Lyrics[]
Sakende iru aoi kanaria
Mune no oku kakaete ita ikiba no nai kimochi hidoi ikigurushisa
Dare no tame nan no tame ni? Kotae mo naku zutto zutto gaman shiteta
Me ni wa utsuranai ito ga hidoku karamitsuite Ah
Bakuhatsu shisou na kanjou ga sakenderu
Bukiyou datte kamawanai watashi, ari no mama de itai
Tsuyoi omoi ima ni hibike tamashii uta ni nosete
Kinou made no watashi wa inai inai inai inai kara
Hateshinaku hirogaru sora jiyuu no hane hirogete
Sakende iru aoi kanaria
Kurikaesu furiko no you ni onaji basho o nando mayoi samayotta no?
Aozora o yokogitteiku sono sugata ni akogarete wa namida shiteta
Kono mama ja kitto kawaranai asu ga kuru dake Ah
Bakuhatsu shisou na shoudou ga uzuiteru
Machigai datte kamawanai koukai dake wa nokosanai
Kurai yami hikari terase yoake no kaze ni notte
Dare no mono demo nai mirai mirai mirai mirai made
Hateshinaku hirogaru sora jiyuu no hane hirogete
Tobi tsuzukeru
Kore ijou gaman nanka dekinai yo kikiwake iiko datta jibun ni sayonara
Mou nani mo osorenai kono te de kanarazu tsukande miseru hontou no jiyuu
Tsuyoi omoi ima ni hibike tamashii uta ni nosete
Kinou made no watashi wa inai inai inai inai kara
Hateshinaku hirogaru sora jiyuu no hane hirogete
Sakende iru aoi kanaria
叫んでいる 翠いカナリア
胸の奥抱えていた 行き場のない気持ち ひどい息苦しさ
誰の為 何のために？ 答えも無くずっとずっと我慢してた
目には映らない 糸がひどく絡みついて Ah
爆発しそうな 感情が叫んでる
不器用だって構わない 私、ありのままでいたい
強い思い 今に響け 魂 歌に乗せて
昨日までの私は いない いない いない いないから
果てしなく広がる空 自由の羽広げて
叫んでいる 翠いカナリア
繰り返す振り子のように 同じ場所を何度迷い 彷徨ったの？
青空を横切っていく その姿に憧れては涙してた
このままじゃきっと 変わらない明日が来るだけ Ah
爆発しそうな 衝動が疼いてる
間違いだって構わない 後悔だけは残さない
暗い闇 光照らせ 夜明けの風に乗って
誰のものでもない 未来 未来 未来 未来まで
果てしなく広がる空 自由の羽広げて
飛び続ける
これ以上我慢なんかできないよ 聞き分け良い子だった自分にさよなら
もう何も恐れない この手で必ず掴んでみせる 本当の自由
強い思い 今に響け 魂 歌に乗せて
昨日までの私は いない いない いない いないから
果てしなく広がる空 自由の羽広げて
叫んでいる 翠いカナリア
And so, the jade-green canary sings!
Deep down within my heart, my horrid, wandering feelings leave me unable to breathe
What is my purpose? For whom do I sing? Unable to find my answer, I continue to lie in wait
In the clutches of some unseen thread,
Ah, my emotions cry out, as if they're about to explode
Who cares if I'm a bit clumsy? I just want to be myself!
Now, let my intense feelings resonate! I'll sing from the very depths of my soul!
Starting today, I'm an absolutely, completely, totally different person
I'll spread my wings and fly ever freely in the vast skies above
So sings the jade-green canary!
Like clockwork, my lost wanderings have brought me back to where I started
I gaze longingly at the figure crossing the sky and shed a tear
If I stay like this, tomorrow will come without a change
Ah, I ache, my impulses making me feel like I'm going to explode
Who cares if I mess up? Regrets alone won't set me free!
Now, bring light to this deep darkness! I'll ride the winds of dawn!
This is my very own path, all the way to the distant future
I'll spread my wings and fly ever freely in the vast skies above
And keep on soaring
I'm not holding back anymore! My days as a good kid are over!
I'm not afraid anymore. I'll grasp true freedom in my own two hands!
Now, let my intense feelings resonate! I'll sing from the very depths of my soul!
Starting today, I'm an absolutely, completely, totally different person
I'll spread my wings and fly ever freely in the vast skies above
So sings the jade-green canary!

Trivia[]
- The Kanji 翠 in the title can also be read as "midori" (lit. green). This is due to the history of blue and green distinction in Japan, where "ao" (青 lit. blue) is often used to also describe something green in the Ancient era. The usage of "midori" (緑 lit. green) to describe something green is relatively recent to create distinction between the colors, however there are some instances that 青 is still being used (e.g. the green in traffic lights are described as 青).
- In the same context, the Chinese character 翠 (cuì) can translate into "green jade" (which is Shioriko's image color) and "bluish green", further reinforcing the blue and green distinction.
