あなたがいたことわたしがいたこと

それはいつか見た夢のようで

朝が来るたび

波が寄せるたび

ちっぽけで小さな

キミを思った

青く浮かぶ器　水をうねる魚

草原を渡って　シャツに舞い込む風

広い世界だって　誰かを感じれば

孤独を知ることは　素晴らしいと思えた

空を混ぜる夕日　見つめているその目

光に透ける髪　染められてる心

たとえ終わりが来て　明日をなくしても

透明な感覚

忘れずにいたいよ

化石になった　ケモノや鳥になった

言葉がわたしのなかにもいて

誰もがきっとそうして生きてるんだと

思えた時から素直になれたの

水際を歩いて　見上げたひつじ雲

遠く海の向こう　夜を呼んだイルカ

どんな世界だって　秘密があるならば

知らないことでさえ　美しいと思えた

空に溶けてく月　掴みかけたその手

ふいに息がこぼれ　滲む水平線

たとえ終わりが来て　カタチをなくしても

確かな感触を

ずっと覚えてるよ

流れ流れる時のそばで

焦がれ焦がれる　あの温もり

逃れ逃れて　この場所から

あなたはどんなこと思うのだろう

青く燃える器　闇に消える魚

一瞬の静寂　身体中伝って

広い世界の中　あなたの優しさが

今ならきっとそう　わかる気がしたんだ

空を混ぜたタ日見つめていたその目

光に透けた髪染められてた心

たとえ終わりが来て明日をなくしても

透明な感覚

忘れずにいたいよ

あなたがいたこと　わたしがいたこと

Anata ga ita koto watashi ga ita koto

Sore wa itsuka mita yume no you de

Asa ga kuru tabi

Nami ga yoseru tabi

Chippoke de chiisana

Kimi wo omotta

Aoku ukabu utsuwa mizu wo uneru sakana

Sougen wo watatte SHATSU ni maikomu kaze

Hiroi sekai datte dareka wo kanjireba

Kodoku wo shiru koto wa subarashii to omoeta

Sora wo mazeru yuuhi mitsumeteiru sono me

Hikari ni sukeru kami somerareteru kokoro

Tatoe owari ga kite ashita wo nakushite mo

Toumei na kankaku

Wasurezu ni itai yo

Kaseki ni natta kemono ya tori ni natta

Kotoba ga watashi no naka ni mo ite

Dare mo ga kitto soushite ikiteru nda to

Omoeta toki kara sunao ni nareta no

Mizugiwa wo aruite miageta hitsujigumo

Tooku umi no mukou yoru wo yonda iruka

Donna sekai datte himitsu ga aru naraba

Shiranai koto de sae utsukushii to omoeta

Sora ni toketeku tsuki tsukamikaketa sono te

Fui ni iki ga kobore nijimu suiheisen

Tatoe owari ga kite katachi wo nakushite mo

Tashika na kashoku wo

Zutto oboeteru yo

Nagare nagareru toki no soba de

Kogare kogareru ano nukumori

Nogare nogarete kono basho kara

Anata wa donna koto omou no darou

Aoku moeru utsuwa yami ni kieru sakana

Isshun no seijaku karadajuu tsutatte

Hiroi sekai no naka anata no yasashisa ga

Ima nara kitto sou wakaru ki ga shita nda

Sora wo mazeta yuuhi mitsumeteita sono me

Hikari ni suketa kami somerareteta kokoro

Tatoe owari ga kite ashita wo nakushite mo

Toumei na kankaku

Wasurezu ni itai yo

Anata ga ita koto watashi ga ita koto

That you were standing there with me, and when I was also there with you

Somehow I felt like I had dreamt it back in the day

When the morning light comes to me,

and when the waves approaches to me,

It reminded me of a memory

small and tiny you there

'Here is a stagnant blue vessel, and fishes billowed within'

'And here gust bowels, shirts aflutter, prairies asunder'

Even in such a vast world, when we can feel somebody there

and know how a heart beats, that is astounding to me

Your eyes gaze upwards while the twilight stirs the skies

The light falling onto your hair, it dyed your heart also

Should the end come today, and tomorrow is no more

I want to never forget to live

with a bare, translucent heart

We've all been fossils, we've all been animals and birds

And I want certain words to exist in me

When I realized that all must have lived like that, too

I've been able to be honest with myself since that day

'The altocumulus cloud that I saw on my beach walk'

'The dolphin crying out its voice, straight deep beyond the seas'

Should secrets exist in such a world full of attachments

Even things I don't know became beautiful to me

Your hands tried to grasp into the air, towards the melting moon in the sky

Your sigh spilled into the air, melted into the horizon

Should the end come today, and our bodies are no more

I will definitely remember

How your touch is true

Oh we flowed, brought by the tide, right there beside the time

And we yearned, oh we so yearned, for that glimmer of warmth

As we ran, as we escaped, far from this very place

What kind of thoughts came in your head? I wonder what they were

'Here is a burning blue vessel, and fishes eradicated within'

'Silence instantly unfurled, felt by my whole being'

In this big, vast world, there is still your kindness here

and now I feel like I'm certain, that I can understand it now

Your eyes gaze upwards while the twilight stirs the skies

The light falling onto your hair, it dyed your heart also

Should the end come today, and tomorrow is no more

I want to spend the rest of my days

with a bare, translucent heart

You were standing there with me, and I was also there with you

## Trivia

* The song theme deals with fatalism, powerlessness of living being in the face of nature and the course of time, and how small humans are compared to the whole universe. However, the lyrics itself links towards acceptance of that fatalist point of view by which the song brings up a point about making the most out of what life allows us to have.
* The Blue Vessel mentioned in the song refers to Earth, describing what it is and the end of its fate at the last part of the song.
* The song also describes Shinonome Kazune' mindset regarding her lifestyle and life itself, choosing to be honest with what she actually is and living the most out of it.
* A theory for the song's name is that it comes from the name of one of the Soviet Space dogs, Belka.
* Another possible theory for the song's name is that it could be related to Belka, a country in the Ace Combat universe. This is thought to be the case because Ace Combat is also a Bandai Namco franchise, and it is also theorized that Denonbu and Ace Combat take place in the same universe.
	+ Should the song really refer to the Principality of Belka, then the song would be an ironic reference to the infamous warmongering imperialist state, as the state crumbled to be very weak and struggling to recover from war.
