Romaji English Original

Itsumademo taeru koto naku
Tomodachi de iyou
Asu no hi wo yume mite
Kibou no michi wo

Sora wo tobu tori no you ni
Jiyuu ni ikiru
Kyou no hi wa sayounara
Mata au hi made

Kyou no hi wa sayounara
Mata au hi made

Shinjiau yorokobi wo
Taisetsu ni shiyou
Kyou no hi wa sayounara
Mata au hi made

Mata au hi made

Let's be friends
Forever, without end
Tomorrow, we'll dream
About the path of hope

Like the birds winging through the sky
We will live freely
So long, farewell for today
Until the day we meet again

Let's treasure
The joy of trusting each other
So long, farewell for today
Until the day we meet again

Until the day we meet again

いつまでも絶えることなく
友達でいよう
明日の日を夢見て
希望の道を

空を飛ぶ鳥のように
自由に生きる
今日の日はさようなら
また会う日まで

今日の日はさようなら
また会う日まで

信じあう喜びを
大切にしよう
今日の日はさようなら
また会う日まで

また会う日まで
