Itsu kara kono basho de
Naite ita no ka
Wasurete shimatte
Namida no riyuu sae
Karete shimau made
Hitori de kakurete itai no
[I’ve completely forgotten how long
I’ve been in this place crying
I want to stay hidden away until
even the reason for my tears dries up]
Kaze ga yobukedo
Kotae wa nakute
Sora wa kanashiku hitori kiri
Aishita koto mo
Suna no morosa ni
Kiete
[Though the wind calls out to me
I have no answer to give it
The sky is sorrowful as all alone
the things I loved
disappear into the brittleness
of the sand]
Mou anata ga doko ni mo mienai
Kumo wa tabi o sasou kedo
Itsuka hitori de tobitatsu toki made
Watashi wa sora o shitsu kushite
Nemuru iso shi gi
[No longer can I see you
Though the wind invites me out on a journey
Until the day I fly away alone
I will lose the sky,
a slumbering Sandpiper]
Kokyou e tsuzuku aoi kaze o tada
Shinjite ita no yo
Shiawase no michishirube midori no shima e
Anata no tsubasa o mitsumete
[I only ever believed in the blue wind that continued on
to my home town
I gaze at your wings, a guide of happiness
to that green island]
Jiyuu ni nareba
Michi o shitsu kushita
Sekai wa kanashii hodo hiroku
Umi yori takaku
Ten yori hikuku
Iku wa
[When I became free
I lost my way
The world is so wide it’s lonely
I will go
higher than the seas
lower than the heavens]
Mou anata ni kizutsuku koto mo nai
Yagate tozasa reru soukyuu
Kaeru basho sae mienaku narukedo
Watashi wa sora o wasurete
Aruki hajimeru
[No longer is there anything that can hurt you
Soon I will close away the blue sky
Though I can’t even see the place I’m returning home to
I’ll forget about the sky
and begin to walk]
