Hajime No Oto

What was the first sound like?
Your first sound was...
To me, this is it
So now I’m feeling happy

What were the first words like?
Your first words
I can’t say words
So I’m singing like this

Soon the day will pass, the years will go
Even if the world fades away
As long as you give me light
I’ll always sing

The color of the sky, the scent of the wind
The depth of the sea, your voice too
I don’t know, but I’ll sing
I’ll sing, just raising my voice

If something reaches you
No matter how many times
It won’t change, just like back then
Just like the first sound...

Was there a first sound?
Your first sound was...
Excited by unknown songs or city sounds?
Are you feeling thrilled?

Were there first words?
Your first words
I couldn’t say them, didn’t speak
Words seem a bit lonely

Soon the day will pass, the years will go
Old baggage will pile up
Even if you change
The things I don’t want to lose
Please keep them with me

The flow of time, the pain of scars
The depth of love, your voice too
I don’t know, but I’ll sing
I’ll sing, so please listen

If you wish for something
No matter how many times
It won’t change, just like back then
Just like the first sound...

The color of the sky, the scent of the wind
The depth of the sea, my song too
It won’t change, just like back then
Just like the first sound...

Have you gotten used to the first sound?
To your first sound

Wherever in the world, I’ll sing
Each of our first sounds...
