English Translation

That which I can do, I want to make come true, one by one.
Let's walk step by step toward our dreams.
That which I can do, I want you to know, too.
Don't give up, spread your wings.
Now, let's fly for tomorrow. 

Even when you hold your knees to your chest, sick and tired of it all.
Don't worry, don't cry, I know you can do it.
You only need to open the door of courage a tiny bit.
Really embrace that smile and soar high into that sky!
 
That which I can do, too.
I want to keep kindness safe.
After your wipe away your tears, let's fly off to tomorrow.
 
I want these feelings to reach you, using my special magic.
I promise not to look downward anymore.
For freedom, for the future.

Japanese

Kimi no naka ni watashi o zutto bakkumaaku shite ne
Warainagara ganbatta to mechakucha homete ne
Donna toki mo zenbu honki
Gyappu ni mo odorokanaide
Tatta ima o susumanakucha
Mirai mo naidesho?
Tatakai no imi atatakai nara
Tatakainuku yo
Tatakai nado nai watashitachi no sekai no tame ni!
 
Kimi to nara kitto dekiru koto
Kokoro to kokoro de te o musunde
Unmeisen gyutto kasanetara
Yume e no kyouhansha
Doko made demo tobesou
 

English Translation

Always keep me bookmarked inside of you, okay?
Praise me lots by saying, "Good Job!" while smiling, okay?
Always be fully serious,
and don't be shocked by the gaps.
If you don't move on through the here and now.
If the point of fighting has warmth to do it,
then I'll fight to the end,
for a world for us that won't need fighting!
 
With you I'm sure I can do it.
If we firmly hold out fate lines together,
heart-to-heart and hand-to-hand,
we'll be accomplices toward our dreams
It feels like we can fly anywhere
believing in our sleeping wings
