Stratosphere (translation) Performed by: Mizuki Nana Lyrics: Matsui Gorō Composition: BOUNCEBACK Arrangement: ats-

ふいにひどい嵐が来なければ あの　空を憎まない いつも　そばに　いてくれる誰かを なぜ　時は　また奪う   必ず　来る　明日など ないかも　しれないと　泣いたね だけど胸を巡る 朝に涙は乾くだろう   瓦礫に　埋もれた花にも　その手は 光を諦めようとはしない わずかな水滴も　いつか石を砕くよ 生きるのは　苦しむためじゃない (Don’t cry)   それがただの架空の果実だと そう　人は騙される 分かれ道で枯れた枝の先に まだ希望はあるんだと   大事なもの守りたい 選べる答えがかけらでも 深い傷があれば (愛を)込めて抱きしめよう   すべてひとつの空 同じ鼓動　刻んでいる   孤独に　埋もれた　心に　その瞳は 未来を探し出そうとしている 風上を信じて　現実は続いてゆくよ 生きるのは　悲しむためじゃない (Don’t cry)

If that horrid storm hadn’t come out of the blue I would not be hating that sky Why does time always take away Someone who is by my side, time and again? We cried, bemoaning how we might not be able To take tomorrow for granted But by the morning that revolves around our hearts Our tears will likely dry Even flowers buried in debris Never stop reaching for the light Even the tiniest drips of water will fracture stone one day Life is not about suffering (don’t cry) Yes, we humans are tricked into thinking That something is just a fruit of fantasy That, beyond the rotten branches at the crossroads, There are still hopes and dreams I want to protect that which is important to me Even if the answers I can choose are but fragments If you bear a deep wound I will give you a hug (full of love) Everything forms a single sky Beating the same pulse Even a heart buried in loneliness has eyes Searching for the future Reality continues moving, trusting in the wind Life is not about grief (don’t cry)

Fui ni hidoi arashi ga konakereba
Ano sora wo nikumanai
Itsumo soba ni ite kureru dareka wo
Naze toki wa mata ubau

Kanarazu kuru ashita nado
Nai kamo shirenai to naita ne
Dakedo mune wo meguru
Asa ni namida wa kawaku darou

Gareki ni umoreta hana ni mo sono te wa
Hikari wo akirameyou to wa shinai
Wazuka na suiteki mo itsuka ishi wo kudaku yo
Ikiru no wa kurushimu tame ja nai (Don’t cry)

Sore ga tada no kakuu no kajitsu da to
Sou hito wa damasareru
Wakaremichi de kareta eda no saki ni
Mada yume wa arun da to

Daiji na mono mamoritai
Eraberu kotae ga kakera demo
Fukai kizu ga areba
(Ai wo) komete dakishimeyou

Subete hitotsu no sora
Onaji kodou kizande iru

Kodoku ni umoreta kokoro ni sono me wa
Mirai wo sagashidasou to shite iru
Kazakami wo shinjite ima wa tsuzuite yuku yo
Ikiru no wa kanashimu tame ja nai (Don’t cry)
