Lyrics Miwako Okuda - Habataite Tori wa Kieru

boku no atama ni wa ana ga hitotsu tsumetai kaze ga fukinukeru
hontou nan'da shinjite yo
hikisakare tsukisasare kiritorare oshitsubusare
suriherasare uchikudakare
hiza o nigirishimete itami ni taero naku tame ni koe o fukuramasuna
sugaritsuku tame ni koe o furishiboruna koe o nome! koe o nome! koe o nome!
jiyuu wa kodoku no naka ni aru jiyuu wa kodoku no naka ni shika nai
boku wa jiyuu o utau boku wa kodoku o utau

There's a hole in my head; the cold wind blows through it
It's true, believe me
Torn down, pierced, cut out, crushed
Worn down, smashed
Gripping your knees, suppress your pain -- don't raise your voice to cry
Don't strain your voice to hold on -- swallow your voice! Swallow your voice! Swallow your voice!
Freedom is found in loneliness -- freedom can only be found in loneliness
I sing of freedom, I sing of loneliness

habataite tori wa kieru utatte koe wa kieru
aozora ni suikomarete kieru
itsuka boku no shousoku ga uta no katachi de todaeru to shite mo
boku wa utau boku ga boku de aru tame ni
boku wa utau boku ga kimi ni magirenai tame ni

Taking flight, the bird vanishes; its singing voice vanishes
Swallowed by the blue sky, it vanishes
Even if someday my letter in the form of a song comes to an end
I will sing, so I can be myself
I will sing, so I can't be mistaken for you

kaze ga shikaketa sensou sora wa tatakau ishi o nakushita
kumo wa kousan shita umi wa nageku bakari
boku wa shi ni makenai heya no naka wa kyoufu ni senryou sareta
nanika ga kuzureru oto ga suru
kobushi o nigirishimete fumitodomare nigeru tame ni iiwake o sagasuna
tasuke o motomeru tame ni koe o karasuna koe o nome! koe o nome! koe o nome!
ame no you ni zetsubou ga furu ame no you ni furiyamu koto wa nai
boku wa ame o utau boku wa zetsubou o utau

The sky has lost its will to fight in the war waged by the wind
The clouds have given in, the sea only grieves
I won't lose to death, though my room has been captured by fear
Something sounds as though it's crumbling
Clench your fist and stand your ground -- don't look for excuses to run away
Don't exhaust your voice calling for help-- swallow your voice! Swallow your voice! Swallow your voice!
Despair falls like the rain; unlike the rain, it won't stop falling
I sing of the rain, I sing of despair

hikigane o hiite juusei wa kieru utatte koe wa kieru
aozora ni suikomarete kieru
toki no kanata ni kieru

Pulling the trigger, the gunshot vanishes; its singing voice vanishes
Swallowed by the blue sky, it vanishes
It vanishes to the other side of time

nakiakashita yoru o komete iki o koroshita asa o komete
yoru naraba yoru no you ni asa naraba asa no you ni utae!

Feeling the nights where you cried until dawn, feeling the mornings which left you breathless
Like the night when it is night, and like the day when it is day, sing!

habataite tori wa kieru utatte koe wa kieru
aozora ni suikomarete kieru
itsuka boku no shousoku ga uta no katachi de todaeru to shite mo
boku wa utau boku ga boku de aru tame ni
boku wa utau boku ga kimi ni magirenai tame ni

Taking flight, the bird vanishes; its singing voice vanishes
Swallowed by the blue sky, it vanishes
Even if someday my letter in the form of a song comes to an end
I will sing, so I can be myself
I will sing, so I can't be mistaken for you

ぼくの頭には穴がひとつ　冷たい風が吹き抜ける

ほんとうなんだ　信じてよ

引き裂かれ　突き刺され　切り取られ　押し潰され

磨り減らされ　打ち砕かれ

膝を握り締めて痛みに堪えろ　泣くために声を膨らますな

縋り付くために声を振り絞るな

声を呑め!　声を呑め!　声を呑め!

自由は孤独のなかにある　自由は孤独のなかにしかない

ぼくは自由を歌う　ぼくは孤独を歌う

はばたいて鳥は消える　歌って声は消える

青空に吸い込まれて消える

いつかぼくの消息が　歌のかたちで途絶えるとしても

ぼくは歌う　ぼくがぼくであるために

ぼくは歌う　ぼくがきみに紛れないために

風が仕掛けた戦争　空は闘う意志を失くした

雲は降参した　海は嘆くばかり

ぼくは死に損ない　部屋のなかは恐怖に占領された

なにかが崩れる音がする

拳を握り締めて踏みとどまれ　逃げるためにいいわけを捜すな

救けを求めるために声を涸らすな

声を呑め!　声を呑め!　声を呑め!

雨のように絶望が降る　雨のように降りやむことはない

ぼくは雨を歌う　ぼくは絶望を歌う

ひきがねを引いて銃声は消える　歌って声は消える

青空に吸い込まれて消える

時の彼方に消える

泣き明かした夜を込めて　息を殺した朝を込めて

夜ならば夜のように　朝ならば朝のように　歌え!

はばたいて鳥は消える　歌って声は消える

青空に吸い込まれて消える

いつかぼくの消息が　歌のかたちで途絶えるとしても

ぼくは歌う　ぼくがぼくであるために

ぼくは歌う　ぼくがきみに紛れないために
