”inori wo komete   negai wo komete
yoake wo matsunda   itami no naka de…”

Refrain the rain   furi yamenu ame  Cry for the earth…
dare mo kare mo sonzai wo shinjinai nobody…

na mo shiranu kuni no   haikyo no machi
asu wo ubawareta   hito no retsu ga tsudzuku

sono koe ga   Refrain   utaeteru
manazashi ga   Refrain
(Your worries make me cry!! (note: we think...))
hou fuku ga   Refrain   kurikaeshiteku
furi yamanu   Cold rain   “CRYING FOR THE EARTH”

How can I   ima   bokura wa   kono hoshi de
(Try to find the Answer   nani wo mitsumete)
How can I   sou   bokura wa   dousureba
(Try to find the Reason   ai wo motomete)
(Try to find the Future Try to find the Love)
kyou toiu hi wo   koete ikerundarou…

na mo shiranu kuni no   hito no mirai
mamorareru hazu no   osanai yume   inochi

nikushimi ga   Refrain   afureteiru
zetsubou ga   Refrain
(What the hell is going on!?)
oshiyoseru   Despair   taerarenai
furi yameru   Cold rain   “CRYING FOR THE EARTH”

How can I   ima   bokura wa    kono hoshi de
(Try to find the Answer   nani wo mitsumete)
How can I   sou   bokura wa   eien ni
(Try to find the Reason   ai wo motomete)
(Try to find the Future   Try to find the Love)
sono tsumi wo   aa   tsugunai tsudzukeru

kyou mo sekai no dokoka de inochi ga takusan
mushi kera mitai ni   tsubusaretekunda
itomo youku osanai hakanai inochi ga
kami kuzu mitai ni moyasaretekunda
(Why now? Why now?)
mune ni tsukisasaru uta da
(Why now? Why now?)
nan no tame ni?
ittai dareka
D-D-D-Don’t give up!!
uchinomesareta kokoro de
Stand up! Stand up!
aruki tsudzuketekunda!!

How can I   ima   bokura wa   kono hoshi de
(Try to find the Answer   nani wo mitsumete)
How can I   ima   bokura wa   kono basho de
(Try to find the Reason   nani wo shinjite)
How can I   sou   bokura wa   eien ni
(Try to find the Answer ai wo motomete)
(Try to find the Future   Try to find the Love)
sono wake wo   sagashi tsudzukeru

”Praying and wishing
In the midst of pain, we waited for dawn…”

Refrain the rain, the unstopping rain that cries for the earth
Nobody, not a single person believes it's existence...

In a country with an unknown name, ruins of a town
The line of people who were robbed of tomorrow continues on

That voice is a refrain: an appeal to justice
In our gaze… a refrain that tells us again, 
(Your worries make me cry!!)
A refrain that just keeps repeating
As unstoppable cold rains fall, “CRYING FOR THE EARTH”

How can I… We here now on this planet,
(Try to find the Answer   What are we to find?)
What can each of us do?
(Try to find the reason   Longing for love)
(Try to find the Future   Try to find the Love)
For today is the day to do better…

In a country with an unknown name, a person’s future…
We should be protecting the life and the dreams of the young

An overflowing refrain of hatred,
The refrain of despair
(What the hell is going on !?)
Unable to withstand the besiege of despair
As unstoppable cold rains fall, “CRYING FOR THE EARTH”

How can I… We here now on this planet,
(Try to find the Answer   What are we to find?)
How can each of us through eternity…
(Try to find the reason   Longing for love)
(Try to find the Future   Try to find the Love)
How can we continue to atone for this guilt?

Even today, everywhere in the world lots of lives
Are squashed as if they were just bugs
With extreme ease, the fleeting lives of the innocent
Are burned away as easily as paper
( Why now? Why now?)
To pierce through to the heart, we sang
( Why now? Why now?)
And for what reason?
So that those that are hurting
D-D-D-Don't give up!!
So those whose spirits have been knocked down
Can stand up! Stand up!
And continue walking!!

How can I… We here now on this planet,
(Try to find the Answer   What are we to find?)
How can each of us now in this place…
(Try to find the answer   What are we to believe?)
How can each of us through eternity…
(Try to find the reason   Longing for love)
(Try to find the Future   Try to find the Love)
We continue to search for a reason behind all this
