Lyrics

Kieru hikoukigumo	We watched the fading vapor trails
Bokutachi wa miokutta	They were so dazzling
Mabushikute nigeta	I ran away
Itsudatte yowakute	I was always weak
Ano hi kara kawarazu	I let go, frustrated by the fact
Itsumademo kawarazu ni	That I couldn't stay
Irarenakatta koto	Unchanged since that day
Kuyashikute yubi wo hanasu	Couldn't stay unchanged forever
Ano tori wa mada umaku tobenai kedo	That bird still can't fly well
Itsuka wa kaze wo kitte shiru	But someday she will know the feeling of cutting through the wind
Todokanai basho ga mada tooku ni aru	The place she can't reach is still there in the distance
Negai dake himete mitsumeteru	She gazes at it, keeping her wish to herself
Kodomotachi wa natsu no senro aruku	Children walk along the summer railway tracks
Fuku kaze ni suashi wo sarashite	Exposing their bare feet to the blowing wind
Tooku ni wa osanakatta hibi wo	We place in the distance the days of our childhood
Ryoute ni wa tobidatsu kibou wo	We place in our hands hope that springs forth
Kieru hikoukigumo	Chasing, chasing
Oikakete oikakete	The fading vapor trails
Kono oka wo koeta	It hasn't changed since the day
Ano hi kara kawarazu	We crossed that hill
Itsumademo massugu ni	And never will
Bokutachi wa aru youni	So that we will always have it
Watatsumi no youna	We'll guard the strength
Tsuyosa wo mamoreru yo kitto	Of a sea god, surely
Ano sora wo mawaru fuusha no hanetachi wa	The blades of the windmill that turn in the sky
Itsumademo onaji yume miru	Always have the same dream
Todokanai basho wo zutto mitsumeteru	The dream of a bird, her wish kept to herself
Negai wo himeta tori no yume wo	Gazing at the place she can't reach
Furikaeru yaketa senro oou	I look back, the sun-baked railway tracks are hidden
Nyuudougumo katachi wo kaetemo	By stormclouds, even if they change their shape
Bokura wa oboete ite douka	May we always remember
Kisetsu ga nokoshita kinou wo	The yesterdays left behind by the seasons
Kieru hikoukigumo	Chasing, chasing
Oikakete oikakete	The fading vapor trails
Hayasugiru aizu	The signal is given too early
Futari waraidashiteru	We start laughing
Itsumademo massugu ni	So that we can always
Manazashi wa aru youni	Look straight ahead
Ase ga nijindemo	Even if it's slippery with sweat
Te wo hanasanai yo zutto	I won't let go of your hand, ever
Kieru hikoukigumo	We watched the fading vapor trails
Bokutachi wa miokutta	They were so dazzling
Mabushikute nigeta	I ran away
Itsudatte yowakute	I was always weak
Ano hi kara kawarazu	I let go, frustrated by the fact
Itsumademo kawarazu ni	That I couldn't stay
Irarenakatta koto	Unchanged since that day
Kuyashikute yubi wo hanasu	Couldn't stay unchanged forever
