Lyrics

utsukushii chou no hane wo mita
namae mo shirazu ni
sabaku no sakyuu wo nomihoshite mitai
kawaki no hitotsu mo shirazu ni

utsukushii chou no hane wo watashi ni tsukete
yuruyaka na sokudo de oinuite yuku

yukkuri yukkuri to akubi no karusa de
ittari kitari wo kurikaeshi nagara

utsukushii chou no hane wo mita
minikui watashi wo shirazu ni
unabara wo sen mo nomihoshite yuku
sukoshi mo michiru wo shirazu ni

utsukushii rin no kona yo chihei wo somete
arienai sokudo de oinuite yuke

hirari hirari to komore no hikari de
ittari kitari wo kurikaeshi nagara

watashi ga aruita michi mo, watashi no ashi mo
watashi ga sawatta hana mo, watashi no yubi mo
watashi ga shinu hi no asa mo, sonota no hibi mo
yuruyaka na sokudo de oinuite yuku

yukkuri yukkuri to akubi no karusa de
ittari kitari wo kurikaeshi nagara

yukkuri yukkuri to kanata e
osoru osoru to hane wo hiroge nagara

English Translation

I saw the beautiful butterfly wing,
not knowing its name.
I feel like drinking up a sand hill in the desert,
not knowing a thing about getting thirsty.

Putting the beautiful butterfly wings on me,
it gets ahead of me at a slow speed.

Slowly, slowly, with the lightness of a yawn,
while going back and forth, over and over again.

I saw the beautiful butterfly wing,
not knowing my ugliness.
It’s going to drink up a thousand of vast oceans,
not knowing a thing about getting full.

Let the beautiful scales color the horizon
and get ahead of me at an impossible speed.

Flutter lightly in dappled sunlight under a tree,
while going back and forth, over and over again.

The path I’ve walked as well as my feet.
The flowers I’ve touched as well as my fingers.
The morning of my last day as well as any other days.
It gets ahead of them all at a slow speed.

Slowly, slowly, with the lightness of a yawn,
while going back and forth, over and over again.

Slowly, slowly, into the far distance I go,
while nervously spreading the wings.
