Koiuta - Ikimonogakari

Original / Romaji LyricsEnglish Translation

habataitara modoranai to itte

mezashita no wa aoi aoi ano sora

Vowing never to return once I have taken flight,

what I aim for is that blue cerulean sky.

"Kanashimi" wa mada oboerarezu "Setsunasa" wa ima tsukamihajimeta

anata e to idaku kono kanjou mo ima "Kotoba" ni kawatteku

Having yet to remember "grief", I have begun to understand "agony".

The feelings I hold towards you are now starting to change into "words".

michi naru sekai no yume kara mezamete

kono hane wo hiroge tobitatsu

As I awaken from my wandering in this unknown world's dreams,

I spread my wings, and take off into the sky.

habataitara modoranai to itte

mezashita no wa shiroi shiroi ano kumo

tsukinuketara mitsukaru to shitte

furikiru hodo aoi aoi ano sora

aoi aoi ano sora

aoi aoi ano sora

Vowing never to return once I have taken flight,

what I aim for are those white spotless clouds.

I know very well that once I shake free from the clouds

and break through them, I'll be able to find that blue cerulean sky,

that blue cerulean sky,

that blue cerulean sky.

aisou tsukita you na oto de sabireta furui mado wa kowareta

miakita kago wa hora sutete yuku furikaeru koto wa mou nai

With a fed-up sound of annoyance, the rusty old window shattered.

Tired of looking at my cage, I'll cast it aside, and never look back.

takanaru kodou ni kokyuu wo azukete

kono mado wo kette tobitatsu

As I synchronize my breathing and throbbing heartbeat,

I kick against this window frame, and take off into the sky.

kakedashitara te ni dekiru to itte

izanau no wa tooi tooi ano koe

mabushisugita anata no te mo nigitte

motomeru hodo aoi aoi ano sora

Saying to me that I can only attain my goal if I start flying,

what allures me is that far distant voice.

Feeling dazzled, I have to grip your hand

to search for that blue cerulean sky.

ochiteiku to wakatteita soredemo hikari wo oitsuzuketeku yo

I'm aware of my eventual inevitable fall, but I must keep pursuing the light.

habataitara modoranai to itte

sagashita no wa shiroi shiroi ano kumo

tsukinuketara mitsukaru to shitte

furikiru hodo aoi aoi ano sora

aoi aoi ano sora

aoi aoi ano sora
