Japanese	Romaji	English
僕が生まれた意味を　幾千の曲に探して	boku ga umareta imi o ikusen no kyoku ni sagashite	I searched for the meaning of my birth in thousands of songs
響く世界の音に　心をただ震わせていた	hibiku sekai no oto ni kokoro o tada furuwasete ita	and merely made my heart shiver at the sound echoing in the world.
止められない時計の針を見ていた	tomerarenai tokei no hari o mite ita	I looked at the unstoppable hand of the clock
遠い朝を待つように	tōi asa o matsu yō ni	as if waiting for a distant morning.
手放せない　果てない想い	tebanasenai hatenai omoi	The limitless feelings that I can't let go of
夜に漂い巡っていた	yoru ni tadayoi megutte ita	were wandering around in the night.
たった一度の時は繰り返し流れて	tatta ichido no toki wa kurikaeshi nagarete	A once-ever moment comes again and passes,
忘れてしまう代わりに紡いだ音の波を	wasurete shimau kawari ni tsumuida oto no nami o	and, instead of forgetting the waves of woven sound,
変わりゆく街にかき消されないように	kawariyuku machi ni kakikesarenai yō ni	so they won't be drowned out by the changing town,
いつかそれが　どこかに　誰かに　届くように	itsuka sore ga dokoka ni dareka ni todoku yō ni	so that someday, somewhere, it will reach someone:
僕は歌った　君の歌を歌った	boku wa utatta kimi no uta o utatta	I sang. I sang your song.
君が生まれた日には　いくつもの曲が生まれて	kimi ga umareta hi ni wa ikutsumo no kyoku ga umarete	The day you were born, many songs were born
響く世界の音が　未来を照らしていたのに	hibiku sekai no oto ga mirai o terashite ita no ni	and the sound echoing in the world was illuminating the future, and yet …
変えられない運命握りしめていた	kaerarenai unmei nigirishimete ita	I gripped onto my unchangeable fate
粉々になる程に	konagona ni naru hodo ni	to the point where it would shatter.
変わっていく　かすれた声で叫んだ	kawatte yuku kasureta koe de sakenda	With a hoarse, changing voice
壊れそうな夢を	kowaresō na yume o	I shouted out a fragile dream.
たったひとりの君は繰り返しうつむいて	tatta hitori no kimi wa kurikaeshi utsumuite	The one and only you came again and hung your head
他の誰かの代わりになろうともがいていた	hoka no dareka no kawari ni narō to mogaite ita	and struggled with trying to replace someone else.
届かない空の向こうに手を伸ばすように	todokanai sora no mukō ni te o nobasu yō ni	Like extending your hand to beyond the unreachable sky,
いつか　かけがえのないもの掴み取れるように	itsuka kakegae no nai mono tsukamitoreru yō ni	so that one day you can grab hold of something irreplaceable:
君に歌った　君の歌を歌った	kimi ni utatta kimi no uta o utatta	I sang to you. I sang your song.
たった一度の時は繰り返し流れて	tatta ichido no toki wa kurikaeshi nagarete	A once-ever moment comes again and passes,
忘れてしまう代わりに紡いだ音の波を	wasurete shimau kawari ni tsumuida oto no nami o	and, instead of forgetting the waves of woven sound,
変わりゆく街にかき消されないように	kawariyuku machi ni kakikesarenai yō ni	so they won't be drowned out by the changing town,
いつかそれが　どこかに　誰かに　届くように	itsuka sore ga dokoka ni dareka ni todoku yō ni	so that someday, somewhere, it will reach someone:
たったひとつの歌に込められた想いが	tatta hitotsu no uta ni komerareta omoi ga	The feelings put into a single song,
いつか色褪せて忘れられていく想いが	itsuka iroasete wa surerarete yuku omoi ga	the feelings that will someday be forgotten, their colours faded,
移りゆく日々に嘘にならないように	utsuriyuku hibi ni uso ni naranai yō ni	so that they will not become lies in the passage of days,
いつかそれを君がまた取り戻せるように	itsuka sore o kimi ga mata torimodoseru yō ni	so that someday you can get them back:
僕は歌った　君の歌を歌った	boku wa utatta kimi no uta o utatta	I sang. I sang your song.
僕は歌を歌った　君の歌を歌った	boku wa uta o utatta kimi no uta o utatta	I sang a song. I sang your song.
