山下達郎 (Tatsuro Yamashita)
Heron
Donnani samishī yoru mo
Yasashī koe ga kikoeru
Nijinda hitomi no naka de
Chīsana mirai ga umareru

Kokoro yo me o samase
Mihatenu yume o
Kazoenagara
Mōsugu yoake ga kuru

Nakanaide heron
Ame o yobanaide
Kono machi o yawarakana hikari
Mitasu made

Taiyō no ribbon
Mō kesanaide
Itsuka kitto eien o tsukamu
Sono hi made

Nagareru toki ni aragai
Inochi o moyashi tsuzukeru
Subete no kodokuna hitoyo
Namida wa kotodama ni naru

Ashita o matteiru
Iro azayaka ni
Ano horizon
Tsuranuite yoake ga kuru
Tobitate heron
Kiniro no sora e
Yuruyaka ni mai odore
Kaze o oinagara

Wakitate ion
Abiseteyo motto
Kono omoi asamoya no naka ni
Tokeru made

Nakanaide heron
Ame o yobanaide
Kono machi o yawarakana hikari
Mitasu made

Taiyō no ribbon
Mō kesanaide
Itsuka kitto eien o tsukamu
Sono hi made

Tobitate heron
Kiniro no sora e
Yuruyaka ni mai odore
Kaze o oinagara

Wakitate ion
Abiseteyo motto
Kono omoi asamoya no naka ni
Tokeru made
Nakanaide heron
Ame o yobanaide
Kono machi o yawarakana hikari…
