Tabidachi no Kane ga Naru
(A Bell Rings for the Traveler)
by Sakai Mikio


Ima aruki hajimeta
aratana tobira akeru you ni
Ushinawareta daichi e
sono ashiato o kizamikome

Fukaku hageshiku kizutsukeau tabi
mayou kokoro kiete yuku
Ima naraba wakaru hazu hontou no tsuyosa o

Yume o miushinatta
jidai ya hitobito no mure
Kibou no tane o te ni
sono unmei o kirihirake

Katakuna demo ii sou jibun jishin
motto motto tsuranuite
Ubaiatta tagai no shinjitsu nigirishimeta

Hatenaki sora no kanata ni
shinjiru beki asu ga areba
Yuzurenai hokori to tomo ni
sorezore no basho e to tabidate

Rojou no katasumi ni
rinto saku na mo shiranu hana
Taemanaku fukitsukeru
riaru no kaze o uketomete

Kono yo ni aru katachi aru mono wa
itsuka subete kiete yuku
Sono toki made ikiteru akashi kazashite yuke

Hatenaki michi no mukou ni
inochi no ibuki kiku naraba
Mune ni yadoru yasashisa o
yuuki ni kaete susumeba ii

Kamida nagasu yoru mo aru
tsumetai ame ni furuenagara
Dakedo asahi wa noboru darou
atatakaku tsutsumikomu you ni

Hatenaki sora no kanata ni
shinjiru beki asu ga areba
Yuzurenai hokori to tomo ni
sorezore no basho e to tabidate

Arehateta oka o koete
susumiyukeru chikara ga aru
Michinaki michi arukidasu
sono ushiro sugata wasurenai
Tabidachi no kane ga takanaru
