通りを行き交う　人の群れに

紛れて鳴く　飛べない鳥

向かう先も　持たずにいる

ひとりぼっち

ささやき声に　耳を凝らし

名付け親の　帰りを待つ

日が暮れても　朝が来ても

姿はなく

時が経ち　景色も色あせ

忘れかけた　夢は

さあ今　愛を

僕らは　振り向いて　振り向いて　探して

どこかで　間違って

あなたの心に　近づいて　離れて

いつしか　失くなった

ささやかな音　水の流れ

汚れた傷　洗い去って

冬を越えて　春が来れば

芽生えのとき

外れた道に　転がってた

開かずの箱　鍵はなくて

ふさぎ込んだ　貝のように

秘めた想い

空っぽの世界に描いた

強がりな未来は

Allegro　自由を

僕らは　叫んで　叫んで　枯らして

最後に　つぶやいて

あの日の約束は　近づいて　離れて

こわれて　失くなった

それでも愛は　いのちの足音

永遠を断ち切るんだ

飛べない鳥に　魅せられた星は

やさしく微笑むから

僕らは　振り向いて　振り向いて　探して

どこかで　つまずいても

あなたの心に　羽ばたいて行くから

いつかは　届くさ

今でも　間に合うさ

Imademo maniau sa

A crowd of people walking up and down the street

Noticing a song coming from a grounded bird

Facing forwards and holding on

All alone

Concentrating on the whispering

Waiting for the godparent to return

As the day ends and the morning comes

It doesn’t appear

Time passes and the scenery grows stale

Starting to forget dreams

Come on now, love

We turn around, turn around, and search

Where were we mistaken?

Your spirit approches and leaves

Before you know it, you’re lost

The gentle sound of a water stream

Washes away the unclean wounds

Winter has passed, spring is coming

A time of sprouting buds

Rolling off the path

An unopened box with no key

Feeling closed up like a shell

Hiding your emotions

Depicting an empty world

Bluffing into the future

Allegro freedom

We shout, shout, and let it all out

Muttering at the end

The promise from that day approaches and leaves

It becomes broken and lost

But there is still love in life’s footsteps

Breaking off from eternity

The grounded bird, charmed by the stars

Shows a kind smile

We turn around, turn around, and search

Where did we stumble?

Your spirit flaps its wings and goes

Someday it will reach

Even now, there is still time
