Kanji (Full Version)
風が吹いて　痛い　消えない想い 何を持って行こうか　集めてひとつ 二度とない　二度とない　捨てるなんて馬鹿みたい 無邪気になって　イメージ

きっとそれは終わらない

愛の胸　焦がせ　千の夢　渡れ 縦横無尽　駆けて　手に掴む世界 雲がちぎれて　日がまた落ちて ひとりのパレードが　動きだす

冒険　吉日　心拍　上昇　明暗　遭遇　生命　相愛

もしも言ってしまうなら　あなたの髪を 嗅いで　吸って　もっと　寄せ合う言葉 ワカラナイ　ワカラナイ　うわべだけじゃわからない だからもっと深くしたい　したい

なんて夢みたい

愛の胸　焦がせ　千の夢　渡れ 縦横無尽　駆けて　巡り逢う奇跡 雲がちぎれて　日がまた落ちて ふたつのパレードが夜空に溶けて

誰もが持っている　ポケットに沈めた夜がある そいつを灯すように　手を伸ばしては泳ぐ人 見つけられたならいい　あなたの景色と同じもの

愛の胸　焦がせ　千の夢　渡れ 縦横無尽　駆けて　手に掴む世界 雲がちぎれて　日がまた落ちて 未完成のパレードでどこまでも

冒険　吉日　心拍　上昇　明暗　遭遇　生命　相愛

English (Full Version)
The wind blows and it hurts, my love won’t go away What should I take with me? There’s only one It’ll never come again, never come again, it’d be stupid to throw it away That innocent image Surely won’t end... It surely won't end...

Set your heart in love on fire, cross through a thousand dreams Run right and left, through the world you hold in your hand The clouds scatter and the sun goes down again And the one-person parade begins to move An adventure, a lucky day, heartbeat rising, light and darkness, an encounter, life, mutual love

If you say something, the words make me Smell your hair, inhale it, and cuddle up closer I don’t know, I don’t know, I won’t know just from appearance So I want, I want to get deeper It’s like a dream... It's like a dream...

Set your heart in love on fire, cross through a thousand dreams Run right and left, through the miracle of meeting The clouds scatter and the sun goes down again And two parades melt into the night sky

There’s a night everyone’s waiting for, deep in their pockets I hope you’ve found someone who lights you up, swims to you when you hold out your arms With the same scenery as you

Set your heart in love on fire, cross through a thousand dreams Run right and left, through the world you hold in your hand The clouds scatter and the sun goes down again This incomplete parade moves everywhere An adventure, a lucky day, heartbeat rising, light and darkness, an encounter, life, mutual love...

Trivia

 * By some interpretations of the second version of this ending, Sasuke was essentially known as the "fallen leaf" ninja when he left the village. Sakura is shown catching a falling leaf with Naruto walking away from her. It seems that Naruto is giving Sakura that leaf as a metaphor of bringing Sasuke back.
 * In the last part of the ending, there is a poster on the wall at Sakura's room written "一生愛の人生よ (Isshō ai no jinsei yo)" meaning "Always a life of love" or "A life with love throughout".
