寄り道をして高い校舎の屋上　
yorimichi wo shite takai kousha no okujou 
Taking a detour, I went up on the rooftop of the school,

けぶる景色を見てた 
keburu keshiki wo miteta 
and looked at the hazy landscape.

色褪せた街　
iroaseta machi 
In this town full of dull colors,

赤に緑傘の色だけが映える 
aka ni midori kasa no iro dake ga haeru 
only the red and green color of my umbrella are in plain sight.

雨だれがしたたるたび 
amadare ga shitataru tabi 
Each time a raindrop falls from the sky,

雨だれに心ふるえる 
amadare ni kokoro furueru
it makes my heart shiver.

あなたが記してくれた傷跡のなぞり方を 
anata ga shirushite kureta kizuato no nazorikata wo
You made me remember the way to trace my scars in my heart.

遠くには川　
tooku ni wa kawa 
Although a train is crossing the bridge

霞む橋渡る電車揺れてもここは静か
kasumu hashi wataru densha yuretemo koko wa shizuka
over the misty river in the distance, it's still quiet over here.

届かないこと分かったときには　あなたのあの言葉 
todokanai koto wakatta toki ni wa anata no ano kotoba
When I realized I couldn't reach that place, I remembered your words.

人たちはこの空飛ぶことは叶わないけど　その代わり 
hitotachi wa kono sora tobu koto wa kanawanai kedo sono kawari 
"Mankind will never be able to fly through the sky, but instead,

いま流す涙は天に昇りまた　雨となり還る 
ima nagasu namida wa ten ni nobori mata ame to narikaeru
the tears we shed now will go up into the sky and will fall as rain once again."
