Kirei na Uta (Beautiful Song)
Mao Abe
Text

I’ll gently give you wings on your back while you run
And fly away with you to the far away future

Even if you can’t be relieved of that pain
Perhaps I can take your hand to guide you
When it’s too much, it’s okay to cry. Show me your weakness when you’re trying so hard

If you feel like you just want to escape from it all, let me know
I’ll give you a ticket to a faraway place nobody can step into

I’ll gently give you wings on your back while you run
And fly away with you to the far away future
A world for just the two of us with nothing to obstruct us
No matter how many times the morning comes, I won’t let go of your hand

There were even nights where you cried “this loneliness is uncomfortable” but
There is no need for you to think of living on alone

If you decide on your favorite flower, let me know
Every night I will give you a room full of that flower to keep you from getting lonely

I’ll gently give you wings on your back while you run
Don’t you feel a little lighter?
Don’t forget that you’re not alone
A world for just the two of us with nothing to obstruct us
No matter how many times the morning comes, I won’t let go of your hand

I want to put all I am, made in unclean words, into a beautiful song
I want to send it to you

I’ll gently give you wings on your back while you run
Don’t you feel a little lighter?
Don’t forget that
You’re not alone

I’ll gently give you wings on your back while you run
And fly away with you to the far away future
A world for just the two of us with nothing to obstruct us
No matter how many times the morning comes, I won’t let go of your hand
