空のカーテン (Sora no kaaten) – Sky’s curtain
from Bokura no century single.
——
Pour yesterday’s failures into a cup of tea and drink it down
Turn off the TV showing the morning news, open the door, come, let’s walk out
In front of the classroom, the same girl’s voice saying “good morning” with the same expression
Never change, even after countless thousands of years, it’s a promise
Wishing for these days to last forever
The sky’s curtain connects countless winters together
After clear skies, a sigh, white and climbing high
The earth spins round and round
Don’t worry, progress, you are who you are
Through our mobile phones
Making sure of tomorrow
Let anxiety be buried under the snow
“Dream, be realistic” Which one is right, teacher?
I want to believe, hey
The dawn moon gives a thin smile
Without knowing the meaning of goodbye
The sound of my heart aligns with the clock
Moving my pointers, tick-tock tick-tock, again today
The sky’s curtain connects various presents together
After clear skies, tears, changing into signals
The earth spins round and round
I’m not lonely, we’re all in this winter together
Memories raging with swooshing sounds
The cracks in your heart hurt sometimes, right?
It’s ok to cry, but don’t run away
What you can see is the morning sun, the future
Ding-dong-dang ding-dong-dang, let my voice soar
Ding-dong-dang ding-dong-dang
Before I become an adult, I want to laugh more
I want to feel excitement, want to make my dreams come true
The words spoken at the library aren’t enough to tell of real pain
Nor of beginnings and ends, though spring comes every year without fail
Which path at the crossroads will lead to my goal?
It’s alright, we’ll stop and go, we can always turn back and start over again
The sky’s curtain connects countless winters together
After clear skies, a sigh, white and climbing high
The earth spins round and round
Don’t worry, progress, you are who you are
Memories raging with swooshing sounds
The cracks in your heart hurt sometimes, right?
It’s ok to cry, but don’t run away
What you can see is the morning sun, the future
Run, run
With the baton, I’m right here now
Ding-dong-dang ding-dong
My heartbeat, ding-dong-dang
Winter has come
