     [Romaji Lyrics]

suna no oka no ue de
boku wa zutto kimi no koto wo matte itanda
sora ni te wo kazashite
kaze ni wa iro ga aru tte itsuka itteta ne

ki ni shinakatta
kimi no dou demo ii tsubuyaki ni
imi ga atta
me ni mieru mono wa
sekai no ichibu datte koto
oshierareta

dakara mabuta wo tojite
boku wa miyou to shiteru
sou hontou ni taisetsu na
ano chiheisen

kanashimi nara wasurerareru kedo
ai wa nakanaka kieyashinai yo
boku ga shinde hai ni natte mo
itoshisa wa SEBUNSUKOODO

SUNIIKAA kara
shiranu ma ni tamatta omoide to
suna wo dashite
karappo ni sureba
kinou made no arukikata yori
raku darou ka

kimi wo dakishimeta toki no
taion oboete iru yo
are wa tabun kusubutta
sou jounetsu sa

yasashisa nara kyohi dekiru kedo
ai wa itsu demo ukeireru dake
fuantei na omoi no you ni
ano hi kara SEBUNSUKOODO

fuusha no hane ga
mawari
aoi sora wo
kakimazete iru
kaze wa
hikari no naka de
nani iro ni kawatta no ka
bokutachi...

kanashimi nara wasurerareru kedo
ai wa nakanaka kieyashinai yo
boku ga shinde hai ni natte mo
itoshisa wa SEBUNSUKOODO

kodoku to wa SEBUNSUKOODO

     [English Translation]

Atop a sand dune
I waited so long for you
Holding your hand up to the sky
You once said “there are colors in the wind”

I didn't think anything special of it
But there was meaning
In your mutterings
You taught me
That the things we can see with our eyes
Are only one part of the world

And so I close my eyes
And try to see it for myself
That all-important
Horizon

If I'm sad, I can forget, but
Love won't just disappear
Even if I die and turn to ash
Love is the seventh chord

Before I knew it
The memories I had collected
Spilled out to the sand from my sneakers
If they become empty
It will be easier for me to walk
Than it was yesterday

I remember the heat of your body
When I embraced you
That was probably
Yes, smoldering passion

I can reject kindness, but
I always just accept love
Like my unstable emotions
Since that day, the seventh chord

The blades of a pinwheel
Spin
Stirring up
The blue sky
What color
Has the wind become
In the light of the sun?
And us...

If I'm sad, I can forget, but
Love won't just disappear
Even if I die and turn to ash
Love is the seventh chord

Solitude is the seventh chord
