Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tooku wo miteru sono manazashi wa
Kokoro no naka no koe wo kiiteru
Mada aoi tsuki wo dakishimete

Hashiri tsuzukeru kimi no tsuyosa ga
Mata atarashii tobira wo hiraku
Sugu akeru yoru wo terashidase

Tatoe hitori demo kimi no koto shinjite itai
Sonna shunkan ni kono sekai wa ugokidasu

Nani wo mitsukete yukou

Mata koko deaeru yo
Sore ga shinjitsu nara

Nani wo mitsumete iyou
Kono te wo sashidashite
Tsunkanda genjitsu wo

Let it go
