Lyrics - Original Japanese Version

Kimi to hanare kimi o shiru
Machi o dete machi o shiru you ni
Itsuka mou ichido, itsuka mou ichido
Kitto ano machi ni kaerou
Soshite mou nido to, soshite mou nido to
Kono te kara kimi o hanasanai

Omoide ni hitaru no wa
Sonna ni warui mono darou ka
Yume o ou koto ni, yume o ou koto ni
Chotto tsukareta sono toki wa
Sake ni yoishirete, sake ni yoishirete
Hitoshirezu namida o nagase yo

Kimi to hanare kimi o shiru
Machi o dete machi o shiru you ni
Itsuka mou ichido, itsuka mou ichido
Kitto ano machi ni kaerou
Soshite mou nido to, soshite mou nido to
Kono te kara kimi o hanasanai

Sora miru (Tori ya kemono ga)

Sono sora yori mo (Sono sora yori mo)
Motto utsukushii mono (Utsukushii)
Shiawase (Hito o kouru kimochi ga)
Motomete (Machi o omou kimochi wa)
Yagate itsuka wa (Yagate itsuka subete o)
Ai de uzumete shimau yo (Deau yo)

Kimi to hanare kimi o shiru
Machi o dete machi o shiru you ni
Itsuka mou ichido, itsuka mou ichido
Kitto ano machi ni kaerou
Soshite mou nido to, soshite mou nido to
Kono te kara kimi o hanasanai

Yume miru (Donna suteki na)

Machi o dete machi o shiru you ni
Itsuka mou ichido, itsuka mou ichido
Kitto ano machi ni kaerou
Soshite mou nido to, soshite mou nido to
Kono te kara kimi o hanasanai

Lyrics - English Translation

I can leave you and still know you
As I leave a town and still know it
And someday again, someday again
We'll surely go back to that town
And so never again, never again
Will I let you go from this hand

Is it really such a bad thing
To be so deeply immersed in memories?
One gets a little tired of
Following one's dreams
So one drinks oneself into oblivion
And secretly lets the tears flow

I can leave you and still know you
As I leave a town and still know it
And someday again, someday again
We'll surely go back to that town
And so never again, never again
Will I let you go from this hand

Your eyes that watch the sky
Are more beautiful than the sky itself (The eyes of birds and beasts, too
Are more beautiful than the sky itself
) Search out happiness, and one day
Bury everything with love
(Love of people, memories of towns
One day you'll meet up with it all)

I can leave you and still know you
As I leave a town and still know it
And someday again, someday again
We'll surely go back to that town
And so never again, never again
Will I let you go from this hand

Talk of dreams, too
Is just a monologue if you're alone
(No matter what kind of wonderful fairy tale
It's just a monologue if you're alone)
Since we're born in these dazzling times
Let's combine our voices and sing
(Born in an age of dancing hearts
And throbbing hearts, let's sing)

I can leave you and still know you
As I leave a town and still know it
And someday again, someday again
We'll surely go back to that town
And so never again, never again
Will I let you go from this hand
