Lyrics

Nihongo

忘れかけたことを　なつかしく受けとめる
サビついた心のカギを開けて

まぶしすぎる道も　過ぎた日々も未来も
２人出会った道で　今夜結ばれる

夢の先の道は　誰にもけがさせないから
風の誘う声に　耳を澄ます

誰のせいでもなく　光の季節の恋して
太陽がてらすように　愛がつつむ

夢の先に歩いて行こう

Romaji

Wasurekaketa koto wo natsukashiku uketomeru
Sabi tsuita kokoro no kagi wo akete

Mabushi sugiru michi mo sugita hibi mo mirai mo
Futari deatta michi de kon'ya musuba reru

Yume no saki no michi wa darenimo kegasa senaikara
Kaze no izanau koe ni mimiwosumasu

Dare no seide mo naku hikari no kisetsu no koishite
Taiyou ga terasu you ni ai ga tsutsumu

Yume no saki ni aruite ikou

English Translation

Remembering the nostalgic things that you've forgotten 
The key that opens my rusty heart

The road, passing days, and also the future are far too bright
Two people who met along the way are joined tonight

I won't let anyone ruin the road ahead to my dreams
Listening carefully to the calling voice of the wind

Falling in love in the season of light is nobody's fault
Being wrapped in love is like the shining sun

Let's walk ahead towards that dream

Long Version

ほほえみを　たやさぬ　強さのウラガワで
こわれそうな　あなたの心の色

気付かない明日の悲しみを嘆くより
星空にヒトミをとき放して

夢の中の景色　かすんで行く思い出に
さよなら言えるとき　光灯る

忘れかけていたことを　なつかしく受けとめる
サビついた心のカギを開けて

まぶしすぎる道も　過ぎた日々も未来も
２人出会った道で　今夜（いま）結ばれる

♯夢の先の道は　誰にもけがせないから
♯風の誘う声に　耳を澄ます

♯誰のせいでもなく　光の季節に恋して
♯太陽がてらすように　愛がつつむ

♯夢の先へ歩いて行こう

♯repeat

Long Romaji

Hohoemi wo tayasanu tsuyosa no uragawa de
Koware souna anata no kokoro no iro

Kidzukanai ashita no kanashimi wo nageku yori
Hoshizora ni hitomi wo toki hanashite

Yume no naka no keshiki kasunde iku omoide ni
Sayonara ieru toki hikari tomoru

Wasurekakete ita koto wo natsukashiku uketomeru
Sabi tsuita kokoro no kagi wo akete

Mabushi sugiru michi mo sugita hibi mo mirai mo
Futari deatta michi de konya (ima) musuba reru

♯Yume no saki no michi wa darenimo kegasenaikara
♯Kaze no izanau koe ni mimiwosumasu

♯No seide mo naku hikari no kisetsu ni koishite
♯Taiyou ga terasu you ni ai ga tsutsumu

♯Yume no saki he aruite ikou

♯repeat

Long English Translation

A strong smile to keep you going to the other side
The colors of your heart seem to be broken

Rather than lament over tomorrow's sadness, I don't notice grief 
Set your eyes free to the starry sky

Dreams of memories are in hazy scenery
I'll say goodbye when the light is lit

Remembering the nostalgic things that you've forgotten 
The key that opens my rusty heart

The road, passing days, and also the future are far too bright
Two people who met along the way are (now) joined tonight

♯I won't let anyone ruin the road ahead to my dreams
♯Listening carefully to the calling voice of the wind

♯Falling in love in the season of light is nobody's fault
♯Being wrapped in love is like the shining sun

♯Let's walk ahead towards that dream

♯repeat

A sweet song with a mellow feel.

Song Production Information

This has the melody and vocals of a trendy R&B song but, as the title suggests, it's a gentle melody reminiscent of the spring sunshine filtering through impressive foliage.
It's also a favorite song of mine. ANNA is a talented singer of mystery that even I don't really know the identity of.
