名も知らぬ鳥が唄う　4月の終り
何処から飛んで来たの？と　小さくつぶやいた
あの日から誰のものにも　なれないままで
あなたのぬくもり探してる私
切ない思いは　つのるだけ

翼をかりて鳥になれたら
あなたの元へ飛んでゆきたい
一瞬だけ　私見つけて
揺らめいて　陽炎のように　消えるから

遠い日に　海で拾った　貝殻ひとつ
私呼ぶ声　寄せてかえす波　聴こえてる
浅い夢　あの日と同じあなたの笑顔
流れ行く季節　はぐれたままの愛はどこへも帰れない

姿をかりて　鳥になれたら
そのてのひらに乗せて見つめて
幸せだよと　笑って欲しい
哀し気に　陽炎のように　消えるから

翼をかりて鳥になれたら
あなたの元へ飛んでゆきたい
一瞬だけ　私見つけて
揺らめいて　陽炎のように　消えるから

哀し気に　陽炎のように　消えるから

na mo shirenu tori ga utau   shigatsu no owari
doko kara tondekita no? to   chiisaku tsubuyaita
ano hi kara dare no mono ni mo   narenai mama de
anata no nukumori sagashiteru watashi
setsunai omoi wa   tsunoru dake
	A nameless bird sings   in the last days of April
	Where did you come from?   I ask quietly
	From that day, my heart could not belong to anyone else
	Searching for your warmth,
	Only the sadness grows stronger within me

tsubasa wo karite tori ni naretara
anata no moto e tondeyukitai
isshun dake   watashi mitsukete
yurameite   kagerou no you ni   kieru kara
	If I could borrow wings, if I could become a bird
	I want to fly back to you
	Because, in that instant that I found you
	Wavering like a mirage, you disappeared

tooi hi ni   umi de hirotta   kaigara hitotsu
watashi yobu koe   yosetekaesu nami   kikoeteru
asai yume   ano hi to onaji anata no egao
nagareyuku kisetsu   hagureta mama no ai wa doko e mo kaerenai
	Long ago, by the sea I picked up a shell
	I could hear my voice echoed back to me by the waves
	In a shallow dream I saw your smiling face the same way it was that day
	Now the seasons flow pass   Wandering in love, I have nowhere to return to

sugata wo karite   tori ni naretara
sono te no hira ni nosete mitsumete
shiawase da yo to   waratte hoshii
kanashige ni   kagerou no you ni   kieru kara
	If I could borrow that form, if I could become a bird
	I would land on your palm
	Because I want to laugh with happiness
	Sadly,  like a mirage,   you disappeared

tsubasa wo karite tori ni naretara
anata no moto e tondeyukitai
isshun dake   watashi mitsukete
yurameite   kagerou no you ni   kieru kara
	If I could borrow wings, if I could become a bird
	I want to fly back to you
	Because, in that instant that I found you
	Wavering like a mirage, you disappeared

kanashige ni   kagerou no you ni   kieru kara
	Sadly,  like a mirage,   you disappeared
