Lyrics

何を求めて雲は西へ東へ
風に吹かれて どこまでも彷徨う
nani wo motomete kumo wa nishi e higashi e
kaze ni fukarete doko made mo samayou

まだ見ぬ明日へ 光射す方へ
心の向く方へ 足跡残して
mada minu ashita e hikari sasu hou e
kokoro no muku hou e ashiato nokoshite

見失わないように 迷わないように
進んでは戻る旅路だ
時に優しく時に激しく
水は流れ河となってゆく
miushinawanai you ni mayowanai you ni
susunde wa modoru tabiji da
toki ni yasashiku toki ni hageshiku
mizu wa nagare kawa to natte yuku

あの日交わした 二人だけの約束
忘れはしない いつまでも漂う
ano hi kawashita futari dake no yakusoku
wasure wa shinai itsu made mo tadayou

こわれた方位磁石は机に置いたまま
心の向く方へ足跡を付ける
kowareta jishaku wa tsukue ni oita mama
kokoro no muku hou e ashiato wo tsukeru

道無き道を行き
雨ニモマケズ 風ニモ負ケズの旅路だ
時に愛しく 時に険しく
水は流れ河となってゆく
michi naki michi wo yuki
ame ni mo makezu kaze ni mo makezu no tabiji da
toki ni itoshiku toki ni kewashiku
mizu wa nagare kawa to natte yuku

見失わないように 迷わないように
進んでは戻る旅路だ
時に優しく時に激しく
水は流れ河となってゆく
miushinawanai you ni mayowanai you ni
susunde wa modoru tabiji da
toki ni yasashiku toki ni hageshiku
mizu wa nagare kawa to natte yuku

Translation

In search of something, the clouds go west and east
Blown by the wind, wandering anywhere

To a tomorrow yet to be seen, towards the light that shines
I leave my footprints where my heart leads me

So that I don’t lose sight of it, so that I don’t get lost
It’s a journey forward and back
Sometimes gentle, sometimes violent
Water flows and becomes a river

The promise we made that day, just the two of us
I’ll never forget it, always drifting

The broken compass is still on the desk
I make footprints where my heart leads me

Going down a trackless path
It’s a journey undefeated by the rain and the wind
Sometimes lovely, sometimes severe
Water flows and becomes a river

So that I don’t lose sight of it, so that I don’t get lost
It’s a journey forward and back
Sometimes gentle, sometimes violent
Water flows and becomes a river
