A Song Is Born

Haruka haruka suuokunenmo mae no
Tooi mukashi kono hoshi wa umareta.

Kurikaesareru rekishi no naka de
Bokura wa inochi uketsuidan da.

Watashi ni wa konna basho kara
Kono uta wo utau koto de shika
Tsutaerarenai kedo.

Mou ichido dake omoidashite
Bokura no hoshi no aru beki sugata
Soshite dou ka wasurenaide
Dou ka dou ka wasurenaide.

Kitto kitto sonna ni ooku no
Koto wa daremo nozonde nakatta.

Sorezore no hana mune ni idaite
Itsuka ookiku sakeru you ni to.

Watashi ni wa konna basho kara
Kono uta wo utau koto de shika
Tsutaerarenai kedo.

Kimi ga moshi hon no sukoshi demo ii kara
Mimi wo katamukete kurereba ureshii yo.

Mou ichido dake omoidashite
Nakinagara mo umaretsuita
Kimi no yume ya asu e kibou
Sou subete ga kono hoshi ni aru.

Watashi ni wa konna basho kara
Kono uta wo utau koto de shika
Tsutaerarenai kedo.

Kimi ga moshi hon no sukoshi demo ii kara
Mimi wo katamukete kurereba ureshii yo.

Mou ichido dake omoidashite
Bokura no hoshi no aru beki sugata
Soshite dou ka wasurenaide
Dou ka dou ka wasurenaide.

[Translation]

Long, long ago, hundreds of millions of years ago
In the distant past, this planet was born.

We lived among its repeating history
Generation by generation.

Even though the only way I can tell you
From this place
Is by singing this song.

Remember once again
What our world should look like
And try not to forget it
Try, try not to forget it.

Surely, surely nobody wished
For that many things.

We'll each hold our flowers to our hearts
Hoping that they can always be big and blooming.

Even though the only way I can tell you
From this place
Is by singing this song.

If you don't mind, just for a little while
I'd be so happy if you could turn your ear to me.

Remember once again
We cried as we were born
Your dreams and hopes for the future
Are all in this world.

Even though the only way I can tell you
From this place
Is by singing this song.

If you don't mind, just for a little while
I'd be so happy if you could lend me an ear.

Remember once again
What our world should look like
And try not to forget it
Try, try not to forget it.
