ROMAJI

Tasogareiro ni somaru utsuro na machi wo nuke

Hitori de aruite yuku yo sora wa tsunagatteru

Oto mo naku totsuzen fukinuketa kaze wa

Kimi no koe wo kakikeshita

Oto mo naku totsuzen furidashita ame ni

Tomatta sekai ga ugokidasu

Owari naku kurikaesu kisetsu to

Nagare yuku keshiki no naka de

Itsuka "nanimo kawaranakatta" to

Mata warau hi ga kite mo kamawanai

Ushiro ni michi wa tsukurarete yuku

Kyou mo ashita mo atarashii kaze wo sagashi

Mata, tabi ni deru

Irotoridori no tori tachi ga sugoshita

Kawaita kigi wa kaze ni nureru

Nanika kawaru to shinjite tabidatta

Ano hi wa kyou mo iroasezu ni...

Oto mo naku, totsuzen, fukinuketa kaze wa

Ichimai no kareha wo otoshita

Oto mo naku, totsuzen, furidashita ame ni

Tomatta sekai ga ugokidasu

Shiranai yuuhi to deau tabi ni

Kawaranai nanika wo mitsukeru

Oto mo naku oto mo naku furitsumoru kareha wo

Fumishime, fumishime, aruiteku

KANJI

黄昏色に染まる空ろな街を抜け

一人で歩いて行くよ

空は繋がってる

音もなく突然 吹き抜けた風は

君の声をかき消した

音もなく突然 降り出した雨に

止まった世界が動き出す

終わりなく繰り返す季節と

流れ行く景色の中で

いつか「何も変わらなかった」と

また 笑う日が来ても構わない

後ろに道は作られて行く

今日も明日も 新しい風を探し

また、旅に出る

色とりどりの鳥たちが過ごした

乾いた木々は風に濡れる

何か変わると信じて旅立った

あの日は今も色褪せずに...

音もなく、突然、吹き抜けた風は

一枚の枯れ葉を落とした

音もなく、突然、降り出した雨に

止まった世界が動き出す

知らない夕陽と出会うたびに

変わらない何かをみつける

音もなく音もなく

降り積もる枯れ葉を

踏みしめ、踏みしめ、

歩いてく

Translation

Escaping the empty city that's colored in twilight

I walk alone, the sky's connected

Suddenly the wind that blew through, without a sound

Erased your voice

Suddenly in the rain that began to come down, without a sound

The world that has ceased begins to move

Amidst the scenery that passes by

Along with the endlessly repeating seasons

Even if the day comes to laugh and and say

"Nothing changed", I don't care

A road will be created behind me

Searching for a new wind today and tomorrow

I'll set off on a journey, yet again

The multi-colored birds passed by

The dry trees are dampened by the wind

I set off believing that something would change

Even now that day hasn't faded...

Suddenly the wind that blew through, without a sound

Dropped a single dry leaf

Suddenly in the rain that began to come down, without a sound

The world that has ceased begins to move

When I meet the setting sun, that I don't know

I'll find something unchanging

Without a sound, without a sound, on the dry leaves that lie thick

I tread, I tread, I walk

(wind blows, leaf falls, without a sound)
