並んで飛んでく　番いの鳥

手を繋いでる　親子の伸びた影

夕日が照らした　綺麗なもの

そんな"ふつう"が　眩しかった

ブルーのベンチが　ひんやりして

ボクだけ　のけもの　に感じた

"ふつう"が良くて　そうありたくて

どうすればなれるかな？　ひとり　考えた

寂しいなんて　言うはずなくて

だってほら 言える人　君はそばにいないから

水辺も 並木も ボクさえも

オレンジ色に　染める光のように

君だけ 優しくしてくれた

空が笑ってた あの日のこと

気づけば伸びてた ボクの影が

なんだか　色濃く感じた

心に開いた　穴を埋めてと

願うたび　顔を出す　君の白昼夢

ぬくもりさえも　知らずにいれば

こんなにも　切なさを　感じずにいられたの？

だけどボクは　君と会えて

やっぱり良かったんだろう

離れていても　つながっていると

信じれば　歩いて行ける

"ふつう"が良くて　そうありたくて

なれるように　今日もまた　傷ついても探す

寂しいなんて 言うはずなくて

だってほら 言える人　君はそばにいないから

もしもまた逢えたなら　ずっとそばにいたいから

Narande tondeku tsugai no tori

Te wo tsunaideru oyako no nobita kage

Yuuhi ga terashita kirei na mono

Sonna "futsuu" ga mabushikatta

Buruu no benchi ga hinyari shite

Boku dake nokemono ni kanjita

"Futsuu" ga yokute sou aritakute

Dousureba nareru ka na? hitori kangaeta

Sabishii nante iu hazu nakute

Datte hora ieru hito kimi wa soba ni inai kara

Mizube mo namiki mo boku sae mo

Orenji iro ni someru hikari no you ni

Kimi dake yasashiku shite kureta

Sora ga waratteta ano hi no koto

Kidzukeba nobiteta boku no kage ga

Nanda ka irokoku kanjita

Kokoro ni aita ana wo umete to

Negau tabi kao wo dasu kimi no hakuchuumu

Nukumori sae mo shirazu ni ireba

Konna ni mo setsunasa wo kanjizu ni irareta no?

Dakedo boku wa kimi to aete

Yappari yokattandarou

Hanareteite mo tsunagatteiru to

Shinjireba aruite ikeru

"Futsuu" ga yokute sou aritakute

Nareru you ni kyou mo mata kizutsuite mo sagasu

Sabishii nante iu hazu nakute

Datte hora ieru hito kimi wa soba ni inai kara

Moshi mo mata aeta nara zutto soba ni itai karaa

A pair of birds flying away alongside each other.

An extended shadow of parent and child holding hands.

The beautiful things that are shined upon by the sunset light.

Those "normal" things were bright to me.

The blue bench feels cold.

I only feel like an outcast there.

"Normal" is good, and I want to be one.

"What should I do? Is it possible?", I thought about it all alone.

I feel lonely, yet I can't say it.

Because I only can say it to you, but you are not by my side.

The watersides, the row of trees, even me

are like being dyed orange by the sunset light.

You were the only one who was being kind to me.

That day, the sky smiled.

When I noticed it, my shadow has grown.

Somehow, it felt so dark.

"I want to fill this empty hole in my heart."

Every time I wish for it, I daydream about you and your face shows up.

If I don't even know what is 'warmth',

then should I not feel this much pain?

But the fact that I met you

is surely a good thing.

Even if we're apart, if we believe

that we're connected, we can keep on walking.

"Normal" is good, and I want to be one.

Even if it hurts me, today I'll keep looking for ways to be one.

I'm lonely, yet I can't say it.

Because I only can say it to you, but you are not by my side.

If we meet again, I want to stay by your side forever.

## Translation Notes

1. "The blue bench feels cold" means that the bench is left out (i.e; no one is using the bench).

2. Nokemono (除け者 ; in this lyrics it's written as full hiragana: のけもの) means "an outcast", "the odd person out".

## Animation
