Pastoral Lyrics English Translation by Aimer
Kenji Ogura writes about walking and kicking pebbles together. The songwriter includes the line, ‘Let’s walk and kick pebbles along the way.’ He mentions flowers, clouds, and rain to show how small moments build lasting bonds.
Stay with me aruite yukou ishikoro o kette“Stay with me,” let’s walk and kick pebbles along the way,
Ikisaki wa kitto kimagure demoeven if our destination is bound to be whimsical.
Hana no kaori o ryoute ni kore kara deau kimi e toWith the scent of flowers in my hands, I’ll go to meet you.
Wait for me hanashi o shiyou kata o narabete“Wait for me,” let’s talk while walking side by side,
Hajimemashite wa gikochinakute moeven if our “nice to meet you” feels a little awkward.
Mochiyotta hako aketara tsumekonda yume o wakeaouOnce we open the boxes we brought, let’s share the dreams packed inside.
Mata ashita tte atarimae ni kawaseru hibi gaThese days when we can casually say, “See you tomorrow,”
Itoshikute setsunasugite omoi wa kitto kienaiare so dear yet heartbreaking, and these feelings won’t fade away.
Sora o nagareru kumo ni wa oitsukenai kedoI can’t catch up to the clouds drifting across the sky,
Ame ni natte hana o tsukete kitto boku o yonderubut they turn to rain, make flowers bloom, and I know they’re calling me.
Stand by you te o tsunagou dekoboko michi o“Stand by you,” let’s hold hands on this bumpy road,
Kimama ni yukou tsumazuite moand walk carefree, even if we stumble.
Surimuita hiza nadeteku yasashii kaze o kanjiteLet’s feel the gentle breeze soothing our scraped knees.
Pray for you sagashi ni yukou kuchibue ni notte“Pray for you,” let’s go searching, carried by a whistle’s tune,
Wakaremichi demo mata aete mowhether we reach a crossroads or meet once again.
Michibata de hiroiatsumeta kakera o itsuka tsunageyouSomeday, let’s piece together the fragments we gathered by the roadside.
Doko ni itatte atarimae ni ukabu keshiki waNo matter where I am, the scenery that naturally floats into mind
Namidashite waraiaeta kizuna wa zutto kienaiis our bond of tears and laughter, which will never vanish.
Sora o nagareru kumo ni wa oitsukenai kedoI can’t catch up to the clouds drifting across the sky,
Ame ni natte hana o tsukete kitto boku o yonderubut they turn to rain, make flowers bloom, and I know they’re calling me.
Kumo ni kakureta hoshizora wa tadorarenai kedoI can’t trace the starry sky hidden behind the clouds,
Yaki tsuketa hikari otte mada tooku e ikeru yobut chasing that imprinted light, I can go even further.
Motto tooku e ikeru yoI can go so much further.
