Sou da ne bokura atarashii jidai o
mukaeta mitai de kisekiteki kamo ne
nido to wa chotto ajiwaenai yo ne
mou ichido omoidashite
    That's right we are going to meet a
    new era, it could even be called miraculous
    It's not something we can taste even a little twice
    once more, remember

Kono hoshi ni umaretsuita hi (1)
kitto nandaka ureshikute
kitto nandaka setsunakute
bokura wa naiteita n da
wow yeah wow yeah wow wow wow yeah yeah
    The day we were born into this star
    Surely we were somewhat glad
    Surely we were somewhat sad
    We were crying
    wow yeah wow yeah wow wow wow yeah yeah

Genjitsu wa uragiru mono de handan sae
ayamaru kara ne soko ni aru kachi wa
sono me de chanto mikiwameteite ne
jibun no monosashi de
    Even if it's decided reality only betrays us
    because that's mistaken, the value in that,
    make sure you ascertain it with your own eyes
    by your own measure

Konna toki ni umaretsuita yo (2)
dakedo nantoka susundette
dakara nantoka koko ni tatte
bokura wa kyou o okutteru
wow yeah wow yeah wow yeah
    We were born into this time
    But somehow we are moving forward
    So somehow we are standing here
    We are sending off today
    wow yeah wow yeah wow yeah

Konna hoshi ni umaretsuita yo
nandaka totemo ureshikute
nandaka totemo setsunakute
ooki na koe de nakinagara
wow yeah wow yeah wow wow wow yeah
    We were born into this star
    Somehow we're very glad
    Somehow we're very sad
    While crying loudly
    wow yeah wow yeah wow wow wow yeah

Konna toki ni umaretsuita yo
dakedo kimi ni deaeta yo
    I was born into this time
    But I was able to encounter you

   (Konna toki ni umaretsuita yo
   dakedo kimi ni deaeta yo)
      (I was born into this time
      But I was able to encounter you
)

Konna hoshi ni umaretsuita yo
dakara kimi ni deaeta yo
    I was born into this planet
    So I was able to encounter you

   (Konna hoshi ni umaretsuita yo
   dakara kimi ni deaeta yo)
      (I was born into this planet
      So I was able to encounter you
)

Konna hoshi ni umaretsuita hi
kitto nandaka ureshikute
kitto nandaka setsunakute
bokura wa naiteita n da
wow yeah wow yeah wow wow wow yeah
    The day we were born into this star
    Surely we were somewhat glad
    Surely we were somewhat sad
    We were crying
    wow yeah wow yeah wow wow wow yeah

Konna toki ni umaretsuita yo
dakedo nantoka susundette
dakara nantoka koko ni tatte
bokura wa kyou o okutteru
wow yeah wow yeah wow wow wow yeah yeah
    We were born into this time
    But somehow we are moving forward
    So somehow we are standing here
    We are sending off today
    wow yeah wow yeah wow wow wow yeah yeah

Notes;
1) Where she sings 'hoshi' the kanji for 'chikyuu' (Earth) is written
2) Where she sings 'toki' (time) the kanji is for 'jidai' which means era
