===== English translation =====
:The darkening ink-colored sky
:Invites traces of distant days.
:Carrying childhood dreams and yearnings,
:Airplane trails flow and disappear.
:If I crossed time
:To the me of that day,
:If I could tell her,
:I'd want to fly away.
:And as for fears, well
:Let them fall away just so
:From your tiny palms.
:The world is simply waiting
:For your shining eyes to make their debut.
:Strange towns' unknown people
:Pass on by as though in a movie.
:Won't someone show me the path?
:The one remaining path I'm expected to follow?
:If you open the door
:To the neighboring world,
:If you can go inside,
:Search for me.
:Follow your dreams, if only a little,
:Those nostalgic days that took roundabout routes
:Do you remember them?
:And are you still
:Walking about with your shining eyes?
:The darkening ink-colored sky
:Invites traces of distant days.
