Lyrics: KOTOKO | Musical Arrangement: DECO*27 | Translation: Ramona

one morning, i woke up.
i was alone, with my old shoes on.
i was wandering across the city.

the deserted train station,
the narrow sidewalk,
the square where even the fountains had been stopped.
the lights of the city, fading away.
before them all - an angel standing.
slipping between the people coming and going,
she pierced my eyes.

in a small voice; keep on singing,
the blue bird that i found.
hey, please don’t stop; come on, sing,
my very own canary.
until dawn.

leaving everything behind,
i went there almost every day,
only my damp cage
would be waiting for my return.

without tiring, the blue bird
went on just sending out her voice.
like a shadow play,
unheard by the ordinary ones.

you coward! she scolded me.
today again, you’re only watching,
but don’t cry
your voice;
it’s only me who knows it.

now our eyes met.
did you laugh a little?
did you notice destiny?
i was waiting.
"come, come here."
i went just one step closer --

-- but without waiting a single second,
she flew away.
why? blue bird,
you are free, i knew that,
and i am also free.
from today on.
