English Translation You say if you could fly, you would never come back You aimed for that blue, blue sky You've yet to remember "sadness" Just now began to grasp "pain" Even the feelings I held onto for you Are just now changing into words As you awaken from the dream of an unknown world Spread your wings and take off You say if you could fly, you would never come back You aimed for those white, white clouds If you break through, you know you'll find it So try until you break free to that blue, blue sky That blue, blue sky That blue, blue sky With a sound like all civility was gone The rusted, old window broke Look, you're so sick of looking at that cage that you're throwing it away Without ever looking back again That throbbing beat takes your breath away And you kick open that window and take off You said if you could run, you would obtain it You're tempted by that distant, distant voice It grasps your far too dazzling hand Until you pursue that blue, blue sky I understand that you are falling But still, continue to follow the light You say if you could fly, you would never come back You searched for those white, white clouds If you break through, you know you'll find it So try until you break free to that blue, blue sky That blue, blue sky That blue, blue sky
