[Lyrics] Kud Wafter OP Single – one’s future [Suzuta Miyako]

Just when I thought I was done with translating Key songs for the time being I was surprised yet again today by the release of Kud Wafter’s opening song one’s future. It is sung by none other than Suzuta Miyako the voice of lead heroine Noumi Kudryavka. There are four versions of the song on the single including the regular version, a special “live” version and two instrumental versions. Surprisingly there is a lack of any Engrish considering the character singing. At the very least there is plenty doubling up of words so it sounds very cutesy. I made sure to retain that in my translation as best I could. The game won’t be out until June 25 but until then enjoy this translation of the song!

English Translation

With our hands held tightly, tightly together
I kissed and kissed your cheeks

With immature wings on my back
I set my sights on that blue soaring sky
Chasing after your footsteps which passed through the white clouds
I’ll dash through the center of the summer breeze
That is the dream that I talked about in which I didn’t know hesitation
It’s like a gear that holds nostalgic strength

With our hands held tightly, tightly together
I kissed and kissed your cheeks
Even if it’s only a little more than yesterday I hope I can become stronger
I’m sure, so sure that the stars were twinkling
Illuminating the street with glitter and sparkles
The detour we composed together has meaning

The countless shining stars are reflected in my eyes
For a moment the tiny locked door
Will be free from the chains of innocent memories
Adoration will become my guide
You supported my dream that was once crushed
Right now you stand by my side smiling

Staring at each other we cuddle tighter and tighter
We get closer and closer together
I hope the bonds that tie us seize tomorrow without fail
So gently and gently I took your hand
And walked this path forever and ever
Our future indicated by the number of our footprints

With our hands held tightly, tightly together
I kissed and kissed your cheeks
Even if it’s only a little more than yesterday I hope I can become stronger
I’m sure, so sure that the stars were twinkling
Illuminating the street with glitter and sparkles
The detour we composed together has meaning

Staring at each other we cuddle tighter and tighter
We get closer and closer together
I hope the bonds that tie us seize tomorrow without fail
So gently and gently I took your hand
And walked this path forever and ever
Even if it’s only a little more than yesterday
It’s proof that we could reach the sky
Our future indicated by the number of our footprints

Kanji

二人手を　きゅっときゅっと　重ねて
頬に　ちゅっとちゅっと　キスした

私の背中には　幼い翼があり
あの青くて高い空を目指してた
白い雲を越えた　足跡を追いかけて
夏の風の中を駆けて行く
それはためらうことを　知らず夢を語った
懐かしい強さを持つ歯車のようだね

二人手を　きゅっときゅっと　重ねて
頬に　ちゅっとちゅっと　キスした
昨日より少しだけでも　強くなれるように
星は　きっときっと　瞬く
道を　キラキラ　照らした
二人で綴る遠回りは　意味があるねと

私の瞳には　無数の輝く星
一度は閉じられた小さな扉は
あどけない記憶の　鎖を振りほどいて
あこがれは道標　（しるべ）　に　変わり行く
一度くじけたはずの　夢を支えてくれた
貴方は今隣で微笑んでくれてるね

見つめ合い　ぎゅっとぎゅっと　寄り添い
二人　もっともっと　近づく
結んだ絆が必ず　明日を掴むように
だから　そっとそっと　手を取り
道を　ずっとずっと　歩いた
足跡の数が示した　二人の未来

二人手を　きゅっときゅっと　重ねて
頬に　ちゅっとちゅっと　キスした
昨日より少しだけでも　強くなれるように
星は　きっときっと　瞬く
道を　キラキラ　照らした
二人で綴る遠回りは　意味があるねと

見つめ合い　ぎゅっとぎゅっと　寄り添い
二人　もっともっと　近づく
結んだ絆が必ず　明日を掴むように
だから　そっとそっと　手を取り
道を　ずっとずっと　歩いた
昨日より少しだけでも
高く飛んだ証が
足跡の数が示した　二人の未来
