[Chiisa na Hane] Chiisa na Hane (Tiny Wings)

Tori wa dore dake negatte tsubasa o te ni shitaBirds pleaded all they could to get wings
Hito wa dore dake negattara yume ga kanau no deshouIf people begged as much, would their dreams be granted?
 
Hana wa doushite yasashii kimochi o kureru noWhy do flowers give us kind feelings?
Hito wa doushite yasashisa ni namida ga dete kuru noWhy does kindness make people cry?
 
Oyasumi o aikotoba ni shiteWith 'good night' as our password
Nemuri no kuni e yukimashouLet's head for the land of sleep
 
Donna koto demo oshiete kureru mori ga aruThere's a forest there that will teach us anything
Kitto mezameta toki hito wa wasureteru dake na noSurely when they awake, people have just forgetten all of it
 
Moshi ashita te no hira niIf tomorrow you awake
Chiisa na hane nigitte me ga sameta naraClutching tiny wings in the palm of your hand
 
Sotto tobashite goran anata no ichiban noLet them fly away: they'll take you
Taisetsu na hito no tokoro e tsurete itte kureruTo the heart of the one that's most precious to you

9 Times

There're two kinds of people.
One who can only look at the horizon every day,
another who can go over it anytime. Which kind of man are you?
To stay gold all your life. To look at something faraway.
You don't be afraid of faults. You'll stand up on your own.
 
9 times. Don't throw in your hand.
9 times. Go for it right here.
Don't close your eyes any more.
Jump and drive all day.
9 times. Don't throw in your hand.
9 times. Go for it right here.
Don't close your eyes any more.
So I look forward to your winning day.
 
Anytime you'll stand on the field of dream,
You make a choice of stormy life.
Whatever troubles you may meet eight times, hold up your head.
To stay gold all your life. To look at something faraway.
You don't be afraid of faults. You'll stand up on your own.
 
(repeat)
 
Stay gold
9 times, 9 times, 9 times, 9 times
 
(repeat)
 
(repeat)
 
9 times, 9 times, 9 times, 9 times
