hitotsume no kotoba wa yume
nemuri no naka kara
mune no oku no kurayami wo
sotto tsuredasu no

    The first word is dream.
    In my sleep,
    it softly steals
    the darkness from my heart.

futatsume no kotoba wa kaze
yukute wo oshiete
kamisama no ude no naka e
tsubasa wo aoru no

    The second word is wind,
    showing me my destination.
    I beat my wings and soar
    into the arms of God.

tokete itta kanashii koto wo
kazoeru you ni
kin'iro no ringo ga
mata hitotsu ochiru

    As if to count a sadness
    that has melted away,
    a golden apple
    falls once more.

mita koto mo nai fuukei
soko ga kaeru basho
tatta hitotsu no inochi ni
tadoritsuku basho

    
    To a place I have never seen:
    that is where I shall return.
    In this one life
    I will find my way.

furui mahou no hon
tsuki no shizuku
yoru no tobari
itsuka aeru yokan dake

    Books of old magic,
    a drop of moon
    on a curtain of night.
    I have but a premonition we can meet someday.

                          we can fly
                        we have wings
                 we can touch floating dreams
                      call me from so far
                       through the wind
                         in the light

mittsume no kotoba wa...
mimi wo sumashitara
anata no furueru ude wo
sotto tokihanatsu

    The third word is...
    If you listen closely,
    I will gently release
    your trembling arms.
