砂舞うは夏の花の様で
The sand dances like flowers of summer
滴る水は海へ戻る
Dripping water returns to the sea
その花散る頃夢思って
When those flowers fall, I think of dreams
また日照りが心を戻す
Once again, the drought brings back my heart
変わりたいな
I want to change
でも変わりたくないな
But I don't want to change
そっとね ずっとね
Softly now, forever now
見ていてほしいんだよ
I want you to watch over me
なな涙が枯れたというなら
If my tears have dried up
愛を込めて今
With love, right now
無愛想なキミなら
If you're as unfriendly as you seem,
意味ならわかるでしょ?
You understand what I mean, right?
我らは今日もまた
We continue to walk today once more,
歩いてゆく
We walk on and on,
歩いてゆく
We walk on and on.
昔話とは寓話の様で
Like an old tale, resembling a fable,
吹く風は山々へ戻る
The blowing wind returns to the mountains,
その花散る頃夢思って
Thinking of dreams when the flowers fall,
また日陰が心を戻す
Once again, the shade brings back my heart,
変わりたいは
I want to change...
いずれ子守唄になった
Eventually, it became a lullaby
きっとね ずっとね
Surely, yes, forever
続けていくんだろう
It'll go on, won't it?
とと尖った心和らぐなら
If a pointed heart can soften
愛を込めて今
With love, right now
無愛想な人でも
Even a gruff person
いつかはわかるから
Will understand someday
キミとて今日もただ
You too, just today
学んでゆく
Are learning
学んでゆく
Are learning
学んでゆく
Learning as I go
なな涙が枯れたというなら
If you say your tears have dried up
無愛想なキミなら
If it's you who's so aloof
意味ならわかるでしょ?
You understand the meaning, right?
なな涙が枯れたというなら
If you say your tears have dried up
愛を込めて今
With love, right now
無愛想なキミなら
If it's you who's so aloof
意味ならわかるでしょう?
You understand the meaning, don't you?
私は今日もまた
Once again today
歩いてゆく
I'm walking on
歩いてゆく
I will keep on walking
歩いてゆく
I will keep on walking
