Sajou no Yume
(Dreams Built on Sand)

Japanese

kore hodo soba ni iru no ni tsutaerarezu
tsuyoku omou hodo kotoba ga mitsukaranai

kanashii no wa unmei janakute
deai no subete ni owari ga aru koto

mikan naru mono
mezame yo yoru wo koetara
sabaku no hate ni
shinjitsu ga matteru yo kitto

higashi no sora ni sono hi ga maioritemo
himeta chikai wo kegasu koto wa dekinai

mamoru hito ga mune ni iru toki
hajimete dare mo ga tsuyoku nareru nara

kimi wo motomete ai no tame ni tatakau yo
kimi wo aishite tebanasenai jiyuu nante nai

ubugoe ageta chiisa na negai yo
sajou no yume ni owarasetari shinai

mikan naru mono
mezame yo yoru wo koetara
sabaku no hate ni
shinjitsu ga matteru

anata wo motomete ai no tame ni tatakau yo
kimi wo aishite tebanasenai jiyuu nante nai


English

As close as we are, I can't tell you
As strongly as I feel, I can't find the words

It is not one's fate to be sad
But it's true that to every meeting there is an end

You who have been rendered incomplete,
Awaken now, if you can pass through the night
At the end of the desert
The truth awaits us, for sure

Even if the sun sets in the east,
You cannot dishonor what you've vowed to yourself

When the people you wish to protect are in your heart,
if everyone could become strong for the first time...

I search for you, and I fight in the name of love
I love you, and there is no such freedom to let you go

With our first cry, we make a little wish
Dreams built on sand cannot be ended

You who have been rendered incomplete,
Awaken now, if you can pass through the night
At the end of the desert
The truth awaits us

I search for you, and I fight in the name of love
I love you, and there is no such freedom to let you go
