Lyrics
Rōmaji= Ah! Honoka na yokan kara hajimari Ah! Nozomi ga hoshizora kakete Hana o sakaseru nikkori egao wa Zutto onaji sa yuujou no egao

Wasurenai itsumademo wasurenai Konna ni mo kokoro ga hitotsu ni naru Sekai o mitsuketa yorokobi (tomo ni) utaou Saigo made (bokutachi wa hitotsu)

Kotori no tsubasa ga tsui ni ookiku natte Tabidachi no hi dayo Tooku e to hirogaru umi no iro atatakaku Yume no naka de egaita e no you nanda Setsunakute toki o maki modoshite miru kai? No no no ima ga saikou!

Minna to deaeta koto ureshikute Hanaretakunai yo hontou dayo Namida wa iranai kono mama odorou Te o futte motto futte

Hikari o oikakete kita bokutachi dakara Sayonara wa iwanai Mata aou yonde kureru kai? Bokutachi no koto Suteki datta mirai ni tsunagatta yume Yume no mirai kimi to boku no LIVE & LIFE

Kotori no tsubasa ga tsui ni ookiku natte Tabidachi no hi dayo Tooku e to hirogaru umi no iro atatakaku Yume no naka de egaita e no you nanda Setsunakute toki o maki modoshite miru kai? No no no ima ga saikou! Datte datte, ima ga saikou!

Ah! Honoka na yokan kara hajimari Ah! Hikari o oikakete kitanda yo... Kanji= Ah! ほのかな予感から始まり Ah! 希望が星空駆けて 花を咲かせるにっこり笑顔は ずっと同じさ　友情の笑顔

忘れない　いつまでも忘れない こんなにも心がひとつになる 世界をみつけた喜び(ともに)歌おう 最後まで(僕たちはひとつ)

小鳥の翼がついに大きくなって 旅立ちの日だよ 遠くへと広がる海の色暖かく 夢の中で描いた絵のようなんだ 切なくて時をまきもどしてみるかい? No no no いまが最高!

みんなと出会えたこと嬉しくて 離れたくないよ本当だよ 涙はいらない　このまま踊ろう 手を振ってもっと振って

光を追いかけてきた僕たちだから さよならは言わない また会おう　呼んでくれるかい? 僕たちのこと 素敵だった未来に繋がった夢 夢の未来　君と僕のLIVE & LIFE

小鳥の翼がついに大きくなって 旅立ちの日だよ 遠くへと広がる海の色暖かく 夢の中で描いた絵のようなんだ 切なくて時をまきもどしてみるかい? No no no いまが最高! だってだって、いまが最高!

Ah! ほのかな予感から始まり Ah! 光を追いかけてきたんだよ... English= Ah! It began with a subtle premonition Ah! Our wishes were hung amidst the starry skies Our joyful smiles that make flowers bloom, They were always the same, smiles of friendship

We won't ever forget this, until the end of time That our hearts can become one like this We've discovered the world So let us sing with joy until the very end

The little bird's wings have finally grown large It's a day to take flight The wide sea's warm color beckons in the distance It's painful, just like a painting drawn within a dream Would you like to try winding back time? No no no, this moment is the greatest!

These encounters with everyone Were so joyful I never wanted to let go, it's true Our tears are unneeded, let's just dance like this Wave your hands, wave them more

We made it here chasing the light. Because it's us, We won't say farewell We'll meet again, won't you call me? We're a dream That connects to a wonderful future A future we dreamed of Our LIVE & LIFE with you

The little bird's wings have finally grown large It's a day to take flight The wide sea's warm color beckons in the distance It's painful, just like a painting drawn within a dream Would you like to try winding back time? No no no, this moment is the greatest! After all, after all, this moment is the greatest!

Ah! It began with a subtle premonition Ah! We made it here chasing the light...

Trivia

 * This song is played in full length and is officially the final song in the anime adaptation.
 * The animated dance sequence is the first half and the other half is the movie credits with members' training clothes as the backdrop.
 * A theory is the flower they are dancing on is a lotus. A lotus which stays open for the day and night will die at the end of the day. This references μ's disbanding.
 * The starry sky in the backdrop is meant to symbolize the many lights of the audience's cyalumes.
 * This song was performed live at the Final Live, with a costume that would transform mid-song. The costume designer's comments can be found here.
 * The lyrics are filled with the members' names, used either as puns or in their original meaning. This order is also preserved in Love Live! School idol festival, where the letters in the song image are colored based on when they were first mentioned in the song.
 * Honoka (ほのか) - Faint, subtle
 * Nozomi (希望) - Wishes, desire
 * Hoshizora [Rin] (星空) - Starry sky
 * Hana[yo] (花) - Flower
 * Nico (にっこ) - Smile
 * Kotori (小鳥) - Little bird
 * Umi (海) - Sea
 * E[li] (絵) - Painting
 * Maki (まき) - Roll, or rewind in the context of maki modoshite. (Commonly maki modosu)
 * In addition, the lyrics call back to "first" songs for μ's.
 * The phrase "boku no LIVE&LIFE" references the first single of μ's, Bokura no LIVE Kimi to no LIFE.
 * The first two lines of the chorus reference the first verse of the first song sung as μ's in the anime adaptation, START:DASH!!.
 * The lyrics "kotori no tsubasa ga tsuini ōkiku natte tabidachi no hidayo" ("The wings of the bird have grown"), which may be reference to START:DASH!!'s lyrics "Ubuge no kotori tachi mo itsuka sora ni habataku ookina tsuyoi tsubasa de tobu" ("Even baby birds will someday flap their wings in the sky, they'll soar high up with big strong wings") as START:DASH!! was the first song of μ's in the anime and Bokutachi wa Hitotsu no Hikari was the last. It could also be a metaphor for how μ's used to be small, a "little bird", that has now "left the nest" and grown up big and strong.
