Vapour Trail

Lyrics & Composition: Yumi Arai

A white hill continued on to the sky
A wavering heat haze wrapped up the child
Unnoticed by anyone, all alone
they ascended
Fearing nothing, the child soared high

Yearning for the sky, now they fly through it
The child's life is now a vapour trail

From that high window, even before they died,
the child was looking at the sky. Now I just don't know
No one else knows
They merely think, "They were far
too young," but the child is happy

Yearning for the sky, now they fly through it
The child's life is now a vapour trail

Yearning for the sky, now they fly through it
The child's life is now a vapour trail

Hikoukigumo

Sakushi & Sakkyoku: Arai Yumi

Shiroi sakamichi ga sora made tsuzuite ita
Yurayura kagerou ga ano ko wo tsutsumu
Daremo kizukazu tada hitori
Ano ko wa nobotte iku
Nanimo osorenai soshite maiagaru

Sora ni akogarete sora wo kakete yuku
Ano ko no inochi wa hikoukigumo

Takai ano mado de ano ko wa shinu mae mo
Sora wo mite ita no ima wa wakaranai
Hoka no hito niwa wakaranai
Amari nimo wakasugita to
Tada omou dake keredo shiawase

Sora ni akogarete sora wo kakete yuku
Ano ko no inochi wa hikoukigumo

Sora ni akogarete sora wo kakete yuku
Ano ko no inochi wa hikoukigumo

ひこうき雲
