Kanji Lyrics
いつまでも 絶えることなく
友達でいよう
明日の日を夢みて
希望の道を
空を飛ぶ 鳥のように
自由に生きる
今日の日はさようなら
またあう日まで
Romaji Lyrics
Itsumademo taeru koto naku
Tomodachi de iyou
Asu no hi o yumemite
Kibō no michi o
Sora o tobu tori no yō ni
Jiyū ni ikiru
Kyō no hi wa sayōnara
Mata au hi made
English translation
Forever, without ever fading away
Let’s stay friends
Dreaming of tomorrow
Walking the path of hope
Like a bird flying through the sky
Living freely
Today we say goodbye
Until the day we meet again
Indonesian Translation
Selamanya, tanpa pernah terputus
Mari kita tetap berteman
Sambil bermimpi tentang hari esok
Menapaki jalan harapan
Seperti burung yang terbang di langit
Hidup dengan bebas
Hari ini kita ucapkan selamat tinggal
Sampai hari kita bertemu lagi
