Japanese & English Lyrics
Shiroi hanabira umi ni chirabari
Kimi no kage wo mezashi kasoku shiteku
Amai kami ga matowaritsuite
Fuseta mabuta
Ano yoru yakitsuita
Furikiru mashin wa Ferrari
Omoide wa kaze ni naru
Ima aoi chekkaa furaggu

White flower petals scattered across the sea
Heading after your shadow I accelerate off
Your sweet hair curling around
Your lowered eyelids
Burned into me that night
The machine I take off in is a Ferrari
My memories turn into the wind
Now a blue checkered flag

*Eikou no kanata ni boku wa tada mukau dake
   Kuchibiru ni nokoshita no wa chikai no akashi
   Asayake no mukou e hashiritsuzukeru kitto
   Anata ga mune ni kizanda kin ni kagayaku
   U no moji

*I am just going toward the distances beyond glory
  Still left on my lips is the proof of our vow
  To the other side of the morning glow I keep running, surely
  You have engraved in my heart, shining brightly with gold
  The letter U

Tsunaida te wo naze hanashita no
Ruisen kara kawaku yume no kakera
Gin no kagami umi ni nagashi
Mirai wa yudanerareta
Ima shuffle and open your mind

Why did you let go of our joined hands
Drying from my tear ducts, the broken pieces of dreams
The silver mirror floating in the sea
The future has been entrusted to it
Now shuffle and open your mind

Itsuka mata yorisou sono hi wo shinjite iru
Kuchibiru ni nokoshita no wa yakusoku no kiss
Asayake no mukou ni donna yami ga matou to
Futari de mune ni kizanda kin ni kagayaku
U no moji

Someday we will be close again, I do believe in that day
Still left on my lips is the kiss of our promise
On the other side of the morning glow, whatever darkness awaits
Together engraved in our hearts, shining brightly with gold
The letter U

*Eikou no kanata ni boku wa tada mukau dake
   Kuchibiru ni nokoshita no wa chikai no akashi
   Asayake no mukou e hashiritsuzukeru kitto
   Anata ga mune ni kizanda kin ni kagayaku
   U no moji

*I am just going toward the distances beyond glory
  Still left on my lips is the proof of our vow
  To the other side of the morning glow I keep running, surely
  You have engraved in my heart, shining brightly with gold
  The letter U
