michitarita kokoro wo shiranu mono
one that does not know a fulfilled heart
karitateru kanata no, maboroshi ka...
an illusion of the far lands that make one move along..?
akatsuki no unabara ni kiku
I ask to the seas at daybreak
umi wa tada shizuka
the sea returns only silence

seijaku no kokoro wo michibiite
guiding the heart of silence
zeijaku na kokoro wo madowaseru
and confusing the frail, weak heart
aranami wa tsuyoki mono-e to
the harsh waves, to the strong...
nani wo miseru noka...
what do they show?

umi wo kirisaku
cutting through the seas
katayoku no taka wa
the hawk with one wing
naze? sonna nimo takaku
why does it choose to fly so high ...
sabishiku naru kaze wo erandewa
and picks the winds that make it lonely...
tobituzukeru nodarou
and continue to fly..?


hanatareta unmei seoishi mono
the one that chases after the destiny that was unfurled
sono saki wa kurayami? kagayaki ka
beyond it is the shadows? or perhaps a twinkle of light?
asayake wo sorezore wa matsu
they each wait for the sunrise
umi wa tada shizuka
the sea returns only silence

sameyaranu kokoro wo samasunoka
perhaps to awaken the heart which won't wake
sameyaranu kokoro ga yumenanoka
or is the heart which won't wake in itself a dream?
shinjitsu wa aru toki ni nagi
truth is sometimes calm and peaceful
dare mo mada shiranu...
and nobody knows as of yet...

umi ni oritatsu
landing on the ocean
katayoku no taka wa
the hawk with one wing
mada, kanashimi tsuibami
it still pecks at sadness
araburu sora osoreru koto naku
and without fear of the stormy skies
maiagaru no de arou
it is sure to rise and fly again
itsuka yakusoku no hi made...
until that promised day to come someday...
