Japanese

 * Usuzumi iro no kureyuku sora wa
 * Sasou yo, tooi hibi no nagori o
 * Osanai yume to akogare nosete
 * Hikouki kumo ga nagarete kieta
 * Moshimo toki o koete
 * Ano hi no watashi ni
 * Tsutaerareru no nara
 * Tonde ikitai
 * Osore o saa, sono chiisa na
 * Te no hira kara sotto
 * Hanashite oyari
 * Sekai wa tada matteiru no
 * Kagayaku hitomi ga arukidasu no o
 * Mishiranu machi no mishiranu hito wa
 * Eiga no you ni toorisugiru
 * Dareka watashi ni michi o oshiete
 * Yuku hazu datta, mou hitotsu no michi
 * Moshimo doa o akete
 * Tonari no sekai ni
 * Hairikomeru no nara
 * Watashi o sagasou
 * Hon no sukoshi yume o otte
 * Mawari michi o shita natsukashii hi o
 * Oboeteiru?
 * Soshite ima mo
 * Kagayaku hitomi de aruiteiru no?
 * Usuzumi iro no kureyuku sora wa
 * Sasou yo, tooi hibi no nagori o

English translation

 * The darkening ink-colored sky
 * Invites traces of distant days.
 * Carrying childhood dreams and yearnings,
 * Airplane trails flow and disappear.
 * If I crossed time
 * To the me of that day,
 * If I could tell her,
 * I'd want to fly away.
 * And as for fears, well
 * Let them fall away just so
 * From your tiny palms.
 * The world is simply waiting
 * For your shining eyes to make their debut.
 * Strange towns' unknown people
 * Pass on by as though in a movie.
 * Won't someone show me the path?
 * The one remaining path I'm expected to follow?
 * If you open the door
 * To the neighboring world,
 * If you can go inside,
 * Search for me.
 * Follow your dreams, if only a little,
 * Those nostalgic days that took roundabout routes
 * Do you remember them?
 * And are you still
 * Walking about with your shining eyes?
 * The darkening ink-colored sky
 * Invites traces of distant days.
