Blue Bird (ブルーバード, Burū Bādo) Rōmaji (TV Version)

Habata itara modoranai to itte
Mezashita no wa aoi aoi ano sora

Kanashimi wa mada oboerarezu
Setsunasa wa ima tsukami hajimeta

Anata e to idaku kono kanjou mo
Ima kotoba ni kawatteku

Michi naru sekai no yume kara mezamete
Kono hane wo hiroge tobitatsu

Habata itara modoranai to itte
Mezashita no wa aoi aoi ano sora

Tsukinuketara mitsukaru to shiite
Furikiru hodo

Aoi aoi ano sora
Aoi aoi ano sora
Aoi aoi ano sora

Blue Bird (ブルーバード, Burū Bādo)  English

You said that if you could fly,
You would never come down
You only have eyes
For the blue, blue sky

You've yet to learn what sadness is
And are now just grasping what pain is like
Even the feelings I have for you
Must be expressed in words

As you awake from a dream into an unknown world
Spread your wings and take flight!

You say if you could fly, you’d never come back down
You only have eyes for that blue, blue sky
You know if you can just make it through, you’ll find what you seek
So keep trying to break free

To that blue, blue sky
To that blue, blue sky
To that blue, blue sky

Blue Bird by Ikimono-gakari


飛翔(はばた)いたら　戻らないと言って
habataitara modoranai to itte
目指したのは　蒼い　蒼い　あの空
mezashita no wa aoi aoi ano sora

“悲しみ”はまだ覚えられず　“切なさ”は今つかみはじめた
“kanashimi” wa mada oboerarezu “setsuna sa” wa ima tsukami hajimeta
あなたへと抱く　この感情も　今“言葉”に変わっていく
anata e to idaku kono kanjou mo ima “kotoba” ni kawatte iku

未知なる世界の　遊迷(ゆめ)から目覚めて
michi naru sekai no yume kara mezamete
この羽根を広げ　飛び立つ
kono hane o hiroge tobitatsu

飛翔(はばた)いたら　戻らないと言って
habataitara modoranai to itte
目指したのは　白い　白い　あの雲
mezashita no wa shiroi shiroi ano kumo
突き抜けたら　みつかると知って
tsukinuketara mitsukaru to shitte
振り切るほど　蒼い　蒼い　あの空
furikiru hodo aoi aoi ano sora
蒼い　蒼い　あの空
aoi aoi ano sora
蒼い　蒼い　あの空
aoi aoi ano sora

愛想尽きたような音で　錆びれた古い窓は壊れた
aisou tsukita you na oto de sabireta furui mado wa kowareta
見飽きたカゴは　ほら捨てていく　振り返ることはもうない
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net ]
miakita kago wa hora sutete iku furikaeru koto wa mou nai

高鳴る鼓動に　呼吸を共鳴(あず)けて
takanaru kodou ni kokyuu o azukete
この窓を蹴って　飛び立つ
kono mado o kette tobitatsu

駆け出したら　手にできると言って
kakedashitara te ni dekiru to itte
いざなうのは　遠い　遠い　あの声
izanau no wa tooi tooi ano koe
眩しすぎた　あなたの手も握って
mabushi sugita anata no te mo nigitte
求めるほど　蒼い　蒼い　あの空
motomeru hodo aoi aoi ano sora

墜ちていくと　わかっていた　それでも　光を追い続けていくよ
ochite iku to wakatte ita sore de mo hikari o oitsuzukete iku yo

飛翔(はばた)いたら　戻らないと言って
habataitara modoranai to itte
探したのは　白い　白い　あの雲
sagashita no wa shiroi shiroi ano kumo
突き抜けたら　みつかると知って
tsukinuketara mitsukaru to shitte
振り切るほど　蒼い　蒼い　あの空
furikiru hodo aoi aoi ano sora
蒼い　蒼い　あの空
aoi aoi ano sora
蒼い　蒼い　あの空
aoi aoi ano sora
