鳥の歌 - Lia

Another song with deep meanings from a very very deep and sad but confusing anime, AIR TV. Very very beautiful anime from famous Kyoto Animations who brought us Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu and recently, Kanon. enjoy the song.

消える飛行機雲　僕たちは見送った
眩しくて逃げた　いつだって弱くて
あの日から変わらず
いつまでも変わらずにいられなかったこと
悔しくて指を離す

あの鳥はまだうまく飛べないけど
いつかは風を切って知る
届かない場所がまだ遠くにある
願いだけ秘めて見つめてる

子供たちは夏の線路　歩く
吹く風に素足をさらして
遠くには幼かった日々を
両手には飛び立つ希望を

消える飛行機雲　追いかけて追いかけて
この丘を越えたあの日から変わらずいつまでも
真っ直ぐに僕たちはあるように
海神のような強さを守れるよ　きっと

あの空を回る風車の羽根たちは
いつまでも同じ夢見る
届かない場所をずっと見つめてる
願いを秘めた鳥の夢を

振り返る灼けた線路　覆う
入道雲　形を変えても
僕らは覚えていて　どうか
季節が残した昨日を

消える飛行機雲　追いかけて追いかけて
早すぎる合図　ふたり笑い出してるいつまでも
真っ直ぐに眼差しはあるように
汗が滲んでも手を離さないよ　ずっと

消える飛行機雲　僕たちは見送った
眩しくて逃げた　いつだって弱くて
あの日から変わらず
いつまでも変わらずにいられなかったこと
悔しくて指を離す

We watched the fading vapor trails
They were so dazzling, I ran away-
I was always weak I let go, frustrated by the fact
That I couldn't stay unchanged since that day
Couldn't stay unchanged forever

That bird still can't fly well
But someday she will know the feeling of cutting through the wind
The place she can't reach is still there in the distance
She gazes at it, keeping her wish to herself

Children walk along the summer railway tracks
Exposing their bare feet to the blowing wind
We place in the distance the days of our childhood
We place in our hands hope that springs forth

Chasing, chasing the fading vapor trails
It hasn't changed since the day we crossed that hill, and never will
So that we will always have it,
We'll guard the strength of a sea god, surely

The blades of the windmill that turn in the sky
Always have the same dream
The dream of a bird, her wish kept to herself,
Gazing at the place she can't reach

I look back: the sun-baked railway tracks are hidden
By stormclouds- even if they change their shape,
May we always remember
The yesterdays left behind by the seasons...

Chasing, chasing the fading vapor trails
The signal is given too early- we start laughing
So that we can always look straight ahead,
Even if it's slippery with sweat, I won't let go of your hand, ever

We watched the fading vapor trails
They were so dazzling, I ran away- I was always weak
I let go, frustrated by the fact
That I couldn't stay unchanged since that day
Couldn't stay unchanged forever
