Lyrics (Japanese)

生きることは すれ違うことだと解っていたけれど
夢の多くは叶わないものだと気づいていたけれど
海を韓紅花に染めて
沈む夕日見つめ泣いた懐かしいあの日
星空には かささぎが精一杯羽をひろげ
織り姫と彦星の海峡に橋を架けた
あの日あの橋を渡れたなら
あなたの場所へ辿り着けただろうか
憧れて 憧れて 憧れた あなたを想いながら
諦めて 諦めた あの 時の流れに

生きることは 水のように流されてゆくことか
風のように 空に抗って吹き抜けることか
今は思い出の抽き出しに 音もなく納めた愛しい埋み火
星空には かささぎが精一杯羽をひろげ
織り姫と彦星の海峡に橋を架けた
けれどあなたと私のためには
舞い降りてくれなかったね かささぎ
切なくて 切なくて 切なくて空を見上げながら
愛しくて 愛しくて 愛しくて今も胸が痛む
憧れて 憧れて 憧れた あなたを想いながら
諦めて 諦めた あの 時の流れに

Lyrics (Romaji)

Ikiru koto wa surechigau koto da to wakatte ita keredo
Yume no ooku wa kanawanai mono da to kidzuite ita keredo
Umi wo karakurenai ni somete
Shizumu yuuhi mitsumenaita Natsukashii ano hi
Hoshizora ni wa kasasagi ga seiippai hane wo hiroge
Orihime to hikoboshi no kaikyou ni hashi wo kaketa
Ano hi ano hashi wo watareta nara
Anata no basho e tadoritsuketa darou ka
Akogarete Akogarete Akogareta Anato wo omoinagara
Akiramete Akirameta Ano toki no nagare ni

Ikiru koto wa mizu no you ni nagasarete yuku koto ka
Kaze no you ni sora ni aragatte fukinukeru koto ka
Ima wa omoide no hikidashi ni oto mo naku osameta itoshii uzumibi
Hoshizora ni wa kasasagi ga seiippai hane wo hiroge
Orihime to hikoboshi no kaikyou ni hashi wo kaketa
Keredo anata to watashi no tame ni wa
Maiorite kurenakatta ne kasasagi
Setsunakute Setsunakute Setsunakute sora wo miagenagara
Itoshikute Itoshikute Itoshikute ima mo mune ga itamu
Akogarete Akogarete Akogareta Anata wo omoinagara
Akiramete Akirameta Ano toki no nagare ni

Translation

I had always thought life was simply passing others by
I already realized that most dreams never come true, and yet...
With the ocean dyed crimson red
I watched the sinking sun and cried... How I long for those days back then
The magpies in the twilight sky stretched their wings with all their might
and bridged the strait between the weaver maiden and shepherd boy
If I had only crossed that bridge that day
would I have made it to where you are?
Longing, longing, I longed... Thinking of you
Giving up, I gave up... And let time pass us by

Is life like water... Are we carried away by the current?
Is life like the wind... Do we struggle against the sky?
The beloved banked fire burns silently, now locked away in the shelves of my memory
The magpies in the twilight sky stretched their wings with all their might
and bridged the strait between the weaver maiden and shepherd boy
But for you and I
the magpies never came flying down
How painful, painful, painful... Looking up at the heavens
I miss you, miss you, missed you... Even now my heart aches
Longing, longing, I longed... Thinking of you
Giving up, I gave up... And let time pass us by
