Lyrics[]

Original/rōmaji

ふいにこぼれた涙 貴方だけが知っていた
優しさが溢れてる あの空のように
Fui ni koboreta namida anata dake ga shitte ita
Yasashisa ga afureteru ano sora no you ni
星達は瞬いて 次の道を描きだす
胸に秘めた思いは 抑えられない
Hoshitachi wa matataite tsugi no michi
wo egakidasu
Mune ni himeta omoi wa osaerarenai
遥かな世界目指し ここから飛びだそう
冒険の旅へと行こう
Haruka na sekai mezashi koko kara tobidasou
Bouken no tabi e to yukou
強くなれるわ きっと貴方は
いくつもの星を越え たどり着けるよ
輝きだした 勇気と共に
飛び立てる 翼広げて
Tsuyoku nareru wa kitto anata wa
Ikutsumono hoshi wo koe tadoritsukeru yo
Kagayakidashita yuuki to tomo ni
Tobitateru tsubasa hirogete
頬をするり ぬけてく 風は心をかすめて
平凡な毎日が はらりと散った
Hoho wo sururi nuketeku kaze wa kokoro
wo kasumete
Heibon na mainichi ga harari to chitta
貴方と出会ってから 歩き出した未来へと
どうして生まれたのか? 答えを知りたい
Anata to deatte kara arukidashita mirai e to
Doushite umareta no ka? Kotae wo shiritai
輝く未来目指し ここから飛び立とう
羽広げ空へと行こう
Kagayaku mirai mezashi koko kara tobitatou
Hanehiroge sora e to yukou
愛と勇気が 私を包む
見渡せば Milky Way 輝きだすよ
思い描いた夢を掴もう
解き放て 空の彼方へ
Ai to yuuki ga watashi wo tsutsumu
Miwataseba Mirukī Wei kagayakidasu yo
Omoi egaita yume wo tsukamou
Toki hanate sora no kanata e
この宇宙の片隅で 出会えた 奇跡を
信じたい 守り抜きたい
Kono sora no katasumi de deaeta kiseki wo
Shinjitai mamorinukitai
遥かな空に浮かぶ星達
一筋の道しるし 輝きだすよ
この手 合わせて 飛び立てる時
止まらない 想いのせ
羽ばたきだす 果てない永久の空へ
Haruka na sora ni ukabu hoshitachi
Hitosuji no michishirushi kagayakidasu yo
Kono te awasete tobitateru toki
Tomaranai omoi no se
Hanebatakidasu hatenai towa no sora e

Translation

Only you knew about the tears
that suddenly spilled
Like that sky overflowing with tenderness
The stars twinkle and draw my next path
I can't hold back the feelings
hidden in my heart
Aiming for a far off world, let's fly
out from here
Let's go on a journey of adventure
I'm sure you can be stronger
I can cross over many stars and reach you
I can spread my wings and take off
Together with the courage
that's begun to shine
The wind brushing my cheeks
lightly touched my heart
And the ordinary days gently dissolved
After I met you, I've begun
walking to the future
Why was I born? I want to know the answer
Aiming for the shining future, let's
take off from here
Let's spread our wings and go to the sky
Love and courage surround me
When I look around, the Milky Way
begins to shine
Let's get the dreams we imagined
Let it loose to the other side of the sky
I want to believe in, I want to protect
The miracle I met
In the corner of this sky
The stars floating in the far off sky
Being to shine with signs of one path
When we can join hands and fly away
We'll ride on these endless feelings
And flap our wings
To the endless, eternal sky

Trivia[]

  • The above lyrics show the song's original lyrics. The game's version is slightly different as the last part changes: The last verse sounds like Hoshi no umi wo wataru which translates to something like "Crossing the sea of stars".
  • The song's only official release so far is the physical Second Evolution soundtrack.[1] It was omitted from the digital version published on October 26, 2022.[2]
