君に一つ、伝えたいことがあるよ
僕もそんなに覚えてはいないけれどね
誰も見向きもしないけど、
大切なものだった気がするんだよ
"There's one thing that I want to convey to you.
Although I don't really remember it all that clearly."
"It's something that nobody really cares about, but
I feel like it was something important."

昔読んだ本に書いてあっただろ、
落書きに見えたあの街は此処に在った
"Look, it was something written in a book you read a long time ago,
that city which looked like random scribbles was actually right here, you know?"

雪解けを彩る大地に　囀る鳥たちが
始まりの街に　朝の訪れを伝える
陽の光あふれる大地に　喝采の音が響く
風が打ち鳴らす鐘の名を　知る人はない
The flock of roosters that crowed upon the land covered in snow thaws
conveyed to us the coming of dawn in the city of beginnings.
The sounds of applause once rang upon the land bathed in the light of the sun;
no one knows the name of the bell that once resounded in the air.

君によく似ていた
街を守るため、旅立つ一人はまだ少年で
この時代は誰もが、
その居場所を勝ち取る為に戦ったんだ
"He looked almost exactly like you.
The one who ventured alone to protect the city, though he was only a boy."
"Everyone in this era, you see
warred to secure the place they can return to."

それは長く遠い道程だったけど、
諦めない心が未来へと繋がった
"It was quite the long, distant journey,
but that unyielding heart is now tied to the one carrying the future."

雪解けを彩る大地を　踏みしめ帰還した
始まりの街に　朝の訪れを伝える
陽の光あふれる大地に　喝采の音が響く
風が打ち鳴らす鐘の音と　彼らは謳う
The sounds of returning footsteps upon the land covered in snow thaws
conveyed to us the coming of dawn in the city of beginnings.
The sounds of applause once rang upon the land bathed in the light of the sun;
they sang and celebrated alongside the bell that once resounded in the air.

朽葉あかく燃える大地に　遺された足跡
始まりの街に　嘗ての面影は見えず
陽の光あふれる大地に　喝采の音は消えた
古びた石碑の意味を　読み説く人はない
Though footprints remained upon the land colored in russet,
we can no longer see even a trace of what once was in the city of beginnings.
The sounds of applause have disappeared from the land bathed in the light of the sun;
no one understands the meaning of the weathered tombstone.

君に一つ、伝えたいことがあるよ
僕も最近気付いたことなんだけども
大切な記憶を忘れないために、
僕は創られたんだよ
"There's one thing that I want to convey to you.
Although it's something that I only realized recently."
"So that we do not forget our precious memories,
that is the reason why I was created."
