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
信じあう よろこびを
大切にしよう
今日の日はさようなら
またあう日まで
またあう日まで
Romaji Lyrics
Itsu made mo taeru koto naku
Tomodachi de iyō
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
Shinjiau yorokobi o
Taisetsu ni shiyō
Kyō no hi wa sayōnara
Mata au hi made
Mata au hi made
English Translation
Forever, without ever breaking
Let’s stay friends
Dreaming of tomorrow
Along the road of hope
Like birds flying through the sky
Live freely
Today we say goodbye
Until the day we meet again
The joy of trusting one another
Let’s hold it dear
Today we say goodbye
Until the day we meet again
Until the day we meet again
Indonesian Translation
Selamanya, tanpa pernah putus
Mari tetap berteman
Sambil bermimpi tentang hari esok
Di jalan harapan
Seperti burung yang terbang di langit
Hiduplah dengan bebas
Hari ini kita ucapkan selamat tinggal
Sampai hari kita bertemu lagi
Sukacita saling percaya
Mari kita jaga
Hari ini kita ucapkan selamat tinggal
Sampai hari kita bertemu lagi
Sampai hari kita bertemu lagi
