Romaji:

“’Watashi’ wa ima doko ni aru no” to

Fumishimeta ashiato wo nandomo mitsumekaesu

Kareha wo daki akimeku madobe ni

Kajikanda yubisaki de yume wo egaita

Tsubasa wa aru no ni tobezu ni irun da

Hitori ni naru no ga kowakute tsurakute

Yasashii hidamari ni kata yoseru hibi wo

Koete bokura kodoku na yume e to aruku

Sayonara wa kanashii kotoba ja nai

Sorezore no yume e to bokura wo tsunagu yell

Tomo ni sugoshita hibi wo mune ni idaite

Tobitatsu yo hitori de tsugi no sora e

Bokura wa naze kotae wo asette

Ate no nai kuragari ni jibun wo sagasu no darou

Dareka wo tada omou namida mo

Massugu na egao mo koko ni aru no ni

“Hontou no jibun” wo dareka no kotoba de

Tsukurou koto ni nogarete mayotte

Ari no mama no yowasa to mukiau tsuyosa wo

Tsukami bokura hajimete ashita e to kakeru

Sayonara wo dareka ni tsugeru tabi ni

Bokura mata kawareru tsuyoku nareru kana

Tatoe chigau sora e tobitatou to mo

Todae wa shinai omoi yo ima mo mune ni

Eien nado nai to kizuita toki kara

Waraiatta ano hi mo utaiatta ano hi mo

Tsuyoku fukaku mune ni kizamarete iku

Dakara koso anata wa dakara koso bokura wa

Hoka no dare demo nai dare ni mo makenai

Koe wo agete “watashi” wo ikite iku yo to

Yakusoku shitan da hitori hitori hitotsu hitotsu michi wo eranda

Sayonara wa kanashii kotoba ja nai

Sorezore no yume e to bokura wo tsunagu yell

Itsuka mata meguriau sono toki made

Wasure wa shinai hokori yo tomo yo sora e

Bokura ga wakachiau kotoba ga aru

Kokoro kara kokoro e koe wo tsunagu yell

Tomo ni sugoshita hibi wo mune ni idaite

Tobitatsu yo hitori de tsugi no sora e

Translation:

I look back on the footprint I’ve left again and again

Thinking “Where is ‘me’ now?”

I scooped uo the dead leaves in my arms

And drew my dreams on the autumn window with my numb fingertips

I have wings but I can’t fly

I’m afraid of being alone, it’s too painful

We’re leaving behind those days of cuddling in the gentle sun

And walking on to our lonely dreams

Goodbye isn’t a sad word

It’s a yell that connects us to our respective dreams

I’ll hold the days we spent together in my heart

And take off alone to my next sky

Why do we get impatient for an answer

And search for ourselves in darkness so deep that we get lost in it?

When we have the tears and straightforward smiles

Of just loving someone, right here?

When it comes to our real selves, we get off track, get confused

And think it’s made up by other people’s words

We’ll take hold of our natural weakness and the strength to face it

And start running to tomorrow for the first time

Maybe every time we say goodbye to someone

We can change, we can become stronger

Even if we take off to different skies

This love won’t stop, it still remains in my heart

Ever since I realised there’s no such thing as eternity

The day we laughed together, and the day we sang together

Have become strongly, deeply carved into my heart

That’s why you, that’s why we

Aren’t anybody else, can’t be beaten by anyone

We raised our voices and promised that we’d live our lives our way

Each of us chose our own path

Goodbye isn’t a sad word

It’s a yell that connects us to our respective dreams

Until we meet again someday

I won’t forget this pride, my friend, into the sky

We have a word that we share

It’s a yell that connects our voices, one heart to another

I’ll hold the days we spent together in my heart

And take off alone to my next sky
