 Will you (please tell me the way to the sky)

 aa sora wa nani mo kawarazu soko ni ita

english translation:

White Feathers

White feathers float downwards, he draws a picture in his room
The pleasant view of the window closed, drawing a picture of the bird
In the corner of the room, a bird with bound feet flaps its wings frantically
Watching this in sorrow, riding on thoughts of her

Will you please tell me the way to the sky
Though you're near me now
You're getting further, I won't reach you, it's too high...

...I don't even know if it's day or night anymore...

Many nights passed when he suddenly opened the window
And the sun and wind stream through
And take him away

Will you please tell me the way to the sky
Dancing up in the wind
Closed as they are,
If he won't open his wings, he'll just keep falling

After a short distortion, I know everything, everything that won't be fulfilled

Will you please tell me the way to the sky
Though you're near me now
I can't even touch you with my fingertips
Like that bird, I'm tied to the ground
Ah, though the sky changed nothing, I was there
