 (スイトゥンドゥエヤ　スオディンルヤ)
 空を駈けて未来へと
  (switundoea  swodinlua)
  sora wo kakete mirai he to
     Soar up through the sky, and to the future

 ぎゅっと手を取り合いはしゃいでた丘
 今日もあの日と変わらない風のにおいがした
 ｢いにしえの思い出｣｢穢れなき瞳たち｣
 かすかに呼び戻されて交差する記憶
  gyutto te wo toriaihashaide'ta oka
  kyou mo ano hi to kawaranai kaze no nioi ga shita
  'inishie no omoide' 'kitarenaki hitomi-tachi'
  kasuka ni yobimodosarete kousa suru kioku
     We used to play up on this hill
     Hand in hand
     The same wind from back then
     Seems to be blowing today
     'Ancient memories,' 'shining eyes'
     Called back from the dimness,
     These memories are coming together

 (セイファート　クレーメル)
 大地と太陽どんな時もすべてを抱きしめた
  (seifahto  cremere)
  daichi to taiyou donna toki mo subete wo dakishimeta
     The earth and the sun embraced everything

 大切な君を守りたいよ今
 涙こぼれたらそっと風になる(エルル･ティアン･ティウトゥン)
 頑なに閉じた(トゥウムド)扉なら開けて欲しい
 さぁ飛び出して未来へと
  taisetsu na kimi wo mamoritai yo ima
  namida koboretara sotto kaze ni naru (eruerue tian tueton)
  kataku na ni tojita (toumad) tobira nara akete hoshii
  saa tobidashite mirai he to
     Right now, I want to protect my precious you
     Should my tears spill over, they'll softly turn into the breeze
     No matter how firmly shut the door, I want to open it
     So, let's fly out into the future

 憎み合う心と愛し合う心って
 同じくらい誰かのことずっと想っている
 それは鏡の中　映りこんだ自分が
 ふたつの心を持って生きてるように
  nikumiau kokoro to aishiau kokoro tte
  onaji kurai dareka no koto zutto omotte iru
  sore wa kagami no naka  utsurikonda jibun ga
  futatsu no kokoro wo motte ikite'ru you ni
     Hearts that hate and hearts that love
     Spend the same amount of time thinking of the other person
     The 'me' reflecting back from a mirror
     Seems to have both kinds of hearts

 (ブイムド)出会えた仲間はやさしさにすべてを変えて行く
  (buimdo) deaeta nakama wa yasashisa ni subete wo kaete yuku
    The friends I found will change everything with their kindness

 大切な人を守りたいよ今
 ずっとひとりきり強いふりしてた(エルイムグ･バウティア)
 ゆずれない願い(トゥウムド)重ね合わせいっしょに
 さぁ新しい未来へと
  taisetsu na hito wo mamoritai yo ima
  zutto hitorikiri tsuyoi furishite'ta (erimg bautia)
  yuzurenai negai (tooumd) kasaneawase issho ni
  saa atarashii mirai he to
     Right now, I want to protect those precious to me
     Alone, for so long, I've been pretending to be strong
     The dreams I won't give up pile together
     So, let's go toward a new future

 もしも暗闇に心とらわれて
 光　求めてる誰かがいたなら･･･
  moshimo kurayami ni kokoro torawarete
  hikari  motomete'ru dareka ga ita nara...
     Should my heart be captured by darkness
     If someone else was there searching for the light...

 大切な君を守りたいように
 この手さしだせる勇気を持ちたい(ワアエスン･エドディンエトゥ)
 大きな力を(トゥウムド)与えられた今なら
 そう旅立てる未来へと
 あの空を駈けて未来へと
  taisetsu na kimi wo mamoritai you ni
  kono te sashidaseru yuuki wo mochitai (waesun edodenetou)
  ooki na chikara wo (tooumd) ataerareta ima nara
  sou tabidate'ru mirai he to
  ano sora wo kakete mirai he to
     Wanting to protect my precious you
     I wish for a courage that I can give to others
     Right now, having been given a great power
     Yes, we'll set off for the future
     We'll soar up through the sky, and to the future
