Lyrics Last Exile - Over the Sky

yoru no jikan ga semarikuru
anata wa konna chikaku
demo tooi...

[Nighttime draws close.
You are so near,
yet so far...]

nani ni akogarete
dare wo omou no ka
inochi kakeru sugata
sukitooru utsukushisa ni
kotoba wo nonda

[What do you desire?
Who is on your mind?
The silhouette risking life.
Seeing its transparent beauty,
I was lost for words.]

*anata ga sora wo yuku nara
watashi wa tsubasa ni naritai
donna ni tsuyoi kaze ni mo
keshite orenai
shinayaka na hane
itsuka, kitto motsu kara

[*If you take to the skies,
I want to be your wings.
No matter how strong the wind is,
they will never break,
the resilient wings.
Someday, I will have them.]

onaji yume mite sodatta ne
shiroi hana saku machi de
demo ima wa...

[We grew up with the same dreams,
on the street blooming with white flowers.
But now...]

kumoma wo kakete yuku
gin'iro no sora no fune
miagete nobashita
yubisaki wo surinuke
chiisaku kieta

[Race between the clouds,
the silver airship.
I looked up and reached,
but it slipped away from my fingertips,
so small it disappeared.]

**hatenai sora no kanata de
subete wa doko e tsudzuku darou
motomeru yasuragi no basho
tenshi ga oriru
michi wa watashi no
ude e, kitto tsudzuku yo

[**Amongst the endless clouds,
I wonder where all things are moving towards.
A desired place of tranquility.
The path of the descending angels,
surely leads into my arms.]
