Romanized lyrics
Marude otogi no hanashi
Owari mukaeta akashi
Naga sugiru tabiji kara
Kiridashita issetsu
Sore wa katsute kono chi ni
Kage wo otoshita aku wo
Uchitorishi yuusha to no
Mijikai tabi no kioku
Monogatari wa owari
Yuusha wa nemuri ni tsuku
Odayaka na nichijou wo
Kono chi ni nokoshite
Toki no nagare wa mujou ni
Hito wo wasuresaseru
Soko ni ikita kiseki mo
Sabitsuite iku
Sore demo kimi no
Kotoba mo negai mo yuuki mo
Ima mo tashika ni watashi no naka de
Ikiteiru
Onaji michi wo eranda
Sore dake datta hazu na no ni
Itsu no ma ni ka dou shite
Hoho wo tsutau namida no wake wo motto

Tomo ni ayunda tabiji wo tadoreba
Soko ni kimi wa inaku tomo

Kimi ga mamorinuita kono chi ni
Mebuita inochi to tomo ni
English translation
Like a fairy tale
The proof of reaching the end
From a journey that felt so long
A verse that was carved out
It was once in this land
Where a shadow was cast by evil
A short journey with a hero
Who vanquished it
The story comes to an end
The hero falls into slumber
Leaving behind a peaceful everyday life
In this place
Time's flow is cruel
Forgetting people without mercy
And even the traces of their existence
Start to rust away
Nevertheless, your words
Your wishes, your courage
They still live on firmly within me
Even now
We chose the same path
That was all it was supposed to be
But somehow, along the way
I want to know more
About the reason for these tears on my cheeks
Even now
If I follow the journey we walked together
Even if you're not there
I'm sure I'll find you
The story continues
Setting off on a journey alone
Meeting people in towns we stop by
You remain in their memories
Unchangingly kind-hearted
Always trying to act tough, huh?
The symbols you created here and there
Are proof of the peace we achieved
Even that
Someday in the future
So I won't be alone
So I can recall that journey
They are the marks you left behind
Like a fairy tale
The proof of reaching the end
Encounters that changed me
One percent of the journey
Your courage
Someday, the wind will carry it away
And even if it disappears from everyone's memories
I'll take it with me into the future
The day I took your hand
Everything began
The ordinary moments
That make me involuntarily smile
I want to know about them
Even now
When I look back, there, always
You'll be gently smiling
Because you're there
The beginning of a new journey
In this land you protected so dearly
Blossoming alongside life
Japanese lyrics
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
