Japanese Rōmaji[]
Nee konna katachi no deai shika nakatta no?
Kanashii ne
Anata ni shindemo ayamete hoshiku mo nai... onegai
Unmei sae nomikomade shizumisouna umi e to
Negai yo kaze ni notte yoake no kane wo narase yo
Tori no you ni
My wishes over their airspace
Musuu no nami wo koe
Asu he tachimukau anata wo mamoritamae
My life I trade in for your pain
Arasoi yo tomare
Nee hito wa doushite kurikaeshi ayamachi wo kasaneteku?
Shinka shinai dare ni mo nagareru kono chi ga
daikirai
Honnou de sabakiau dare no demo nai daichi de
Sumiwataru mirai ga kita nara kusabana mo
heiki ni yadoru darou
My wishes over their airspace
Dare ga yuriokoshite warui yume kara samashite yo
Kanau no nara
My life I trade in for your pain
Dore dake inoreba ten ni todoku?
Ima asayake ga unabarato watashi wo utsusu
Negai yo kaze ni notte yoake no kane wo narase yo
Tori no you ni
My wishes over their airspace
Musuu no nami wo koe
Asu e tachimukau anata wo mamoritamae
My life I trade in for your pain
Furimukazu habatake
Kono omoi wo hakonde
Ano sora wo tondeku
Mirai wa dare ni mo uchiotosenai
English Translation[]
So, was this the only way we could have met?
Sad, isn't it?
I don't want you to die or kill anyone...please
In the ocean, even fate seems to be swallowed and drowned
My hopes ride on the wind and ring the daybreak's bell
Like a bird
My wishes over their airspace
Let them protect you as you overcome countless waves and stand up to tomorrow
My life I trade in for your pain
Stop the fighting
Hey, why do people repeat mistakes and pile them up?
This blood flows through all of us and never evolves
I hate it
With fire, people judge others on this Earth meant to be shared
If the future clears up and arrives
Flowers will take root in our weapons
My wishes over their airspace
Someone shake me awake from this bad dream
If wishes come true
My life I trade in for your pain
How long do I have to pray before it reaches heaven?
Now, the daybreak shines on me and the ocean
My hopes ride on the wind and ring the daybreak's bell
Like a bird
My wishes over their airspace
Let them protect you as you overcome countless waves and stand up to tomorrow
My life I trade in for your pain
Take flight without looking back
Carrying these hopes
Flying through that sky
Our dreams can't be shot down by anyone
