I’ve completely forgotten how long I’ve been in this place...

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]
