Lyrics

Japanese

消せない過去を　激しく憎んだ
世界が全部　逆さまに見えた

おんぼろ自転車で　小高い丘から
真っ直ぐな気持ちで　坂道駆け下りた
風になれた

やがて街を抜けて　広がる景色
この世界の真実は
空と　宇宙と　君と
確かな気持ちだったんだ

だから　シンフォニー　今はまだ小さな光の中
揺るぎない力強さを　歌に託すのさ

やがて　セレモニー　いつかこの大きな交響詩を
鳴らそうぜ　もっと　フルボリュームに
まるで　銀河のパレード

消せない過去に　さよならできるさ

土砂降りになっても　大きく笑うのさ

English

I intensely hated the indelible past
The whole world seemed upside-down!

From the hill, on a rickety bicycle,
My feelings ran down a straight slope 
I became the wind

Down a long street, my view expanded
The truth of this world is
The air and space and you
Made me feel a certain way...

That's why, a symphony, now it's still in the little light
The unwavering strength to commit to the song

Before long, a ceremony, one day this long symphonic poem
Will ring out more in full volume
It's like a parade of the galaxy!

I can say goodbye to the indelible past...

Even when it's raining cats and dogs, I'll laugh even louder!
