Marching Band

Iro no aseta e no furuboketa benchi to hanikamu shounen
Amazarashi no mama kuchihateta itsuka no kibou wo kakage you.

Sagesumu koto mo naku ogoru koto mo naku hanahiraku himawari no
Tane ni mo naranu you na mune no oku no himitsu ni sasayaka na hikari wo.

Shizumarikaeru yoru no myuujiamu
Wasurerareta itsuka no kimi wa waraun darou.

Hora darekare to naku atsumatta hiroba wo sugiru maachingu bando
Ima, hadashi no mama kakedashita shoujo ni kono kyoku wo sasage you.

Shizumarikaeru aoi puuru no
Usui maku ni utsuru sora ni tobikomu.

Hirake

Naze, nayamashiinda, bokura.

Sore ga tamashii darou
Yami wo terashite doko made mo
Ike.

Kanashiku nattari
Setsunaku nattari
Tame ikihaitari

Itsuka wa ushinau inochi wo omottari
Sore demo bokura wa iki wo shiyou

[Translation]

A worn out bench in a faded picture and a shy boy
It bears that hope which rusted away some time ago, soaked by the rain.

A sunflower blossoms without spite or extravagance
Its seeds bear a modest light, like secrets buried deep inside.

A museum of the night which fell silent
You, who was forgotten some time ago, are probably laughing right now.

Take a look, a marching band passes through a collection of spaces without an audience
Now, they dedicate this song to the girl who ran off, barefoot.

A blue pool which fell still
She flies off into the sky reflected on it's pale surface.

Open up
Your heart
What's there to feel guilty about?
Why is it so difficult for us?

Shine
With your words
Cause that's what counts
Reach out into the darkness, no matter how far
Go.

You may get sad
It may get painful
You may let out a sigh
You may become miserable
You may start thinking about mortality
But let's keep on breathing.

Open up
Your heart
What's there to feel guilty about?
Why is it so difficult for us?

Shine
With your words
Cause that's what counts
Reach out into the darkness, no matter how far
Go.
