Tsubasa wo Daite

Embracing Wings

Tsubasa wo Daite

In the distant sky shining bright,
はるかかなたのそらをてらす
Haruka kanata no sora wo terasu
I spread my wings, chasing the light.
ひかりをめざしはばたくけど
Hikari wo mezashi habataku kedo

Cold rain drips, soaking my wings,
つめたいあめがつばさをぬらして
Tsumetai ame ga tsubasa wo nurashite
Here I am, all alone today.
きょうもひとり
Kyou mo hitori

Like ripples in the water, I sway,
さざなみのようにゆれているよ
Sazanami no you ni yurete iru yo
In my heart, distant memories play.
こころのなかのとおいきおく
Kokoro no naka no tooi kioku

Right now, I just want to sleep,
いまはただとうめいなかぜのなか
Ima wa tada toumei na kaze no naka
Embracing wings in the gentle breeze.
しずかにねむりたいつばさをだいて
Shizuka ni nemuritai tsubasa wo daite

Searching for the fate that’s been bestowed,
たくされたうんめいゆくえさがす
Takusareta unmei yukue sagasu
A single feather drifting, it glows.
ひとひらのまいちるはね
Hito hira no maichiru hane

Someday, I know I’ll find my way,
いつかはきっとたどりつける
Itsuka wa kitto tadori tsukeru
A place to heal this lonely heart’s ache.
こどくなこころいやせるばしょ
Kodoku na kokoro iyaseru basho

The gaze that looks up reflects the pain,
みあげるひとみがうつしだしてる
Miageru hitomi ga utsushi dashiteru
Gathering pieces of sorrow like rain.
かなしみのかけらをひろいあつめて
Kanashimi no kakera wo hiroi atsumete

Eternity feels so bittersweet,
えいえんはせつなくってはてしなくって
Eien wa setsunakutte hateshinakutte
Endless longing, it’s hard to defeat.
あこがれてしまいそうで
Akogarete shimai sou de

Dreams are a mirage, quietly,
ゆめはしんきろうひそかに
Yume wa shinkirou hisokani
Even now, somewhere, they bloom delicately.
いまもどこかではかなくさいている
Ima mo dokoka de hakanaku saiteiru
