hitotsu, shikakui heya de umare
futatsu, naka kara tsuki wo miage
mittsu, ibasho no nai kago wo
hitari, hitari notauchimawaru
hitotsu, chiri yuku sadame to shiri
futatsu, kuusou no jiyuu wo
mittsu, naki tsukarete nemuru
itsuka, kabatakeru hi made
kirameiteru ano hoshi mo kimi no naki kao ue kara waratte iruto
dakara itsuka kagayakeru hi made jirazu yukkuri oyasumi
dakara ima wa kao agete itsuka egaita rakugaki sagashi ni yukou
kitto itsuka kokoro kara waraeru hibi wo yumemite

One, born in a square room
Two, to look at the moon from within
Three, the cage located nowhere is
Soaking, soaking, it writhes
One, to know the destiny that scatters
Two, the fantasies of freedom
Three, tired from crying, fall asleep
Someday, till the day you can flap your wings
Even that glimmering star is smiling at your crying face from above
So till the day when you can sparkle, teasingly carefree, "good night"
So now, lift your face, someday you might search for that scribble which you drew
Surely, someday, you will dream of the days when you can smile from your heart
