Naku koto nara tayasui keredo
kanashimi ni ha nagasarenai
koi shita koto
kono wakare sae
eranda no ha
jibun dakara
Crying is an easy thing to do but,
I won’t let myself be taken by the flow of sadness.
Falling in love
and separating
were things I myself
chose to do.
mure wo hanareta tori no youni
asu no yukisaki nado shiranai
dakedo kizutsuite
chi wo nagashitatte
itsumo kokoro no mama
tada habataku yo
Like a bird straying from the flock,
I have no idea what the future holds.
But no matter how much I hurt myself
or how much my blood spills…
I’ll continue to fly
to my heart’s content.
aoi tori
moshi shiawase
chikaku ni attemo
ano sora he
watashi ha tobu
mirai wo shinjite
anata wo wasurenai
demo kinou ni ha kaerenai
Blue Bird,
even if happiness
was right beside me,
I’ll fly
towards the sky
and believe in the future.
But I won’t forget you,
and I know I can’t go back to yesterday.
mado kara miru hikaru umi yori
nami no naka he tobikomitai
hikitometeru
ude wo hodoite
yuku beki basho
doko ka ni aru
Rather than the glistening sea outside my window,
I want to jump into it’s waves.
But I’m being held down,
let go of my hand
the place I must go to
exists somewhere else.
anata no ude no torikago ni ha
amai jikan dake ga tsumoru
dakedo akai mi wo
ima sagashi ni yuku
itsuka kono wakare wo
sou kuyandemo
In the bird-cage you’re holding,
I spent a pleasant time.
But now I have to go
and search for the Scarlet Fruit
even if one day I regret
parting with you.
aoi tori
jiyuu to kodoku
futatsu no tsubasa de
ano sora he
watashi ha tobu
harukana yume he to
kono tsubasa mogarete ha
ikiteyukenai watashi dakara
Blue Bird,
with freedom and loneliness
on both of my wings,
I’ll fly
towards the sky,
towards my distant dream.
Because I can’t live
unable to spread my wings.
aoi tori
moshi shiawase
chikaku ni attemo
ano sora de
uta wo utau
mirai ni mukatte
anata wo ai shiteta
demo mae dake wo mitsumeteku
Blue Bird,
even if happiness
was right beside me,
I’ll go and sing a song
in that sky
and face towards the future.
I loved you
but I have my eyes set forwards.
