鳥の詩 (2005年:Lia's Cafe "Prologue" @ Shibuya O-EAST) (Live) - Lia

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
