shiroi sakamichi ga sora made tsuzuiteita
yurayura kagerou ga ano ko wo tsutsumu

ano ko no inochi wa hikoukigumo

sora ni akogarete sora wo kakete yuku
ano ko no inochi wa hikoukigumo

Kanji:

白い坂道が 空まで続いていた
ゆらゆらかげろうが あの子を包む
谁も気づかず ただひとり
あの子は 升っていく
何もおそれない そして舞い上がる

空に 憧れて 空を かけてゆく
あの子の命は ひこうき云

高いあの窓で あの子は死ぬ前も
空を见ていたの 今はわからない
ほかの人には わからない
あまりにも 若すぎたと
ただ思うだけ けれどしあわせ

空に 憧れて 空を かけてゆく
あの子の命は ひこうき云

空に 憧れて 空を かけてゆく
あの子の命は ひこうき云

English:

The white slope continued on to the sky

Wavering, ephemerality envelops her

Unnoticed by anyone, all alone,

She is ascending

She fears nothing, and soars up high

She admires the sky, is dashing through the sky

Vapour trails are her life

At that high window, even before her death,

She looked to the sky, and now they don’t understand

Other people don’t understand

They only think that

She was too young, but she is happy

She admires the sky, is dashing through the sky

Vapour trails are her life

She admires the sky, is dashing through the sky

Vapour trails are her life
