English Translation:
I want to cross the sky and hold hands with you Let's spread our wings and take off from the nest of dreams
Ever since the day I met you I've always wanted to be by your side No matter how far apart we are My heart is always with you
No matter how time flows No matter how the world changes Just like the day I met you My feelings will never change
Let's spread our wings and take off from the nest of dreams
Ever since the day I met you I've always wanted to be by your side No matter how far apart we are My heart is always with you
No matter how time flows No matter how the world changes Just like the day I met you My feelings will never change
Let's spread our wings and take off from the nest of dreams
Let's spread our wings and take off from the nest of dreams
The song is about the desire to be with someone special, to overcome any distance or change together, and to keep the initial feelings of meeting each other alive forever.
