AQUATIMEZ -- NIJI (RAINBOW) with Lyics in English (my favorite all time song)



It's alright. When you look up at the sky,
look, there's a seven-colored bridge.
We can finally smile together the same sky.

When we're retying our shoelace, the wind pushes us on our back.
Let's sketch a continuation of that dream beyond the light spilled from the sky.
The left side of my chest is beating excitedly with anticipation and uneasiness.
Will it really be alright? Will I be able to overcome everything?


It's alright. When you look up at the sky,
look, there's a seven-colored bridge.
After we're done crying, the bridge will arch over the sky.
Say, don't you see it in the distant sky?
I see it, too. The two identical skies
that we see will merge into one now.
We can finally smile together the same sky.

Each born under a different sky, our skies hold different memories for us.
You have your stories, as well tears that I don't know about.
Probably, in a time period when I was smiling heartily, you were weeping instead.
We might share similar joy, but for sure we don't have the same grief.


We mold our future with promises, and decorate those with words.
Surely you wanted a stable and sure future more than anyone else did.

Sad times will be sad no matter what,
but it's just like one of the seasons that come and go,
so don't rush the arrival of happiness.
It's alright, I'm right here.
It's alright, I'm not going anywhere else.
When you're ready to start running again, I'll run with you.

"Even in a world without tears, will that bridge still appear?"
The graffiti carved onto the wall looked a lot like someone's handwriting.
You once tried to build a bridge by running away from your sadness,
but now you have thrown away your umbrella and closed your eyes.

It's alright.

It's alright. When you look up at the sky,
look, there's a seven-colored bridge.
It's right in your sky, since you've finished crying.
Say, don't you see it with its bright colors?
I see it, too. The same rainbow that we see
arching over the sky is what we call our bond.
And then,
Our two skies will finally, finally, merge into one,
and we will be able to run under it together.
