English Lyrics (translated by animeyay)：

The caged bird does not know of freedom, but it is happy and content.
Always being protected preciously, it sees nothing more than shallow dreams.
"Someday, I will spread my wings and fly off into the vast sky."
Believing that its wish will come true, it sings on with excitement.

It wishes to be led by the distantly echoing wind and soar beyond the extending sky.
While longing for the sky's cerulean, the bird drifts in its perpetual slumber.

Where's the boundary between reality and fantasy? Is there no answer?
If so, then what I see when I close my eyes will have to be my reality.
"I will chase the clouds to the end of the sky, towards a faraway place."
Believing that its wish will be heard, it sings on with excitement.

In the distance, where whispering singing voices and wind mix, is an expanding forest.
While longing for the land below, the bird drifts in its perpetual illusion.

It wishes to be led by the distantly echoing wind and soar beyond the extending sea.
While longing for the sea's cerulean, the bird drifts in its perpetual slumber.

Romaji lyrics (transliterated by animeyay)：

torikago no tori wa jiyuu o shiranai keredo shiawase
itsumo taisetsu ni mamorarete awaki yume miru
oozora ni mukai tsubasa hirogete takaku tobitatsu
itsuka kanau yo to mune o odorase utau no

tooku hibiku koe michibiku kaze tadoritsuku kanata hirogaru sora
mada minu aosa ni kogarenagara tayutau madoromi sameru koto naku

hontou to uso no sakaime wa doko kotae wa nai no?
naraba me o tojite ukabu keshiki ga watashi no genjitsu
sora no hate kumo o oikakete yuku haruka na basho e
itsuka todoku you to negai o komete utau no

sasayaku utagoe michibiku kaze meguriyuku kanata hirogaru mori
miorosu daichi ni kogarenagara tayutau maboroshi kieru koto naku

tooku hibiku koe michibiku kaze tadoritsuku kanata hirogaru umi
mada minu aosa ni kogarenagara tayutau madoromi sameru koto naku
