飛翔いたら 戻らないと言って
Once I take flight, they say I won't return
目指したのは 蒼い 蒼い あの空
What I aimed for was that blue, blue sky
"悲しみ"はまだ覚えられず
"Sadness" I still cannot remember
"切なさ"は今つかみはじめた
"Yearning" I have just begun to grasp now
あなたへと抱く この感情も
This feeling I hold for you too
今"言葉"に変わっていく
Is now transforming into "words"
未知なる世界の 遊迷から目覚めて
Awakening from the maze of an unknown world
この羽根を広げ 飛び立つ
I spread these wings and take to flight

Once I break through, I know I'll find it
振り切るほど 蒼い 蒼い あの空
As blue as the sky, I'm shaking it off
蒼い 蒼い あの空
Oh, that blue, blue sky
蒼い 蒼い あの空
Yeah, that blue, blue sky
愛想尽きたような音で
With a sound that seems to have lost its charm
錆びれた古い窓は壊れた
The weathered old window has shattered
見飽きたカゴは ほら捨てていく
I’m tossing aside this cage I’ve grown tired of
振り返ることはもうない
There's no looking back anymore
高鳴る鼓動に 呼吸を共鳴けて
With a heartbeat that rises, our breaths resonate
この窓を蹴って 飛び立つ
I kick this window and soar into the sky
駆け出したら 手にできると言って
When I start to run, I say it can be in my hands
いざなうのは 遠い 遠い あの声
What beckons me is that distant, distant voice
眩しすぎた あなたの手も握って
I grasped your hand that was too bright for my eyes
求めるほど 蒼い 蒼い あの空
The more I desire, the bluer, bluer that sky becomes
墜ちていくと わかっていた
I knew I was falling down
それでも 光を追い続けていくよ
Yet still, I will keep chasing the light
飛翔いたら 戻れないと言って
When I soar, I say I won't be able to return
探したのは 白い 白い あの雲
What I sought was that white, white cloud
突き抜けたら みつかると知って
I knew it would be found if I broke through
振り切るほど 蒼い 蒼い あの空
The bluer, bluer sky I'm shedding behind
蒼い 蒼い あの空
Blue, blue is that sky
蒼い 蒼い あの空
Blue, blue is that sky
