[aquagon]

故郷へ... Kokyou e
To My Hometown...

Lyrics: Rekka Katakiri
Composition & Arrangement: HIR
Vocals & Chorus: Rekka Katakiri

胸の深くに眠れる輝きの小鳥よ
雨の日も風の日も休まず
飛び続ける　遠くへ
mune no fukaku ni nemureru kagayaki no kotori yo
ame no hi mo kaze no hi mo yasumazu
tobitsudzukeru tooku e
Oh, shining bird that sleeps on the depths of my heart.
Unrestingly, even during the rainy or windy days,
you continue flying onwards to the distance.

ある日裏切られようと
肩を落とさないで
たとえ病に倒れ伏そうと
瞳を覆わないで
おおきな翼　広げてゆこう
aru hi uragirareyou to
kata wo otosanaide
tatoe yamai ni taorefusou to
hitomi wo oowanaide
ookina tsubasa hirogeteyukou
If you are ever betrayed,
don't drop down in defeat,
and even if you collapse from a sickness,
don't cover your eyes,
and spread open your great wings.

[aquagon]

胸の深くに眠れる輝きの小鳥よ
雨の日も風の日も休まず
飛び続ける　遠くへ
mune no fukaku ni nemureru kagayaki no kotori yo

Oh, shining bird that sleeps on the depths of my heart.
Unrestingly, even during the rainy or windy days,
you continue flying onwards to the distance.

ある日裏切られようと
肩を落とさないで
たとえ病に倒れ伏そうと
瞳を覆わないで
おおきな翼　広げてゆこう
aru hi uragirareyou to

If you are ever betrayed,
don't drop down in defeat,
and even if you collapse from a sickness,
don't cover your eyes,
and spread open your great wings.

いつか夢やぶれるようと
涙流さないで
やがて世界が終り逝こうと
決して諦めないで
希望の地へ　羽ばたいてゆこう
itsuka yume yabureru you to
namida nagasanaide
yagate sekai ga owariyukou to
keshite akiramenaide
kibou no chi e habataiteyukou
Even if your dream was to be destroyed someday,
don't cry,
and even if the world was to end soon,
never give up,
and continue flapping your wings, until you reach the land of hope.

胸の深くに眠れる輝きの小鳥よ
もしも迷い　悩める時には
あの窓想い出して
mune no fukaku ni nemureru kagayaki no kotori yo
moshi mo mayoi nayameru toki ni wa
ano mado omoidashite
Oh, shining bird that sleeps on the depths of my heart.
If you ever are lost and worried,
remember that window.

ああ、ただひとつの、故郷よー
aa, tada hitotsu no kokyou yo
Ah, my only and single hometown...

[rose_mystica]

I wonder why they didn't include the hymmnos chorus in the booklet.....

[kairi_key]

I think that's because it's not in hymmnos.... that chorus....

It's more like an emotional vocal work...

[aquagon]

I think that's because it's not in hymmnos.... that chorus....

It's more like an emotional vocal work...

Or in other words, vocalization. That's the same thing I thought.

[rose_mystica]

I see. I love that chorus very much.
