Take off!

幼い頃から鳥を見て

Osanai koro kara tori o mite

Since I was I little, I looked at birds

空を飛びたいと思ってた

sora o tobitai to omotte'ta

and thought how I'd like to fly in the sky.

いろんな所に行きたいな

Ironna tokoro ni ikitai na

I'd like to go to different places

東へ西へ

higashi e nishi e

to the east and to the west.

小さな　かばんに　たくさんの

Chiisana kaban ni takusan no

I packed my many dreams

夢を詰め込み

yume o tsumekomi

into my tiny suitcase and …

Take off! 空を駆け上がれ

Take off! Sora o kakeagare

Take off! Dash up into the sky

飛行機雲を従えて

hikōkigumo o shitagaete

leaving a vapour trail behind.

はるか彼方かなた　旅をしよう

Haruka kanata tabi o shiyō

I'll travel far and wide

まだ見ぬ世界へ

mada minu sekai e

to a world I have yet to see.

♫

ひとつの旅が終わったら

Hitotsu no tabi ga owattara

When this trip of mine is over,

帰ってくるのは　わが故郷

kaette kuru no wa waga kokyō

I'll go back to my home town.

前よりも今は少しだけ

Mae yori mo ima wa sukoshi dake

I wonder if I'll have grown

成長できたかな

seichō dekita ka na

at least a bit compared to before.

この次は　どこへ旅をしよう

Kono tsugi wa doko e tabi o shiyō

Where shall I travel to next?

胸が高鳴る

Mune ga takanaru

My heart is pounding.

Take off! 空を駆け上がれ

Take off! Sora o kakeagare

Take off! Dash up into the sky

夕焼け雲を飛び越えて

yūyakegumo o tobikoete

flying over the evening clouds.

旅は続く　そしてまた

Tabi wa tsuzuku Soshite mata

My journey continues. After that

帰るよ故郷へ

kaeru yo kokyō e

of course I'll come back home again.

Take off! 空を駆け上がれ

Take off! Sora o kakeagare

Take off! Dash up into the sky

飛行機雲を従えて

hikōkigumo o shitagaete

leaving a vapour trail behind.

はるか彼方かなた　旅をしよう

Haruka kanata tabi o shiyō

I'll travel far and wide

まだ見ぬ世界へ

mada minu sekai e

to a world I have yet to see.
