Lyricist: Jirou
Composer: Makoto
Arranger: Kusu Kusu

mimi o sumaseba   mienai tooku
utatte-iru   koe ga kikoeru

If you listen closely, far out of sight
you can hear singing voices.

kono machi no naka   ano koe o dasu
kikai nante   mienai nai yo

In this city, the machine sending those voices,
you can't see it, not at all!

ano koe ga koko made   todokazu ni   kaki-kesareta kara
kikoenai   ano suki-tootta uta

Those voices never reached as far as here; since they were wiped out,
you can't hear that clear song.

kikoete-kuru yo   chiisa-na oto ga
kimi no tonari   me to hana no saki

Listen there!  A little sound--
next to your eyes and the tip of your nose

afure-dasu n da   midori no oto ga
dareka ga   jama sae shinakerya

The verdant sound starts to overflow,
so long as no one obstructs it.

kimi mo hitotsu no oto   hiroi daichi no ue ni umareta
kaero-o yo   ano oto no naka e

You too, are a single sound born on this wide world.
Let's return!  Into that sound!

natsukashii   yama no jinari de   RIZUMU kizameba   odotte-iru chikyuu ga mieru
dekkaku aoku   takaku hibike yo   chikyuu OOKESUTORA

Fondly-remembered   If you mark the rhythm with the rumbling mountains, you can see the dancing earth
resound vast, blue, and high,   Earth orchestra.

daisuki-na   ano uta ni   kakomarete   itai na

By that well-loved song, I want to be enveloped.

hora ne
yama no jinari de   RIZUMU kizameba   odotte-iru chikyuu ga mieru
dekkaku aoku   takaku hibike yo   chikyuu OOKESUTORA

Look
If you mark the rhythm with the rumbling mountains, you can see the dancing earth
resound vast, blue, and high,   Earth orchestra.

kimi mo
yama no jinari de   RIZUMU kizameba   odotte-iru chikyuu ga mieru
dekkaku aoku   takaku hibike yo   chikyuu OOKESUTORA

You too,
If you mark the rhythm with the rumbling mountains, you can see the dancing earth
resound vast, blue, and high,   Earth orchestra.
