Dear my friend, sora wo, mina yo
Ima bokura wa, onaji sora wo, miten da
Tooku, hanarete temo, onaji sekai onaji sekai
Minu sora no yo ni, bokutachi mo, dokoka tsunagatterareta nara

Dear my friend, kono kumo, tadowotte yukeba
Kimi no machi e, tsuzuiteru kana?
Say hello, kimi no, namae wo, oogoe de sora ni saken de miten da
Hontou wa, aitakute, demo yume de sae aenakute
Ano tori no yo ni, oozora wo, moshino jiyuu ni, tobeta nara
Donna ni, darou

Boku ni wa, hane ga nai kedo, kawari ni
Kono te de, kimo wo, dakishimerareru kara
Sou tsuyoku, tori tachi mo, urayamu kurai ni

Wooo

Dear my friend, kono kumo ni, tsukamaratte ireba
Kimi no, motoe e, hakon de kureru ka na?
Soshite mata itsuka, aeta nara
Kondo wa shikkari to te wo nigitte
Hagurenai yo ni, hagurenai yo ni





Like a bird, like a wind.

Overall Meaning

The song "Dear My Friend" by MIYAVI is a beautiful and touching tribute to friendship. The lyrics speak to the idea that even when separated by distance, friends can still be connected by the same sky above them. The singer addresses his friend, expressing a desire to call out and yell their name to the heavens. The song then goes on to describe a feeling of being lost and disconnected without the friend, yet still holding onto hope that they might one day be reunited.


The central metaphor used throughout the song is that of a bird in flight. The singer wonders what it would be like to soar freely through the sky like a bird or the wind. He speaks of the freedom and joy that would come with such a feeling. And yet, even more importantly, he longs to share that experience with his friend. He wishes for them to be free and to fly together.
