to our hearts.

歩む物語

Walking on through our story.
