yane no ue de sora wo aogu, hizashi wa uraraka
miageru sora karadajuu genki ga minagitteku

	On the rooftop, I look into the bright sunlight
	The sky I look up at fills me with spirit

THAT'S SO WONDERFUL! ik'terunda!
yamerarenai, akirameru da nante

	That's so wonderful! I'm alive!
	I can't stop, so I'll give up trying

tohou ni kureta kinou ni sayonara
futsufutsu to wakiagaru kono kimochi
nando demo yomigaeru   hana wo sakaseyou
omoide wa itsumo amai nige basho
dakedo tachikire   asu wo ikiru tame
shukufuku no toki wa kuru   te wo nobashite

	Say goodbye to yesterday, when I was at a loss
	I'm bubbling over with these feelings
	No matter how many times they come back, let the flowers bloom
	Memories are always a sweet refuge
	But I'll cut them off and live for tomorrow
	It's time for a blessing, hold out your hand

uruwashi no yawaraka na hada   imada te wa todokazu
me wo tojireba fukuramu IMEEJI miwaku no kajitsu

	That sweet, soft skin still hasn't reached your hand
	The image that swells when I close my eyes is the fruit of my fascination

THAT'S SO WONDERFUL! ik'terunda!
yamerarenai, sono saki wo mitai

	That's so wonderful! I'm alive!
	I can't stop, I want to see what happened before that

dotou no hibi wa tsuzuku, doko made mo
tengoku to jigoku, yukitsumodoritsu
nando demo yomigaeru, hana o sakaseyou
hashire hashire, ai wo te ni suru made
sore de kurushimu nara nozomu tokoro
shukufuku no toki wa kuru, te o nobashite

	These stormy days go on and on
	Going back and forth between heaven or hell
	No matter how many times they come back, let the flowers bloom
	Run, run, until you hold love in your hand
	So when you are troubled, hope will be there
	It's time for a blessing, hold out your hand

tohou ni kureta kinou ni sayonara
futsufutsu to wakiagaru kono kimochi
nando demo yomigaeru, hana o sakaseyou
omoide wa itsumo amai nige basho
dakedo tachi kire, asu o ikiru tame
shukufuku no toki wa kuru, te o nobashite

	Say goodbye to yesterday, when I was at a loss
	I'm bubbling over with these feelings
	No matter how many times they come back, let the flowers bloom
	Memories are always a sweet refuge
	But I'll cut them off and live for tomorrow
	It's time for a blessing, hold out your hand

te o nobashite, ryoute agete

	Hold out your hand, give me both your hands
