歩き疲れた頃に　偶然に出会ったね
言葉が少なくても　同じ瞳をしてる君
 arukitsukareta goro ni  guuzen ni deatta ne
 kotoba ga sukunakutemo  onaji me wo shiteru kimi
    We were exhausted from walking
    When we met each other by chance,
    Though your words were few,
    Your eyes had the same look as mine.

お互い過去の幻影-yume-を捨てきれず立ち止まり
ちぎれた紙飛行機　ため息で飛ばしてた
 otagai kako no yume wo sutekirezu tachidomari [1]
 chigireta kamihikouki  tameiki de tobashiteta
    Unable to throw away our dreams from the past
    We stood halted
    We were holding a tattered paper airplane up in the air
    With just the breath from our sighs.

どこまでも続く広い樹海の中　閉ざす心捨てようと　二人は誓った
 dokomademo tsudzuku hiroi jukai no naka  tozasu kokoro suteyou to
 futari wa chikatta
    Within a vast sea of trees, spreading out everywhere,
    We made a promise to one another
    To throw away our hardened hearts.

あした往く場所　どんな景色だろう
同じ太陽が　今も導いてる
 ashita yuku basho  donna keshiki darou
 onaji taiyou ga  ima mo michibiiteru
    What sights, I wonder, will you arrive at tomorrow?
    Even now, the same sun is leading us forward.

あの時　風が言ったヒトコトのその証
見えないチャンスだって　同じだけ届くんだ
 ano toki  kaze ga itta HITOKOTO no sono akashi
 mienai CHANSU datte  onaji dake todoku n'da
    The wind whispered a word as witness
    Though the chances are unknown, it will still reach you.

どこまでも続く遠い大地の上　それぞれの足跡が　道に成っている
 dokomademo tsudzuku tooi daichi no ue  sorezore no ashiato ga
 michi ni natte iru
    Upon this vast stretch of earth, spreading out everywhere,
    The footsteps made by each and every person
    Are forming into a smooth path.

キミノウタゴエ　イマモキコエル
 KIMI NO UTAGOE  IMA MO KIKOERU
    The sound of your singing,
    Even now, I can hear it.

あした往く場所　どんな景色だろう
同じ太陽が　二人照らしている
きっと誰もがたったひとりきりで
道なき道を　歌い旅している
 ashita yuku basho  donna keshiki darou
 onaji taiyou ga  futari terashite iru
 kitto daremo ga tatta hitorikiri de
 michi naki michi wo  utaitabi shite iru
    What sights, I wonder, will you arrive at tomorrow?
    The same sun is shining down on the two of us,
    Surely everyone is, on their own,
    Traveling where there once was no path, singing as they go.
