Romaji

Find me now, uchuu no hate no wakusei de nayamu boku wo
Waraeyo totaeru koto nai inochi wo furuwase akai kawa yo

Nigete mo oikakete kuru
Blue na kimochi ga kono mune ni hittari kuttsuiteiru
Radio no kayou kyoku iki mo taetae ni
Musebi naiteru rojou no yoru

Tomaranai itsu made mo kono kuyashi namida
Wakari aenai hitotachi kara toosakaritai

Ima nanji darou dou demo ii keredo
Nagai hashi no ue ni hitori suwatta mama katamarisou

Sukuenai hikisakareta kokoro wo dare ni mo
Atte mitai kono boku wo motomeru hito ni

Find me now, uchuu no hate no wakusei de nayamu boku wo
Waraeyo totaeru koto nai inochi wo furuwase
Doko ni modoreru no koko kara tobioritara
Doushite umareta no oshiete okure akai kawa yo

Nanoku no tsukihi wo kake daichi wo kezutte yuku
Doro mo namida mo nomikonde nagareru

Find me now, uchuu no hate no wakusei de nayamu boku wo
Waraeyo totaeru koto nai inochi wo furuwase
Chiisana hito no kurushimi mo mata chiri no you
Kaeru yo, kagirareta jiyuu wo sakebi makurou akai kawa yo

English

Find me now, on a planet at the end of the universe, this troubled and confused me
Laugh now, shake this soul that knows no end — please, Red River!

Even if I run away, it'll come chasing after me
A blue mood is fitting too tightly around this chest of mine
Songs on the radio are sung in gasping breaths
As tears are choked down on the street at night

These tears of regret are forever unstoppable
I long to go as far as possible from those who don't understand me

What time it is now, that's actually not all that important
Here I sit alone on this bridge as if I'm turning to stone
No one is able to rescue this torn apart heart
All I want is to meet someone that longs for a person like me...

Find me now, on a planet at the end of the universe, this troubled and confused me
Laugh now, shake this soul that knows no end
If I jump down from here, where is it I'll return to?
Please tell me why I was born — will you, Red River?

Billions of months and days piling up, extinguishing the earth
Swallowing both the mud and tears, floating away

Find me now, on a planet at the end of the universe, this troubled and confused me
Laugh now, shake this soul that knows no end
The suffering of one small person of so many is again just like dust
I'm going home! Shout it out with your limited freedom — hey, Red River!
