Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hoshi ni negai wo kaze ni puraido noseta toki
Kyou ga kesenai asu ga mieru yo kitto ne...

I wish
Doushite koko ni iru no
Oshiete kudasai ima sugu
Mieru mono ga subete ja nai no ne

Samusa ni furueru kara ude toosu jaketto
Itsu no ma ni ka sukitoote itte
Kibou ni natteku

Mirai no ame ga hoho wo nuraseba omoidasu
Atsuku nare ano hi ano toki

Hoshi ni negai wo kaze ni puraido noseta toki
Kyou ga kesenai asu ga mieru yo kitto ne...

I wish
Suitchi on shitara
Koi suru koto mo dekiru to
Kinou made wa shinjiteta mirakuru

Haato wo utsusu hitomi furimukeba aru kara
Ikiteru koto suteki da yo to
Ima naraba omoeru

Mirai no ame ga machi wo nuraseba omoidasu
Kirameite ano hi ano toki

Hoshi ni negai wo kaze ni puraido noseta toki
Hora ne chiisana negai kanau yo kitto ne...

Mirai no ame ga hoho wo nuraseba omoidasu
Atsuku nare ano hi ano toki

Hoshi ni negai wo kaze ni puraido noseta toki
Kyou ga kesenai asu ga mieru yo kitto ne...
