Ooo.. ooo…
Oh.. oh...
Nature is calling out to me,
And wings are sprouting on me.
The soothing sight caressing the leaves
Walks past, gently stroking my head.
Shining in a hundred colors,
The sky is smiling.
This life
Is only one life,
And I feel like truly living it.
Oh.... oh....
Nature is calling out to me,
And wings are sprouting on me.
The soothing sight caressing the leaves
Walks past, gently stroking my head.
Are these singing birds
Practicing musical notes here?
The fires lined up in a row—
Did I come and light them?
Ah, there is joy everywhere on earth!
You have stayed locked inside a room long enough, my heart!
The life you haven't lived...
That unlived life
All around, ahead and behind,
Calls out, "Come, come live!"
More and more!
Oh... oh...

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This song is a vibrant ode to freedom, nature, and self-discovery. The lyrics capture the protagonist's profound awakening as they break free from mental and physical confinement (metaphorically represented by being locked inside a room) to embrace the wild, colorful world outside. Nature acts as both a gentle companion and a grand spectacle—leaves stroke their hair, the sky smiles in a hundred shades, and birds seem to practice musical notes.
