Japanese (Romaji)
Kanaetai omoi wa zutto zutto mune no fukaku fukaku de

Tobitateru toki wo iki wo hisume matteru

Tokihanate kago wa mou iranai

Aoi tori otogi hanashi wo you ni shiawase wo hakondekureru shinjiteta

Aoi sora jiyuu ni tobu sugata ni kono omoi kasanete wa negatteta

Dakedo itsuka wa kieteshimau

Maboroshi no you ni aimaina sugata

Wasureta koto nantenai kedo suberiochiru you ni

Surinukete awa no you ni kieru

Soredemo omoi wa zutto zutto mune no fukaku fukaku de

Nemuru you ni tada iki wo hisume matteru

Tokihanate kago wa mou iranai.
