• Romaji

  Habataitara modorenai to itte
  Mezashita no wa aoi aoi ano sora
  
  Kanashimi wa mada oboerarezu
  Setsunasa wa ima tsukami hajimeta
  Anata e to idaku kono kanjou mo
  Ima kotoba ni kawatteku
  
  Michi naru sekai no yume kara mezamete
  Kono hane wo hiroge tobi datsu
  
  Habataitara modorenai to itte
  Mezashita no wa shiroi shiroi ano kumo
  Tsukinuketara mitsukaru to shitte
  Furikiru hodo aoi aoi ano sora
  Aoi aoi ano sora
  Aoi aoi ano sora
  
  Aisotsukita you na oto de sabireta furui mado wa kowareta
  Miakita kago wa hora suteteiku furikaeru koto wa mou nai
  Takanaru kodou ni kokyuu wo azukete
  Kono mado wo kette tobi datsu
  
  Kakedashitara te ni dekiru to itte
  Izanau no wa tooi tooi ano koe
  Mabushii sugita anata no te mo nigitte
  Motomeru hodo aoi aoi ano sora
  
  Ochiteiku to wakatteita sore de mo hikari wo oi tsuzuketeiku yo
  
  Habataitara modorenai to itte
  Sagashita no wa shiroi shiroi ano kumo
  Tsukinuketara mitsukaru to shitte
  Furikiru hodo aoi aoi ano sora
  aoi aoi ano sora
  aoi aoi ano sora

  飛翔(はばた)いたら　戻らないと言って
  目指したのは　蒼い　蒼い　あの空
  
  “悲しみ”はまだ覚えられず　“切なさ”は今つかみはじめた
  あなたへと抱く　この感情も　今“言葉”に変わっていく
  
  未知なる世界の　遊迷(ゆめ)から目覚めて
  この羽根を広げ　飛び立つ
  
  飛翔(はばた)いたら　戻らないと言って
  目指したのは　白い　白い　あの雲
  突き抜けたら　みつかると知って
  振り切るほど　蒼い　蒼い　あの空
  蒼い　蒼い　あの空
  蒼い　蒼い　あの空
  
  愛想尽きたような音で　錆びれた古い窓は壊れた
  見飽きたカゴは　ほら捨てていく　振り返ることはもうない
  
  高鳴る鼓動に　呼吸を共鳴(あず)けて
  この窓を蹴って　飛び立つ
  
  駆け出したら　手にできると言って
  いざなうのは　遠い　遠い　あの声
  眩しすぎた　あなたの手も握って
  求めるほど　蒼い　蒼い　あの空
  
  墜ちていくと　わかっていた　それでも　光を追い続けていくよ
  
  飛翔(はばた)いたら　戻らないと言って
  探したのは　白い　白い　あの雲
  突き抜けたら　みつかると知って
  振り切るほど　蒼い　蒼い　あの空
  蒼い　蒼い　あの空
  蒼い　蒼い　あの空

• Translation

  You say if you could fly,
  you'd never come back down
  you only have eyes for that blue, blue sky
  
  you've yet to learn what sadness is
  and are just now grasping what pain is like
  even the feeling i have for you
  must be expressed with words
  
  As you awaken from a dream into an unknown world
  Spread your wings and take flight
  
  you say if you could fly, you'd never come back down
  You aimed for those white, white clouds
  
  You know if you can just make it through, you’ll find what you seek
  
  so keep trying to break free, to that blue, blue sky
  That blue, blue sky
  That blue, blue sky
  
  with a sound like all politeness was gone,
  the rusted old window broke
  look, your so sick of looking at that cage that you're throwing it away
  without ever looking back again
  
  that throbbing beat takes your breath away
  and you kick open that window and take off
  
  You said that if you ran, you would obtain it
  you're tempted by that distant, distant voice
  it grasps your far too dazzling hand
  
  untill you pursue that blue, blue sky
  
  i understand that you are falling, but continue to follow the light
  
  You say if you could fly, you would never come back down
  You search for those white, white clouds
  
  if you break through, you'll know you'll find it
  
  so try untill you break free to that blue, blue sky
  That blue, blue sky
  That blue, blue sky
