In the somber sky, the blood-red moon flickers like a bird that lost its way home You're like a cat yowling crazily yet secretly for its friends in a remote alley
 * -|English=

What are you looking at with a hollow gaze through the window, while hugging your knees? The mirage of a love that slipped past you wasn't a wave of emotions nor was it an afterimage

How long are you going to stay there? The love that you let go of will never return

☆Take in the boundless azure sky and show me your unblemished heart Catch all of those nonstop moments for how fleeting they are Oh angel, take a breath and aim for the heavens once more Strip off your tattered wings and go do as you like

You're not some honor student nor do you want an award for perfect attendance; if you know how kind people are, then it doesn't matter whether you run away or stand still, you'll be able to start walking again from there

So live forever, the tears that you've shed were never in vain

★Dash through the endless azure sky and enthrall me with your unchanged heart Overcome the pain of the unceasing flow of time as you hold it Oh angel, breathe out and make love fall generously from above Until your wings of fate are gone, go do as you want
