Bird's Poem

kieru hikōkigumo bokutachi wa miokutta
mabushikute nigeta itsudatte yowakute
ano hi kara kawarazu
itsumademo kawarazu ni irarenakatta koto
kuyashikute yubi wo hanasu

ano tori wa mada umaku tobenai kedo
itsuka wa kaze wo kitte shiru
todokanai basho ga mada tōku ni aru
negai dake himete mitsumeteru

kodomotachi wa natsu no senro aruku
fuku kaze ni suashi wo sarashite
tōku ni wa osanakatta hibi wo
ryōte ni wa tobidatsu kibō wo

kieru hikōkigumo oikakete oikakete
kono oka wo koeta ano hi kara kawarazu itsumademo
massugu ni bokutachi wa aru yō ni
watatsumi no yōna tsuyosa wo mamoreru yo kitto

ano sora wo mawaru fūsha no hanetachi wa
itsumademo onaji yume miru
todokanai basho wo zutto mitsumeteru
negai wo himeta tori no yume wo

furikaeru yaketa senro ōu
nyūdōgumo katachi wo kaete mo
bokura wa oboeteite dōka
kisetsu ga nokoshita kinō wo

kieru hikōkigumo oikakete oikakete
hayasugiru aizu futari waraidashiteru itsumademo
massugu ni manazashi wa aru yō ni
ase ga nijinde mo te wo hanasanai yo zutto

kieru hikōkigumo bokutachi wa miokutta
mabushikute nigeta itsudatte yowakute
ano hi kara kawarazu
itsumademo kawarazu ni irarenakatta koto
kuyashikute yubi wo hanasu
