残酷な天使のように
Like a cruel angel,
少年よ神話になれ
Boy, become a legend.
蒼い風がいま胸のドアを叩いても
Even if the blue wind now knocks on my heart's door,
私だけをただ見つめて微笑んでるあなた
You, who only gaze at me and smile,
そっとふれるものもとめることに夢中で
Caught up in seeking what gently touches,
運命さえまだ知らないいたいけな瞳
Innocent eyes that don’t even know their fate yet.
だけどいつか気付くでしょうその背中には
But someday you will surely realize that behind you,
遥か未来めざすための羽根があること
Are the wings to reach for a distant future.

A morning will come when only you are called by the messenger of dreams.
細い首筋を月あかりが映してる
The moonlight reflects on your slender nape.
世界中の時を止めて閉じこめたいけど
I want to freeze time from around the world and trap it here,
もしもふたり逢えたことに意味があるなら
If our meeting has meaning,
私はそう自由を知るためのバイブル
I am the Bible to know such freedom.

抱きしめた命のかたちその夢に目覚めたとき
When I awaken to the shape of life I've embraced in a dream.
誰よりも光を放つ
Shining brighter than anyone else
