GUMI - Tori no Uta
текст песни

Kieru hikoukigumo boku-tachi wa miokutta
Mabushikute nigeta itsu datte yowakute
Ano hi kara kawarazu
Itsu made mo kawarazu ni irarenakatta koto
Kuyashikute yubi o hanasu

Ano tori wa mada umaku tobenai kedo
Itsuka wa kaze o kitte shiru
Todokanai basho ga mada tooku ni aru
Negai dake himete mitsumeteru

Kodomo-tachi wa natsu no senro aruku
Fuku kaze ni suashi o sarashite
Tooku ni wa osanakatta hibi o
Ryoute ni wa tobidatsu kibou o

Kieru hikoukigumo oikakete oikakete
Kono oka o koeta ano hi kara kawarazu itsu made mo
Massugu ni boku-tachi wa aru you ni
Watatsumi no you na tsuyosa o mamoreru yo kitto

Ano sora o mawaru fuusha no hane-tachi wa
Itsu made mo onaji yume miru
Todokanai basho o zutto mitsumeteru
Negai o himeta tori no yume o

Furikaeru yaketa senro oou
Nyuudougumo katachi o kaete mo
Bokura wa oboete ite douka
Kisetsu ga nokoshita kinou o

Kieru hikoukigumo oikakete oikakete
Hayasugiru aizu futari waraidashiteru itsu made mo
Massugu ni manazashi wa aru you ni
Ase ga nijinde mo te o hanasanai yo zutto

Kieru hikoukigumo boku-tachi wa miokutta
Mabushikute nigeta itsu datte yowakute
Ano hi kara kawarazu
Itsu made mo kawarazu ni irarenakatta koto
Kuyashikute yubi o hanasu

We watched the fading vapor trails
They were so dazzling, I ran away- I was always weak
I let go, frustrated by the fact
That I couldn't stay unchanged since that day
Couldn't stay unchanged forever

That bird still can't fly well
But someday she will know the feeling of cutting through the wind
The place she can't reach is still there in the distance
She gazes at it, keeping her wish to herself

Children walk along the summer railway tracks
Exposing their bare feet to the blowing wind
We place in the distance the days of our childhood
We place in our hands hope that springs forth

Chasing, chasing the fading vapor trails
It hasn't changed since the day we crossed that hill, and never will
So that we will always have it,
We'll guard the strength of a sea god, surely

The blades of the windmill that turn in the sky
Always have the same dream
The dream of a bird, her wish kept to herself,
Gazing at the place she can't reach

I look back: the sun-baked railway tracks are hidden
By stormclouds- even if they change their shape,
May we always remember
The yesterdays left behind by the seasons...

Chasing, chasing the fading vapor trails
The signal is given too early- we start laughing
So that we can always look straight ahead,
Even if it's slippery with sweat, I won't let go of your hand, ever

We watched the fading vapor trails
They were so dazzling, I ran away- I was always weak
I let go, frustrated by the fact
That I couldn't stay unchanged since that day
Couldn't stay unchanged forever

Самолёта тающий след мы глазами провожали тогда.
Он сиял и исчезал. С лёгкой грустью расплетали мы пальцы.
Недостижимое место ещё вдали остаётся
И я туда, только втайне мечтая, смотрю.
Дети идут по летней дороге.
Мечтают они, раскинув руки, подняться вверх.
Самолёта тающий след... За ним всё стремясь и стремясь,
Я достигла этой высоты. И с тех пор бывает так всегда. Постоянно.
Там впереди мы с тобою есть будто бы.
Словно у морской волны, силу сохраню я. Без сомненья
