Lyrics

anata wa doushite boku ni kokoro wo kuretan deshou
anata wa doushite boku ni me wo kaitan da
sora yori ookiku kumo wo nagasu kaze wo nomikonde
boku no manako wa mata yume wo miteta

hadashi no mama de

anata wa yukkuri to kawatte iku totemo chiisaku
sukoshi zutsu fukuramu pan wo nagameru you ni
anata wa yukkuri to hashitte iku
nagai meiro no saki mo osorenai mama de

anata wa doushite boku ni namae wo kuretan deshou
anata wa doushite boku ni te wo tsukuttan da
umi yori ookiku suna wo nagasu nami mo nomikonde
chiisana ryoute wa mada tooku wo miteta

akubi wo hitotsu

bokura wa yukkuri to nemutte iku
totemo nagaku atama no mannaka ni sodatte iku ookina ki no
nemoto wo yukkuri to aruite iku
nagai meiro no saki wo osorenai you ni

itsuka totemo oitsukenai hito ni deau no darou ka
itsuka totemo koerarenai kabe ni sukumu no darou ka
itsuka anata mo sore wo akiramete shimau no darou ka
yukkuri to kawatte iku
yukkuri to kawatte iku
yukkuri to kawatte iku

bokura wa yukkuri to wasurete iku totemo chiisaku
sukoshi zutsu kuzureru tou wo nagameru you ni
bokura wa yukkuri to nemutte iku
yukkuri to nemutte iku

anata wa yukkuri to kawatte iku totemo chiisaku
ano ki no mannaka ni sodatte iku kokage no you ni
anata wa yukkuri to hashitte iku
nagai meiro no saki mo osorenai mama de
tashika ni mayoi nagara

English Translation

I wonder why you gave me a heart
Why did you draw me a pair of eyes?
Bigger than the sky, swallowing the wind that floats the clouds
My eyes were dreaming once again

With bare feet

You’re changing slowly
Like gazing at a tiny bread plumping up little by little
You keep on running slowly
Unafraid of what lies beyond the long maze

I wonder why you gave me a name
Why did you give me a pair of hands?
Bigger than the ocean, swallowing the wave that rinses the sand
My small hands were still gazing into the distance

With a yawn

We’re falling asleep slowly
For a long time to come, walking slowly by the base of a big tree
That grows in the center of our heads
To be unafraid of what lies beyond the long maze

Someday, will we meet the one we can never catch up with?
Someday, will we flinch at a wall that we can never clear?
Someday, will you give up on it too?
Slowly changing
Slowly changing
Slowly changing

We’re losing memories slowly
Like gazing at a tiny tower collapsing little by little
We’re falling asleep slowly
Falling asleep slowly

You’re changing slowly
Like the tiny shade growing in the center of that tree
You keep on running slowly
Unafraid of what lies beyond the long maze
Losing your way sometimes, for sure
