Ikimono Gakari Blue Bird lyrics with English Translation
Habataitara modorenai to itte
Mezashita no wa aoi aoi ano sora
Kanashimi wa mada oboerarezu
Setsunasa wa ima tsukami hajimeta
Anata e to idaku kono kanjou mo
Ima kotoba ni kawatteku
Michi naru sekai no yume kara mezamete
Kono hane wo hiroge tobi datsu
Habataitara modorenai to itte
Mezashita no wa aoi aoi ano sora
Tsuki nuketara mitsukaru to shitte
Furikiru hodo
Aoi aoi ano sora
Aoi aoi ano sora
Aoi aoi ano sora
You say if you could fly, you’d never come back down
You only have eyes for that blue, blue sky
You’ve yet to learn what sadness is
And are now just grasping what pain is like
Even the feelings I have for you
Must be expressed in words
As you awake from a dream into an unknown world
Spread your wings and take flight!
You say if you could fly, you’d never come back down
You only have eyes for that blue, blue sky
You know if you can just make it through, you’ll find what you seek
So keep trying to break free
to that blue, blue sky
to that blue, blue sky
to that blue, blue sky
Great song with meaning lyrics. Ikimono Gakari seems to have done it again. Reminds me of another good song they have done for Bleach — Hanabi. Well done.

THANK YOU!
Nice to know that a pretty song has such pretty lyrics. I’m addicted to this song, wouldn’t have heard it if it weren’t for the Naruto fans who posted the clip… <3

I LOVE THIS SONG.. I believe ikimono has a unique voice.. and she will be here for a while.. ^_^
May 29, 2009 at 12:41 am
Ikimono isn’t the name of the girl… Her name is Kiyoe Yoshioka. Ikimono-gakari is the name of the band
May 10, 2008 at 6:09 am
Yeah this song rules. Waiting for the full version of the song to be released. =)
May 11, 2008 at 9:44 am

OMG!Can’t wait fer the full song…This is the best song ever in Naruto Openings
>3
October 10, 2009 at 12:45 am
Mmh . .Sasuke
May 14, 2008 at 1:50 pm
Yup. I agree.
Think the openings are the only things left that’s good in the anime.
May 14, 2008 at 3:20 pm
I think that’s overgeneralising. There’s still some other goodness in the anime =X
May 14, 2008 at 4:35 pm
Haha…you can’t overgeneral ONE anime. =P
And yeah, probably the other goodness being it’s in widescreen HD format now. Wahaha!! =P
By the way, I’m not a Naruto hater. Just disappointed with the anime. O_o
May 14, 2008 at 4:36 pm
Help edit the overgeneral to overgeneralise.
May 14, 2008 at 4:42 pm
And help add a ‘now’ behind the last anime, can? Many thanks!
May 23, 2008 at 6:08 pm
I like this song so much. I can’t wait for the single. ;DD
Yeah, the anime at the moment is pretty much like old fillers. But the manga is pure brilliance and I just read chapter 401. Pretty intense stuff!
May 25, 2008 at 5:23 pm
I just love the song. Nice voice, nice instruments, nice lyrics and the list goes on. ^^
The anime has alot of fillers, can’t deny that, but I don’t mind them at all. There were quite alot of fillers where you learned abit of background information about every person – so that’s pretty neat imo.
I’m still loving it and that won’t change. ^^
May 26, 2008 at 5:11 am
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVWxXtQhmzY here is the english version of the song
June 8, 2009 at 1:52 pm
Very nice lyrics, thanks.
Anyway there is a full version other than this short TV version
May 27, 2008 at 1:51 pm
Haha interesting english version. Although I prefer the original version but nice effort. To Zagtul, ya we need more loyal naruto anime fans like you so that the producer will keep on producing!
May 28, 2008 at 10:19 am
dis theme song is genius but bleach can outdo the naruto theme songs
May 31, 2008 at 2:20 am
