松任谷由実 - ひこうき雲

Yumi Matsutoya – Vapor Trail     

A white slope extends to the sky  

The shimmering heat haze embraces that child  

While nobody notices, he goes up the slope alone  

Without fearing anything, and then  

Takes off  

Yearning for the sky

Flying through the sky

The life of that child was like a vapor trail

That child used to gaze at the sky

From that high window

Before he passed away

I don’t know

No one else knows, either

We just think that he was too young

While there is happiness here

Yearning for the sky

Flying through the sky

The life of that child was like a vapor trail

Yearning for the sky

Flying through the sky

The life of that child was like a vapor trail
