Romaji Lyrics 				English Translation 


Hitotsume no kotoba wa yume		The first word was "dream"
nemuri no naka kara			From the middle of sleep
mune no oku no kurayami wo sotto	Which secretly accompanies 
tsuredasu no				The darkness in my heart

futatsume no kotoba wa kaze		The second word was "wind"
yukute wo oshiete 			Directing my journey
kamisama no ude no naka e 		From God's arms,
tsubasa wo aoru no 			Fanning wings

tokete itta kanashii koto wo 		As if counting
kazoeru you ni 				the melting sorrows,
kin'iro no ringo ga 			Yet another golden
mata hitotsu ochiru 			apple fell
 
mita koto mo nai fuukei			Not even looking at the scenery,
soko ga kaeru basho 			There is the place you're going
tatta hitotsu no inochi ni 		With merely a single life,
tadoritsuku basho			You struggle to reach that place
 
furui mahou no hon 			An old magic book;
tsuki no shizuku yoru no tobari		moondrops; the curtain of night--
itsuka aeru yokan dake 			Only a premonition of meeting someday

 
we can fly				We can fly
we have wings				We have wings
we can touch floating dreams		We can touch floating dreams
call me from so far			Call me from so far
through the wind			Through the wind
in the light				In the light


mittsume no kotoba wa hum... 		The third word was "hum"...
mimi wo sumashitara 			Caught by straining ears
anata no furueru ude wo 		As I softly release
sotto tokihanatsu			Your trembling arms
