Lyrics

Japanese

Japanese Rōmaji English
きれいな音 聴いて思い出した
君が話してた いろんなこと

おしゃべりは好き でも…
でも ちょっと だけど
書いてるほうが 素直かも

飛んでゆけ 青い青い空へ
確かめにゆくんだよ
君が言ってた「言葉はつばさ」

ぼくも青い青い海で
世界を()わえる 透きとおった
あの光になれたら…なれたら!

地平線が琥珀に見えたんだ
ほんとうさ
伝えてみせるから

文字にかたどれない
こみあげる思い
紙のいっぱいまで 書いたんだ
Kirei na oto kiite omoidashita
Kimi ga hanashiteta ironna koto

Oshaberi wa suki demo...
Demo chotto dakedo
Kaiteru hō ga sunao kamo

Tondeyuke aoi aoi sora e
Tashikame ni yukunda yo
Kimi ga itteta "kotoba wa tsubasa"

Boku mo aoi aoi umi de
Sekai o yuwaeru sukitōtta
Ano hikari ni naretara...naretara!

Heikōsen ga kohaku ni mietanda
Hontō sa
Tsutaete miseru kara

Moji ni kata dorenai
Komiageru omoi
Kami no ippai made kaitanda
The melodious sound brings back the memories
Of the various stuff you've talked about

I loved to chat about, but maybe...
Just maybe if I can just
Be frank about it and write it down

I want to fly away into the blue, blue sky
Proving what you once said that
"Words are wings"

I want to sail away into the blue, blue sea
If I could only become that crystal clear light
That unites the world!

Watching the amber glow on the horizon
I'll show you
What's truly out there

All these feelings welling inside me
That I can't seem to put into words
As I pour my thoughts out onto this paper

English

English
Just a moment in time, hear the bells start to chime
When I think of your gentle voice, these words become mine

Now I write this letter with love and send you, send you, my heart today
Spoken words leave so much to say

So these words will fly and fly and fly wherever
To a place beyond the great frontier that looms before us
On the winds of hope and dreams

With your wings to guide to guide forever
Crystal skies will shine down a light when there is dark
Shine a light to guide these words to where you are

Through clouds to the deep blue sea
To an amber horizon
With lantern light to lead the way

More than words on a page
A letter straight from the soul
I write to you this letter, from my heart to yours.
