Aruasa no kawa no hotori
(one morning near a river)
kusamura midori no nitani korobi
(falling in a patch of grass)
matasaki kusuguru choucho to
(with a tickling b***erfly)
ima daki kirenu sore wa dokomademo toui
(the sky I can't possibly embrace is distant)
jidai ni osaefuka meru SCREEN
(a deepening screen in the age)
utsushidaseru no wa yume no tsuzuki
(what it shows is the continuation of a dream)
akubi hitotsu to ookiku senobi
(with a yawn and a big stretch)
haru no sesaragi hitori dainichi
(spring's wisdom alone, Great Sun)
haruka yama no itadaki no goriiki
(the faraway mountain fortress)
kisetsu matabe tabi no michizushi
(spanning the seasons, a journey's shrine)
hoho o kasumete tondeku tsubame
(a flying swallow grazes my cheek)
furimuki sama "ohayou" koe o hakorase
(looking back, someone calls "good morning")
sore sore ihaneba seige to koshiage sorode ittai dochira made
(soon I must go, connection and fold in history)
(and where are you going?)
sore wa, sore wa, sore wa, sore wa
(that is, that is, that is, that is...)
tokini soushun sou tabi no tochuu
(sometimes early spring, yes, in the middle of a journey)
[chorus]
tsumari bokura nishi e kudari
(and so we descend into the West)
burari samurai kodori burai
(rascals pretending to be samurai)
michizure tamashii sora e fuwari
(fellow travelers, souls into the sky softly)
tsubasa hirogaeshitara, FLY
(fluttering our wings, FLY)
[repeat chorus]
itsuha taki ni deru koto ni naru towa
(I knew from the day I was born)
umareta toki kara s***te imashita
(that I would go on a journey)
ansuro shota chiisama senaka ni
(a lovely tree-lined road, I heard someone call)
dareka ga yobu koe kikoete mashi kakogaeri no yuuyake komichi
(returning to the past, a sunset path)
natsukashi sa ni madoromi aruku hibi
(days when I walk in sleepy nostalgia)
kitto zutto mukashi tachigi sagashi
(I'm sure always in the past, standing, eating, searching)
yobisamachi yagate hajimaru tabi
(awakened, a journey finally begun)
houmekutte rekishi himotoku
(unraveling the past)
yori mo ore nu sekai gu sutte hitoku
(my world was much grander than that)
suika no seko ni hibiku kanshoku
(the heavy resonance of a watermelon)
ASPHALT no s***a ni nemuru hioku
(a memory sleeping under the asphalt) tadori tabi ukabu genzai karakako
(following the path, rising to the surface, present to past)
boku wa boko ni deau daru
(I will surely meet myself)
soshite mirai no boku go boku we mitsuke
(my future self will find me)
sore made koko de chotto machibuse
(until then I wait in ambush)
