結ばれた命には罪など無いけれど

道ならぬ恋ならばそれも許されまいと

二人の赤子を連れ　故郷（くに）を追われてゆく

降りかかる剣尖を逃れ

闇へと　落ちるように

荒ぶる滝の飛沫に打たれ

横たえた子を庇い　凌ぐ

あの日の君と眠れる夜　淡い夢を見て

浮かべた時間が幻でも　この身　委ねたい

それでも　私は抱き締める　託された命を

君との願いを掛けた歌　そばにある限り

流れゆく鳥の群れ　終わりのない旅

焼けるような日差し浴びて　渇き　声も失くし

時折　振り返れば　君の影を見る

幼子の無垢な顔に　愛を映し　溢れた雫

朽ちた煉瓦に染み入る涼夜

か細い手足で温め合う　Ah

最後にくれた　契りの輪に　刻まれた言葉

儚い霧に飲まれそうな　心照らすから

誰かに　認められなくとも　輝ける命よ

変わらぬ愛が　私たちを　永遠に繋いでいる

Hah

逸れても　生まれた場所へと集って

思い出を囲んで　暮らせたなら

今は　まだ幼い二人の火種に

燃え盛る希望が　拓けるだろう

あの日の君へ届けたい声が　こだまするの

果たせないまま　悔しいでしょうねぇ

どうか　前を見て

最後に君と眠れた夜　夢見た未来と

宿した命は腕のなか　穏やかな寝顔

この世界に君が居た事で　輝ける命よ

変わらぬ愛が　私たちを　永遠に繋いでいる

願いを掛けた歌　そばにある限り　Ah

Musubareta inochi ni wa tsumi nado nai keredo

Michinaranu koi naraba sore mo yurusaremai to

Futari no akago wo tsure kuni wo owarete yuku

Furikakaru kensen wo nogare

Yami he to ochiru you ni

Araburu taki no shibuki ni utare

Youkotaeta ko wo kabai shinogu

Ano hi no kimi to nemureru yoru awai yume wo mite

Ukabeta toki ga maboroshi demo kono mi yudanetai

Soredemo watashi wa dakishimeru kakusareta inochi wo

Kimi to no negai wo kaketa uta soba ni aru kagiri

Nagareyuku tori no mure owari no nai tabi

Yakeru you na hizashi abite kawaka koe mo nakushi

Tokiori furikaeraba kimi no kage wo miru

Osanako no muku na kao ni ai wo utsushi koboreta shizuku

Kuchita renga ni shimiiru ryouya

Kabosoi teashi de atatameau ah

Saigo ni kureta chigiri no wa ni kizamareta kotoba

Hakanai kiri ni nomaresou na kokoro terasu kara

Dareka ni mitomerareru naku to mo kagayakeru inochi yo

Kawaranu ai ga watashitachi wo towa ni tsunaideiru

Hah

Haguretemo umareta basho he to tsudotte

Omoide wo kakonde kuraseta nara

Ima wa mada osanai futari no hidane ni

Moesakaru kibou ga hirakeru darou

Ano hi no kimi he todoketai koe ga kodamasuru no

Hatasenai mama kuyashii deshou

Douka mae wo mite

Saigo ni kimi to nemureta yoru yumemita mirai to

Yadoshita inochi wo ude no naka odayaka na negao

Kono sekai ni kimi ga itakoto de kagayakeru inochi yo

Kawaranu ai ga watashi tachi wo towa ni tsunaideiru

Negai wo kaketa uta soba ni aru kagiri ah

Two lives that are connected isn’t sinful at all but,

an illicit love affair can be an unforgivable thing.

We take our child and leave our hometown,

running away from the swords pointed at us,

and falling into darkness.

The harsh splash of the waterfall hit as

we desperately try to protect the living child.

I saw a fleeting dream on that night I slept with you.

Even if that moment in time was an illusion, I’ll devote myself to you.

Even so, I will embrace this life entrusted to me,

as long as I have that song of wishes that you have given me.

The birds are flying from their nest as they go on a never-ending journey.

Their voices disappear as they bask in the sun.

Sometimes, when I look back, I feel like I can see your shadow.

With an overflowing love reflected on that childish, innocent face.

Even the rotting brick of a decrepit old house

will be able to keep those thin hands and feet warm. Ah~

The last vows that you gave to me are engraved in my heart,

and will light my way even when it seems like I’ll be swallowed by an eternal mist.

Even if no one will accept it, this life is brilliant.

This unchanging love of ours will connect us for eternity.

Hah~

Even if I wander far, I’ll eventually return to what was my home.

If it’s a place surrounded by memories,

then, right now it’s what still remains of our innocence.

I’m sure it will turn into a blaze of hope.

The voice that I wanted to reach you remains a whisper.

It must be difficult to know that it will never reach but,

please, continue looking forward.

I saw a dream of the future on that last night I slept with you.

With this life I took care of right in my arms, sleeping with such a gentle face.

The fact that you were in this world made this life a brilliant one.

This unchanging love of ours will connect us for eternity.

As long as I have that song of wishes that you have given me..
