Lyrics
Rōmaji
Sayonara arigatou koko kara habatakou
Karappo no tenohira nigirishimete sa
Namida ja nagasenai tashika na omoi ga atta
Kagiri aru sekai e fumidasu yo
Ashita moshi bokura koko kara kietemo
Kawari nante hoka ni mo irundesho?
Jishin nante hajime kara motte wa inai kedo
Akiramerarenainda
Isso zenbu o suteraretara
Motto raku ni naru ka na
Sonna imeeji hitotsu de
Matataku ma ni toozakatteyuku mirai dakishimeta
Sayonara arigatou muchuu de habatakou
Kagiri aru sekai no sono naka ni
Sayonara arigatou sayonara arigatou
Kanarazu mata aeru sono basho de

さよなら ありがとう ここから羽ばたこう
空っぽの手のひら握り締めてさ
涙じゃ流せない 確かな想いがあった
限りある世界へ踏み出すよ
明日もし僕ら此処から消えても
変わりなんて他にもいるんでしょ?
自信なんて始めからもってはいないけど
諦められないんだ
いっそ 全部を捨てられたら
もっと楽になるかな
そんなイメージ一つで
瞬く間に遠ざかってゆく未来 抱きしめた
さよなら ありがとう 夢中で羽ばたこう
限りある世界のその中に
さよなら ありがとう さよなら ありがとう
必ずまた会える その場所で
English
Farewell, thank you! Let's flap our wings from here,
Clenching our hands tightly!
I feel a definite feeling, which tears can never wash away…
So I'll step onward toward that finite world!
Even if we were to disappear from here today,
There would probably be plenty of people to replace us.
I haven't really had any confidence from the beginning,
But I still can't manage to give up!
If I was to just throw it all away,
I'd wonder if things would get easier…
Just by picturing that one IMAGE,
In the blink of an eye, I found myself grasping that escaping future!
Farewell, thank you! Let's flap our wings with abandon,
From amid that finite world!
Farewell, thank you! Farewell, thank you!
We can surely meet again in that place.
Rōmaji (Full Version)
Sayonara arigatou
Koko kara habatakou
Karappo no tenohira nigirishimete sa
Namida ja nagasenai tashika na omoi ga atta
Kagiri aru sekai e fumidasu yo
Ashita moshi bokura ga koko kara kietemo
Kawari nante hoka nimo irundesho?
Jishin nante hajime kara motte wa inai kedo
Akiramerarenai nda
Sayonara arigatou
Koko kara habatakou
Karappo dakara tsukameru mono mo aru
Nandomo nakushite soredemo mata sagasunda
Kigen tsuki no hibi no mannaka de
Tsutaetai koto nante ikutsu mo nai kara
Sono tabi ni zenryoku datta kedo
Hassen nanahyaku rokujuu jikan waru doryoku
Sono kotae wa nan na no?
Isso zenbu o suteraretara
Motto raku ni naru ka na
Sonna imeeji hitotsu de
Matataku ma ni toozakatteyuku mirai

Sayonara arigatou
Koko kara habatakou
Subete o nugisutete hashiridasu yo
Tatakatteru no wa hoka no dareka janakute
Itsudatte jibunjishin nanda yo
Yume toka risou toka
Itsushika kawatteitta
Genjitsu no omosa ni tsubusarete sa
Kurushiku naru tabi
Nigetaku naru tabi
Taisetsu na mono da to kidzuita yo
Sayonara arigatou
Muchuu de habatakou
Kakaeta mono ga aru kara karukunaru
Namida ja nagasenai tashika na omoi ga atta
Kagiri aru sekai no sono naka ni
Sayonara arigatou
Sayonara arigatou
Kanarazu mata aeru sono basho de
