Kanji:

静かな深い森に　聞こえてくるでしょう

しんしん雪は積もり　透明な音の歌声

空へと強く願う　誰かへの思い

涙はやがて雪に　手のひらへそっと運んで

降り落ちる雪のひとひらに

祈りを込めて

人の世の命の輝き　満ちるように

ひとつの願いは生きてくために

希望のこの歌を

溶けてゆく雪のひとひらに

祈りを込めて

消えかける命の行方を　見守るように

はかない願いも生きてくために

希望のこの歌を

静かな蒼い森に　歌は咲くでしょう

綺麗な心に響く　透明な音の歌声

空へと強く願う　誰かへの思い

涙はやがて雪に　手のひらへそっと運んで優しく


English:

Deep in the quiet forest, you surely can hear

snow piling up, a clear voices's song
a strong request heavenward towards someone
Tears eventually fall into the snow, quietly carried to the palm of your hand

Fallen snowflakes
with a prayer
to live one's life fully
one wish to remain alive
the hope of this song

melting snowflakes
with a prayer
to protect a lost life
a fleeting wish to live
the hope of this song

in the quiet green forest a song certainly blooms
the echo of a beautiful heart, the clear sound of a singing voice
a strong request heavenward towards someone

tears eventually fall in the snow, quietly and kindly carried to the palm of your hand
