Swallow Lyrics English Translation by Azami
The poets describe spreading wings and melting spring snow. A translated line: ‘Now I’m spreading my wings and taking flight.’ They mention the sweet scent of snow and traces of yesterday’s sunlight.
Ima hane wo hiroge habataite ikuNow I’m spreading my wings and taking flight.
Haruyuki tokashinagaraAs I melt away the spring snow,
Itsu no hi ka kaoruit’ll smell sweet one day.
Awai hibi no naka de egakebaIf I can just picture it within these fleeting days,
Hadaketa hizashi to kinou no omokageThe bright sunlight and traces of yesterday remain.
Ashita wo mitsumete nagekaketa kotoba waThe words I said while looking toward tomorrow,
Uketoru suji mo naku namida wo ukabetedidn’t have a place to go as tears filled my eyes.
Doushite ima na noWhy does it have to be now?

Dore kurai namida wo nagashita no darouI wonder how many tears I’ve shed.
Dore kurai hitorikiri heya no nakaI wonder how long I’ve been alone in this room.
Ima hane wo hiroge habataite ikuNow I’m spreading my wings and taking flight.
