aestas mare 蒼く染めて

ventus lenis ざわめき合う

vastitas ire くじけそうな

perfectus nihil 闇を渡って

繰り返した 迷い 過ち 越えて

俯いた顔を上げて 歌おう

xeno via 踏み出した海の彼方

集めた光を束ねたら

sol ala 未知なる この世界が

静寂を奪って突き動かすだろう 僕らを

libertas mare なびく旗を

天に掲げ 使命を纏う

stella vinculum 結ぶテトラ

約束された誓いの糸を

すれ違う 時の悪戯 越えて

砕けそうな想い 心で語ろう

xeno via 誰にも止められない

自由の羽根を広げたら

sol ala 身体に光浴びて

追い風熱く揺り動かすだろう 僕らを

星降る水辺 手を合わせて 確かめた絆

昇り行く人の遺志も背負い ここで歌おう

xeno via 踏み出した海の彼方

集めた光を束ねたら

sol ala 未知なるこの世界が

静寂を奪って動き始める

xeno via 誰にも止められない

自由の羽根を広げたら

sol ala 身体に光浴びて

追い風熱く揺り動かすだろう 僕らを

光を導いて

aestas mare aoku somete

ventus lenis zawamekiau

vastitas ire kujike sou na

perfectus nihil yami wo watatte

Kurikaeshita mayoi ayamachi koete

Utsumuita kao wo agete utaou

xeno via fumidashita umi no kanata

Atsumeta hikari wo tabanetara

sol ala michi naru kono sekai ga

Seijaku wo ubatte tsuki ugokasu darou bokura wo

libertas mare na biku hata wo

Ten ni kakage shimei wo matou

stella vinculum musubu tetora

Yakusoku sareta chikai no ito wo

Surechigau toki no itazura koete

Kudake sou na omoi kokoro de katarou

xeno via dare ni mo tomerarenai

Jiyuu no hane wo hirogetara

sol ala karada ni hikari abite

Oikaze atsuku yuriugokasu darou bokura wo

Hoshi furu mizube te wo awasete tashikameta kizuna

Nobori yuku hito no ishi mo seoi koko de utaou

xeno via fumidashita umi no kanata

Atsumeta hikari wo tabanetara

sol ala michi naru kono sekai ga

Seijaku wo ubatte ugoki hajimeru

xeno via dare ni mo tomerarenai

Jiyuu no hane wo hirogetara

sol ala karada ni hikari abite

Oikaze atsuku yuriugokasu darou bokura wo

Hikari wo michibiite

aestas mare (summer sea) dyed blue

ventus lenis (smooth wind) becoming noisy

vastitas ire (continue wasting) if it’s broken

perfectus nihil (nothing is perfect) across the darkness

Repeating doubt, errors, over and over

Don’t look down, raise your face and sing

xeno via (a foreign way) step forward in the direction of the sea

Collect the light together

sol ala (sun’s wings) if this world does not know

Then we will stir up this silence, won’t we?

libertas mare (freedom of the sea) waving a flag

Carrying our message, send it to the skies

stella vinculum (star bonds) linked together

With the string we made a promise on

Passing each other is a trick beyond time

Broken feelings spoken through the heart

xeno via (a foreign way) nobody can stop it

Spreading feathers of freedom

sol ala (star bonds) bathe their bodies in light

Then our hot tailwinds will move, won’t they?

Stars fall down on the waterside, the bonds are confirmed with my own hands

We sing to help the dying wish people carry while they ascend

xeno via (a foreign way) step forward in the direction of the sea

Collect the light together

sol ala (sun’s wings) if this world does not know

Let’s get rid of the silence and start moving

xeno via (a foreign way) nobody can stop it

Spreading feathers of freedom

sol ala (star bonds) bathe their bodies in light

Then our hot tailwinds will move, won’t they?

The light will guide us
