細い声をのせた電話線は
The thin voice rides on the telephone line
夢中で空を かけてゆくの
Enthralled, it races through the sky
やまぶき色の気流にのって
Surfing on the golden currents
すみれ色の湖をこえて
Crossing over the violet-hued lake
あなたの耳へ
To reach your ears
どんなに遠くはなれていても
No matter how far apart we are
私の心は ついてゆく
My heart will follow you
あなたを守るため
To protect you

あなたの耳へ
To your ears,
舞いおちた涙をかき集めて
I gather the tears that fell down,
手の平にのせて 私にください
Place them in my hands, and give them to me,
そのかわり 暖かな歌を
In exchange, I will sing you a warm song.
うたって あげるから
I will sing it just for you,
どこかに置き忘れた言葉を
Searching through clouds in a flying fish color,
つなぎとめる 鍵をなくし
I’ve lost the key that ties together forgotten words,
とびうお色の雲の中を探しつづけ
Continuing to search,
あなただけに歌う
Singing only for you,
あなたの耳へ
To your ears.
くだけ散った夢のかけらは
The scattered fragments of shattered dreams,
少しづつ 集めていきましょう
Let's gather them little by little.
アネモネ色の光はなち
Anemone-colored light begins to blossom,
くちなしのにおい まき散らして
Spreading the scent of gardenias,
あなたの耳へ―――。
To reach your ears―――.
