kimi ga tabidatsu hi wa
itsumo to onaji 'jaane' to te wo futta
marude ashita mo mata
kono machi de au mitai ni

ai wo shinjiru no wa
jibun ni mo makenai koto
yume ga kanau hi made
egao no mama hoshi wo mite inori sasage koko ni iru kara

watashi wa kimi ni totte no sora de itai
kanashimi made mo tsutsumi konde
itsudemo miageru toki wa hitori janai to
tooku de omoeru you ni
kaeru basho de aru you ni

kimi ga inai machi de
aikawarazu ni genki de sugoshiteru
sorega ima watashi ni

jibun rashiku ite hoshii donna toki mo koko ni iru kara

namida nakusu hodo tsuyoku nakute mo ii

kaeru basho de aru you ni

kaeru basho de aru you ni

English translation

on that day you left, I just waved good bye as usuaul
as if we were to meet again in this city

to believe in love is to not lose to myself
until my wish comes true, I'll remain with a smile
and look at the stars, praying, and will be here

I want to be the sky for you
even enveloping all of your pains
whenever I look up, I want to feel
that I'm not alone even if I'm far away
let there be a place I can return to

I'm still living happily in this city without you
because I feel that that's the one thing I can do now

there's a hidden meaning to all things that happen
I hope you'll remain yourself even if your dream begins to vanish
because I'll always be here

it's okay even if you're not strong enough to erase all tears
after you rest your tired heart
wish for a better tomorrow and fall asleep
like the young children

this vast world is connected
the white clouds will flow and turn into wind to reach you

will my voice reach you?
I couldn't say those overflowing feelings for you
I want to be the sky for you
even enveloping all of your pains
whenever I look up, I want to feel
that I'm not alone even if I'm far away
let there be a place I can return to

let there be a place I can return to
