[Japanese:]

まるで御伽の話
終わり迎えた証
長過ぎる旅路から
切り出した一節
それはかつてこの地に
影を落とした悪を
討ち取りし勇者との
短い旅の記憶

物語は終わり
勇者は眠りにつく
穏やかな日常を
この地に残して
時の流れは無情に
人を忘れさせる
そこに生きた軌跡も
錆び付いていく

それでも君の
言葉も願いも勇気も
今も確かに私の中で
生きている

同じ途を選んだ
それだけだったはずなのに
いつの間にかどうして
頬を伝う涙の理由をもっと
知りたいんだ
今更だって
共に歩んだ旅路を辿れば
そこに君は居なくとも
きっと見つけられる

物語は続く
一人の旅へと発つ
立ち寄る街で出会う
人の記憶の中に残る君は

相も変わらずお人好しで
格好つけてばかりだね
あちらこちらに作ったシンボルは
勝ち取った平和の証
それすら
未来でいつか
私が一人にならないように
あの旅を思い出せるように
残された目印

まるで御伽の話
終わり迎えた証
私を変えた出会い
百分の一の旅路

君の勇気をいつか
風がさらって
誰の記憶から消えてしまっても
私が未来に連れて行くから

君の手を取った
あの日全て始まった
くだらなくて
思わずふっと笑ってしまうような
ありふれた時間が今も眩しい
知りたいんだ
今更だって
振り返るとそこにはいつでも
優しく微笑みかける
君がいるから

新たな旅の始まりは
君が守り抜いたこの地に
芽吹いた命と共に

[English translation:]

A story just like a fairytale
Proof that we're heading towards the end
A single verse taken from an ages long story
An evil whose shadow covered the earth
Slain by brave heros
A memory of that fleeting journey

The story comes to an end
The hero's went to sleep
Slipping into calm everyday life
Eventually, the heartless flow of time made people forget
Memory of their story became rusty and faded

But despite all of that
Your words, hopes and courage
Surely, still live inside me

Walking down the path that we both chose
Should have made me strong
But before I realized tears were rolling down my cheeks
I want to know why!
Even now, though you're not beside me
If we both depart on our journey
Surely we'll be able to find each other

The story goes on
I set off down my own path
When I stoped by a town and met by chance
You, whose story is still remembered

You were as good hearted as always
But you never miss a chance to show off, do you?
The symbols of our hard won peace were all around
So that someday in the future I don't end up all alone
So that I can remember that journey so long ago
This memory will remain with me and be my guide

A story just like a fairytale
Proof that we are headed towards the end
That fateful meeting that would change me forever
Was only one hundredth of our journey

Someday, even your unwavering courage
Will be blown away by the wind
But even if you disappear from everyone's memory
I will take your words with me into the future

I hold your hand in mine
Remembering the day that all of this started
It was such a trivial thing
But in spite of myself I break into a smile
The mundane time we spent together shines brighter then ever
I want to know why!
Even now
Whenever I look back
I can't help but smile
Because you're right there behind me

On this land that you defended to the last
We'll start our new journey
Our budding life together
