Why We're Here

Blue Bird Fanslation Baikanon

I've never done this song before; my familiarity with it comes from the English dub's lyrics for the American import of Naruto. However, I love Ikimono Gakari and I think this song is one of their best. It's also a blast to sing. 


Blue Bird by Ikimono Gakari

If I was a blue bird,
I would never stop flying!
I'd strive for that blue, blue sky!

I'm starting to learn what sadness is,
And I'm beginning to understand pain.
My feelings for you are starting to turn,
Into tumultuous words!

Leaving behind my old self,
Waking up from a strange dream,
I unfurl my wings and take flight!

If I was a bluebird,
I'd never stop flying!
I'd aim for,
The white, white clouds!

I know that if I break through
I'll finally find my home!
So I'll keep trying,
To break through that blue, blue sky!
That blue, blue sky!
That blue, blue sky!

A decisive noise echoed out 
And the barred window
Finally broke 
Look, I'm so sick of my cage,
That I'm leaving it in pieces!

My heart and soul 
Unite as I kick off 
Of the ground,
And I take off, 
For the sun!

I think if I fly,
I'll be able to catch it.
I'm tempted by your distant, distant voice.
I reach for your dazzling, dazzling hand,
Until I reach beyond the blue, blue sky!

Sometimes I get lost 
I'm sure you understand 
I won't give up, 
I'll follow, 
The rising sun!

If I was a blue bird,
I wouldn't ever stop flying!
I'm looking for those white, white clouds!
I'll pierce the sky, to find where I belong!
So I'll keep trying, 
Until I pierce that blue, blue sky!
To break that blue, blue sky!
To shatter that blue, blue sky!
