夕暮(ゆうぐ)れとこの街(まち)の匂(にお)い
The dusk and the scent of this town
染(し)みついた諦(あきら)めと希望(きぼう)
The surrender and hope soaking into it
雨(あめ)の中(なか)うつむいていた
A boy with his head bowed in the rain
少年(しょうねん)の足取(あしど)り
His footsteps
 
 
夢(ゆめ)みるよう追(お)いかけた
The girl he once pursued as if in a dream
彼女(かのじょ)はもう 月日(つきひ)におされ
Now, urged on by the passing years,
思(おも)いを胸(むね)にしまう事(こと)
Must have learned to hide her feelings
覚(おぼ)えたのでしょう
Deep in her heart
 
 
そう、ね 暗(くら)い闇(やみ)だけが
Yes, it seems only darkness
いつも僕(ぼく)を祝福(しゅくふく)してくれたよう
Has always blessed me
時(とき)に訪(おとず)れる喜(よろこ)びの日々(ひび)は
The moments of joy that come now and then
果敢無(はかな)げで 目(め)が眩(くら)む
Are fleeting and bright
 
 
ありふれた恋(こい)の中(なか)でさえ
Even ordinary love
人(ひと)は ね、輝(かがや)きを放(はな)つでしょう
Can make you shine, can't it?
ささやかに祈(いの)り思(おも)う気持(きも)ちが ほら舞(ま)う
Those tiny wishes and longings, look, they're fluttering
love is a Bird…
Love is a bird…
 
 
愛(あい)は自由(じゆう)に踊(おど)るものね
Love is something that dances freely
とどまることなど知(し)らぬ様(よう)に
As if it never learned to stay
 
 
銃声(じゅうせい)の様(よう)な雨(あめ)の音(おと)に
Exposed to rain that sounds like gunshots
さらされて 心(こころ)が騒(さわ)ぐ
My heart can't settle
生命(せいめい)の危機(きき)はもうそこに
The danger to life is already close at hand
最初(さいしょ)から共(とも)に
It's been with us from the very beginning
そっと静寂(せいじゃく)の中(なか)で
Even when I try to surrender myself
身(み)を任(まか)せていようとしても また
Quietly to the silence, still
甘(あま)く誘(さそ)うよう 行(い)き場(ば)所(しょ) 行(ゆ)く場所(ばしょ) 求(もと)めては
As if drawn by a sweet invitation, I search for a place to belong and a destination
飛(と)び立(た)つよ
Then spread my wings
 
 
ありふれた恋(こい)の中(なか)でさえ
Even ordinary love
人(ひと)は ね、輝(かがや)きを放(はな)つでしょう
Can make you shine, can't it?
ささやかに祈(いの)り思(おも)う気持(きも)ちが ほら舞(ま)う
Those tiny wishes and longings, look, they're fluttering
love is a Bird…
Love is a bird…
 
 
ありふれた恋(こい)の中(なか)でさえ
Even ordinary love
人(ひと)は ね、輝(かがや)きを放(はな)つでしょう
Can make you shine, can't it?
ささやかに祈(いの)り思(おも)う気持(きも)ちが ほら舞(ま)う
Those tiny wishes and longings, look, they're fluttering
love is a Bird…
Love is a bird…
 
 
愛(あい)は自由(じゆう)に踊(おど)るものね
Love is something that dances freely
とどまることなど知(し)らぬ様(よう)に
As if it never learned to stay
