transliteration:
Tobikata wasureta tori no you ni
Arukikata wo wasureta boku wa
Tada hitasura hashiritsuzuketa
Nagakatta you na mijikatta you na
Sonna michinori wo ima
Furikaette nagamete miru
Sou kore ga Boku no eranda michi
Nee boku ga nokoshite kita ashiato wa sa
Ibitsu de doro darake dattari suru yo
Nee dakedo sukoshi mo kuyande nanka nai yo
Kokoro kara hokori ni omotterun da
Sou kore ga Boku no eranda michi
Nee boku ga nokoshite kita ashiato wa sa
Ibitsu de doro darake dattari suru yo
Nee dakedo sukoshi mo kuyande nanka nai yo
Kokoro kara hokori ni omotterun da
Nee ima mo umaku wa ikirenai yo
Sonna ni kiyou na boku janain da
Nee dakedo hitotsu dake ieru toshitara
Korekara mo mune wo hatte kono michi wo yukusa
Tobikata wasureta tori wa itsuka
Mou ichido habatakeru darou
Boku ga aruikidaseta you ni
ENGLISH translation:
Like a bird that
forgot how to fly
I forgot how to walk
And ran and ran
Now I look back on the road
Which I feel
Both long and short
Yes, this is the road I chose
(*) The footprints I left behind
Are distorted and muddy
But I don't regret them at all
I'm proud of them from the bottom of my heart
Yes, this is the road I chose
(*) repeat
I can't live along well as before
I'm not so tactful
But one thing I can tell you is
I keep on going this way with my head held high
A bird that forgot how to fly
Will be able to flap its wings once again
Just as I could start walking again
