レンガの道の脇に割れた鉢植えと花
噴水の向こう側 幻を探す
Renga no michi no waki ni wareta hachiue to hana
Funsui no mukou soba Maboroshi wo sagasu
Beside the brick road are smashed potted plants and flowers.
I search for an illusion on the other side of the water fountain.

 

誰か止めてセーヌの流れ
思い出が流れてゆく
Dareka tomete Seine no nagare
Omoide ga nagareteyuku
Someone stop the flow of the Seine.
My memories are drifting.

 

昨日の昼間の雨で出来た大きな鏡
飛び越える勇気もなく覗き込んだ
Kinou no hiruma no ame de dekita ooki na kagami
Tobikoeru yuuki mo naku nozokikonda
I don't have the courage to leap over the large mirror made
Of yesterday's rain that I peered into.

 

小さな僕の背中の空が
いつもより大きく見えた
Chiisa na boku no senaka no sora ga
Itsumo yori ookiku mieta
The small sky at my back
Seems larger than ever before.

 

いつかきっと鳥のように
パリ中を見渡して
いつか父と同じように
国中を見渡せるのかな?
Itsuka kitto tori no you ni
Paris juu wo miwatashite
Itsuka chichi to onaji you ni
Kunijuu wo miwataseru no ka na?
Surely someday, just like a bird,
I'll look out over Paris.
I wonder if someday, just like my father,
I'll look out over the entire country?

 

誰か止めてセーヌの流れ
思い出が流れてゆく
Dareka tomete Seine no nagare
Omoide ga nagareteyuku
Someone stop the flow of the Seine.
My memories are drifting.

 

悲しいから笑っていた
嬉しいから泣いていた
悲しいから笑っていた
嬉しいから泣いていた
Kanashii kara waratteita
Ureshii kara naiteita
Kanashii kara waratteita
Ureshii kara naiteita
Because we were sad, we laughed.
Because we were happy, we cried.
Because we were sad, we laughed.
Because we were happy, we cried.

 

いつかきっと鳥のように
パリ中を見渡して
いつか父と同じように
国中を見渡せるのかな?
Itsuka kitto tori no you ni
Paris juu wo miwatashite
Itsuka chichi to onaji you ni

Surely someday, just like a bird,
I'll look out over Paris.
I wonder if someday, just like my father,
I'll look out over the entire country?
