Softly, I wish my prayer will reach, riding the wind with a white flower
Surely, somewhere beyond the sky a star is falling, and again new life... is born...
He drifted about the dark sea
And the waves lulled the town to sleep
A requiem streams faintly from the southern island
Taking dreams and memories and desires... swallowing everything
Softly, I wish my prayer will reach, riding the wind with a white flower
I get dizzy by that sky too blue...
Clouds with a sorrowful colour flow on
Dissolved time moves on, look, like sand
One day children's laughter will return to this town
But even if they do, that child... will never return
Softly and alone, waiting for nightfall, the father quietly weeps
The sound of waves lapsing on the beach bringing only sorrow
Tears falling down, the mother runs after her child to the sea
Because the sky is coloured in deep red...
Sleep in dreams forever, live in dreams, no matter how many lights go on
Close your eyes peacefully in a sea all alone
Birds sing, greenery blooms, times flow on
But the December sky will not forget...
Give me more wind, let that child's soul rise
High on the strong wind, let it return to the heavens
Softly, I wish my prayer will reach, riding the wind with a white flower
I get dizzy by that sky too blue...
May this prayer... reach... throughout the world...
(romaji by Sefie)
sotto kaze ni notte shiroi hana to inori wo todoketai
kitto hoshi ga futte sora no kanata mata atarashii... inochi umare...

(original kanji lyrics)
そっと 風にのって 白い花と 祈りを届けたい
きっと 星が降って 空の彼方 また新しい…命生まれ…
暗い海を漂う 少年
波が唄った子守歌 街を眠らせた
南の島から かすかに流れるレクイエム
夢も想い出も 願いさえも……呑み込まれ
そっと 風にのって 白い花と 祈りを届けたい
目眩がする程青すぎたあの空…
哀しい色した雲が流れて
溶けた時間は過ぎてゆく ほら砂の様に
いつかこの街に また子供達の笑顔が
戻ったとしても あの子はもう…還らない
そっと 夜をまって 一人になって 父は静かに泣く
寄せて返す 波音ただ悲しくて…
涙散って 母は海へ あの子を追いかけて
茜色の空 流れてしまうから…
ずっと 夢に眠り 夢に生きる 幾つものともしび
誰もいない海 目を閉じ 安らかに…
鳥が唄い 縁が咲き 時代が流れても
12月の空 忘れはしないから…
もっと 風を下さい 強い風を あの子の魂が
高く昇る様に 空へ還れる様に…
風にのって 白い花と 祈りを届けたい
目眩がする程 青すぎたあの空…
世界中の…この祈り…届きます様に…
