Kanji

胸にしみる空のかがやき
今日も遠くながめ涙をながす
悲しくて悲しくて
とてもやりきれない
このやるせないモヤモヤを
だれかに告げようか

白い雲は流れ流れて
今日も夢はもつれわびしくゆれる
悲しくて悲しくて
とてもやりきれない
この限りないむなしさの
救いはないだろうか

深い森の緑に抱かれ
今日も風の唄にしみじみ嘆く
悲しくて悲しくて
とてもやりきれない
このもえたぎる苦しさは
明日も続くのか

Romaji

Translation

The sky's sparkle pierces my heart,
Today, once again, I look to the distance and cry.
It's so sad, so sad,
I can't bear it,
Shall I tell someone
About this miserable sadness?

The white clouds flow on, flow on,
Today, once again, my dreams snag and wriggle wretchedly.
It's so sad, so sad,
I can't bear it,
Is there no relief
From this endless void?

The green of the deep forest embraces me,
Today, once again, I sigh deeply with the song of the wind.
It's so sad, so sad,
I can't bear it.
Will this boiling anguish
Continue into tomorrow?
