Romanized Lyrics

Yuugure nobita kumo no se tatsu kaze wa
Madoromu akegata ni nita
Sora no iro wo yurasu
Tada hikuku chi wo naderu you ni
Tobu tori no hakobu no wa
Ame no nioi ka asu no yukue ka
Tachinoboru petorikooru
Musebu you na natsu no omokage
Sora ni ochita kokyuu no tsubute
Hajiketa kumoma wo nagameteita
Itsuka futari ga mata deaeta nara
Tada hanasou taai mo nai koto

Natsuake sabita koukasen aoi sora
Nazoru you ni omoidasetara
Mata deai ni yukou
Nagaku nobita kage hitotsu
Hagureta ashiato ga futatsu
Sora wo oyoida hikari wo tadotte
Mitsuketa kurayami no matsu hou e
Itsuka futari ga meguriaeta koto
Tada aisou modore wa shinakute mo

Yume ga samete mo iki wa tsuzuite
Ugoku ashi dake ga mae e susunda
Mezasu akari wa tooi kumo no mukou
Sora ni ochita kokyuu wo sukutte
Hajiketa kumoma e to tobitatta
Itsuka futari ga mata deaeta nara
Tada hanasou arashi no ato de

English Lyrics

Dusk falls, on the spine of a stretching cloud, a wind begins to rise
Like a slumbering dawn
It stirs the colors of the sky
As if brushing low against the earth
What does the flying bird carry?
The scent of rain, or word of what's to come?
The rising petrichor
A summer's lingering, catching in my throat
A pebble of breath, fallen in the sky
I gazed upon the parting in the clouds
If we can meet again someday
Let's just talk... of nothing much at all

Summer dawn, a rusted railway high against the blue sky
If I could trace it all in memory
I'll go to meet you once again
A single shadow, stretching long
Two sets of footprints, strayed and gone
Following the light that swam across the sky
Toward the waiting darkness I have found
That we once chanced to meet in this lifetime
Let's just cherish it, though we can never return

The dream may end, but still my breath goes on
My moving feet alone have carried me ahead
The light I seek is far beyond the clouds
I scoop the breath that fell upon the sky
And soared up through the parting in the clouds
If we can meet again someday
Let's just talk... after the storm has passed
