Kataritsugu Koto
なみだいくつこぼれて
Namida ikutsu koborete
しんげつのよるひとつうみがうまれた
Shingetsu no yoru hitotsu umi ga umareta
とおくつむいだことば
Tooku tsumuida kotoba
かたりべたちのものがたりのなかに
Kataribe tachi no monogatari no naka ni
むかしだれかがここで
Mukashi dare ka ga koko de
はりさけそうなむねをそっとひらいた
Harisake sou na mune wo sotto hiraita
うたにかなでてずっと
Uta ni kanadete zutto
どんなばしょにもたずさえてゆけるよ
Donna basho ni mo tazusaete yukeru yo
けさないであなたのなかの
Kesa nai de anata no naka no
ともしびはつらなりいつしかかがやくから
Tomoshibi wa tsuranari itsushika kagayaku kara
かたりつぐことやつたえてゆくこと
Kataritsugu koto ya tsutaete yuku koto
じだいのうねりをわたっていくふね
Jidai no uneri wo watat te iku fune
かぜひかるきょうのひのそらを
Kaze hikaru kyou no hi no sora wo
うけついでそれをあしたにてわたして
Uketsui de sore wo ashita ni tewatashite
ゆびにがくにかみに
Yubi ni gaku ni kami ni
あなたのむこうかいまみえるおもかげ
Anata no mukou kaimami eru omokage
もしもときのながれを
Moshimo toki no nagare wo
さかのぼれたらそのひとにであえる
Sakanobore tara sono hito ni de aeru
このせかいうまれてそして
Kono sekai umare te soshite
あたえられたあらゆるなまえにねがいがある
Ataerareta arayuru namae ni negai ga aru
いとしいえがおにこころうごかして
Itoshii egao ni kokoro ugokashite
あらしにゆらいでたちどまるときも
Arashi ni yurai de tachidomaru toki mo
まもりたいすべてをささげても
Mamori tai subete wo sasage te mo
おもいはちからにすがたをかえるから
Omoi wa chikara ni sugata wo kaeru kara
かたりついでつたえてゆくこと
Kataritsui de tsutae te yuku koto
じだいのうねりをわたっていくふね
Jidai no uneri wo watatte iku fune
かぜひかるきょうのひのそらを
Kaze hikaru kyou no hi no sora wo
うけついでそれをあしたにてわたして
Uketsui de sore wo ashita ni tewatashite
Connecting Words
Tears fall like rain
On a moonlit night, a sea was born
Words gathered from afar
In the tales of the storytellers
Long ago, someone here
Gently opened a heart that felt like it might burst
Singing out loud, always
I can carry it anywhere
This morning, deep inside you
The light flickers, shining brighter over time
Connecting words and sharing stories
A boat sailing through the tides of time
The wind shines in today’s sky
Carrying it forward to tomorrow
With fingers entwined in hair
I catch a glimpse of your shadow
If I could swim against the flow of time
I could meet that person
In this world, born anew
There’s a wish tied to every name given
Your beloved smile moves my heart
Even when storms rage and I stand still
I want to protect everything, even if I give it all
Because feelings transform into strength
Connecting and sharing stories
A boat sailing through the tides of time
The wind shines in today’s sky
Carrying it forward to tomorrow
