ブルーバード (Blue Bird) lyrics

I’m posting the lyrics of this song merely because it’s nice to me, and not because it is linked to Naruto.
I have not watched one full episode of the Shippuden ‘series’…not after the terrible period of filler episodes in the first ‘series’…and the idiotic decision to introduce Sasuke right at the first episode of Shippuden (seriously…dumb-f*** move there!!).

Original lyrics taken from goo音楽.
Translation done with my own interpretation, and with reference from Stan’s, and here.

ブルーバード (Blue Bird)
Performed by: いきものがかり (Ikimono Gakari)
3rd Opening Theme of: ナルト 疾風伝
(Naruto: Shippuden)

飛翔(はばた)いたら　戻らないと言って
habataitara modoranai to itte
目指したのは　蒼い　蒼い　あの空
mezashita no wa aoi aoi ano sora

“悲しみ”はまだ覚えられず　“切なさ”は今つかみはじめた
“kanashimi” wa mada oboerarezu “setsuna sa” wa ima tsukami hajimeta
あなたへと抱く　この感情も　今“言葉”に変わっていく
anata e to idaku kono kanjou mo ima “kotoba” ni kawatte iku

未知なる世界の　遊迷(ゆめ)から目覚めて
michi naru sekai no yume kara mezamete
この羽根を広げ　飛び立つ
kono hane o hiroge tobitatsu

飛翔(はばた)いたら　戻らないと言って
habataitara modoranai to itte
目指したのは　白い　白い　あの雲
mezashita no wa shiroi shiroi ano kumo
突き抜けたら　みつかると知って
tsukinuketara mitsukaru to shitte
振り切るほど　蒼い　蒼い　あの空
furikiru hodo aoi aoi ano sora
蒼い　蒼い　あの空
aoi aoi ano sora
蒼い　蒼い　あの空
aoi aoi ano sora

愛想尽きたような音で　錆びれた古い窓は壊れた
aisou tsukita you na oto de sabireta furui mado wa kowareta
見飽きたカゴは　ほら捨てていく　振り返ることはもうない
miakita kago wa hora sutete iku furikaeru koto wa mou nai

高鳴る鼓動に　呼吸を共鳴(あず)けて
takanaru kodou ni kokyuu o azukete
この窓を蹴って　飛び立つ
kono mado o kette tobitatsu

駆け出したら　手にできると言って
kakedashitara te ni dekiru to itte
いざなうのは　遠い　遠い　あの声
izanau no wa tooi tooi ano koe
眩しすぎた　あなたの手も握って
mabushi sugita anata no te mo nigitte
求めるほど　蒼い　蒼い　あの空
motomeru hodo aoi aoi ano sora

墜ちていくと　わかっていた　それでも　光を追い続けていくよ
ochite iku to wakatte ita sore de mo hikari o oitsuzukete iku yo

飛翔(はばた)いたら　戻らないと言って
habataitara modoranai to itte
探したのは　白い　白い　あの雲
sagashita no wa shiroi shiroi ano kumo
突き抜けたら　みつかると知って
tsukinuketara mitsukaru to shitte
振り切るほど　蒼い　蒼い　あの空
furikiru hodo aoi aoi ano sora
蒼い　蒼い　あの空
aoi aoi ano sora
蒼い　蒼い　あの空
aoi aoi ano sora

Blue Bird

You say if you could fly, you’d never come back down
The thing in your eyes, is that blue, blue sky

You have yet to feel what “sorrow” is, and are now just grasping what “pain” is like
Even the feelings I have for you, must be expressed into “words”

Waking up from your dreams, and into an unknown world
Spread your wings, and fly away!

You say if you could fly, you’d never come back down
The things in your eyes, are those white, white clouds
You know if you can break through, you’ll find what you seek
So break free, and towards that blue, blue sky
Towards that blue, blue sky
Towards that blue, blue sky

With sounds which are like harsh words, you broke the aged, rusty window
Hey, discard the cage that you’ve grown so tired of looking at,
and there will be nothing left to look back on

In throbbing pulsations, your breath is resonating
Kick off the window, and fly away!

You say if you start running, you will be able to do it with your hands
The thing that’s calling out to you, is that distant, distant voice
Stronger it dazzles, the thing that you grasp in your hands
The more you seek towards the blue, blue sky

If you were to fall, I would understand
But nevertheless, continue to seek the light

You say if you could fly, you’d never come back down
The things you are searching for, are those white, white clouds
You know if you can break through, you’ll find what you seek
So break free, and towards that blue, blue sky
Towards that blue, blue sky
Towards that blue, blue sky
