Original Lyrics (Japanese) Iro aseta ao ni nijimu shiroi kumo tooi ano hi no iro Kokoro no oku no dare nimo kakushiteru itami Bokuno subete kaketa kotoba mou tooku Nakusu hibi no nakade imamo kimi wa boku wo atatameteru	English Translation The white clouds, running to faded blue, are the color of those days, The pain in the depths of my heart, I am hiding it from everyone else, The words I bet everything on has passed at this distance of time, You are warming me up even now in the days we are losing.
Kimi no koe Kimi no katachi terashita hikari kanaunara Boku no koe Dokoka no kimi todoku youni boku wa ikiteku	Your voice, The light which illuminated your figure, if I could have a wish, My voice, To deliver it to you wherever you are, that is how I want to be.
Hizashi ni yaketa reeru kara hibiku oto tooku anohi no koe Ano kumo no mukou imademo yakusoku no basho aru Itsukaraka kodoku boku wo kakomi kishimu kokoro Sugiru toki no nakade kitto boku wa kimi wo nakushite iku	The sounds from rails burned by sunlight, is the voices from those distant days, Even now beyond those clouds, the promised place exists, Before I realize it the loneliness has surrounded me, and my heart creaks, With the steady passing of time, surely I will lose you.
Kimi no kami Sora to kumo tokashita sekai himitsu ni michite Kimi no koe Yasashii yubi kaze ukeru hada kokoro tsuyoku suru	Your hair, The world where sky and clouds melt together, is a place filled with secrets, Your voice, gentle fingers, skin embraced by wind, these give my heart strength,
Itsumademo Kokoro furuwasu kimi no senaka negai wa tada Boku no uta Dokokano kimi todokimasu you boku wa ikiteku	For all time, your back which causes my heart to tremble, My only one wish is, My song, I wish it will be delivered to you wherever you are, that is how I want to be.
Kimi no koe Kimi no katachi terashita hikari kanaunara Ikiru basho Chigau keredo yasashiku tsuyoku boku wa ikitai	Your voice, The light which illuminated your figure, If I could have a wish, The places where we live, Though they are different, gently, strongly, that is what I strive to be.
