Lyrics - Original Japanese Version

Usuzumiiro no kureyuku sora wa
Sasou yo tooi hibi no nagori wo
Osanai yume to akogare nosete
Hikoukigumo ga nagarete kieta

Moshimo toki wo koete
Ano hi no watashi ni
Tsutaerareru no nara
Tonde yukitai

Osore wo saa sono chiisa na
Te no hira kara sotto
Hanashite oyari
Sekai wa tada matteriru no
Kagayaku hitomi ga arukidasu no wo

Mishiranu machi no mishiranu hito wa
Eiga no you ni toorisugiru
Dare ka watashi ni michi wo oshiete
Yuku hazu datta mo hitotsu no michi

Tonari no sekai ni
Hairikomeru no nara
Watashi wo sagasou

Hon no sukoshi yume wo otte
Mawarimichi wo shita natsukashii hi wo
Oboeteiru?
Soshite ima mo
Kagayaku hitomi de aruiteiru no?

Usuzumi iro no kureyuku sora wa
Sasou yo tooi hibi no nagori wo

Lyrics - English Translation

The darkening sky, like watery ink
Invites remnants of distant days
Carrying childish dreams and yearnings
As the airplane clouds flow and disappear

If I could cross time
To myself on that day;
If I could be told
I'd want to soar

Come now
Softly release fear
From the palm of your small hand
Will the world simply wait
For shining eyes to wander out?

Unknown people from unknown towns
Pass by, as if in a movie
Someone tell me of the road
I should have taken; another road

If I opened the door
To the next world;
If I could enter I would find myself

Do you remember?
That dear day, when I took a detour
Chasing such a small dream?
Even now
Do we walk in shining eyes?

The darkening sky, like watery ink
Invites remnants of distant days
