Hitotsume no kotoba wa "Yume"

nemuri no naka kara

mune no oku no kurayami wo sotto

tsuredasu no

Futatsume no kotoba wa "Kaze"

yukute wo oshiete

kamisama no ude no naka e

tsubasa wo aoru no

Tokete itta kanashii koto wo

kazoeru you ni

kin'iro no ringo ga

mata hitotsu ochiru

Mita koto mo nai fuukei

soko ga kaeru basho

tatta hitotsu no inochi ni

tadoritsuku basho

Furui mahou no hon

tsuki no shizuku yoru no tobari

itsuka aeru yokan dake

We can fly

we have wings

we can touch floating dreams

call me from so far

through the wind

in the light... 

Mittsume no kotoba wa "Hum"
mimi wo sumashitara
anata no furueru ude wo
sotto tokihanatsu

The first word was 'dream'
From the middle of sleep
which secretly accompanies
the darkness in my heart...

The second word was "wind",
directing my journey
from God's arms fanning wings.
As if counting the melting sorrows
yet another gold apple fell.

Not even looking at scenery
there is the place you're going
with merely a single life,
you struggle to reach that place.

An old magic book - moondrops -
the curtain of night
only a premonition
of meeting someday...

We can fly,
we have wings,
we can touch floating dreams
call me from so far
through the wind
in the light.

The third word was "hum"
caught by straining ears
as I softly release
your trembling arms.
