Original / Romaji LyricsEnglish Translation
Chao Tokyo chiisana apaato ni karuku te wo furu 
Chao Tokyo watashi dake no oshiro yo  sayonara
Chao Tokyo  I lightly waved my hand at the small apartment
Chao Tokyo  It was a castle just for me... Goodbye...
eki no hoomu niwa samishigari no tabibito doushi 
furui kizu wo miseatte               
anata wo matteta poketto no kagi wa mou sutete   
hitori yume wo daite itai   
On the station platform, as lonely-feeling fellow travelers
We showed each other our old wounds
Soon, I want to throw away the pocket key that has waited for you 
And keep embracing my single dream
uwame tsukai ni miteta hitonami  ima ni natte 
yasashisa wo kanjiru yo  fushigi ne  Chao Tokyo
Looking up from below, I saw a wave of humanity. Now it happens; 
I feel the kindness... It's such a mystery...  Chao Tokyo 
Chao Tokyo hajimete kita toki yori mo kono machi wa 
Chao Tokyo dete yuku hou ga yuuki ga iru no ne  sayonara
Chao Tokyo  The first time I came to this town was worse
Chao Tokyo  To leave is better; you have courage, right? Goodbye...
namida de aruita chikadou no sumi de kiita uta  
itsuka kiita komoriuta
daremo ga hitori wo kanjiteru  
Koko mo madamada shinjirareru koto bakari  
I walked with tears-- At the corner of the underground tunnel I heard a song:
A lullaby I heard some time ago
Everyone experiences it alone
But here there is still much more you can believe in
mamoriatteta fuan na koi kara  itsu no hi ni ka 
jibun de warau koto wo oboeta  Chao Tokyo  sayonara
Because of the shared protection of an insecure love, it was one of those days
I remembered to laugh with myself  Chao Tokyo  Goodbye...
ai wo mitsukeraretara  kono machi he to mou ichido kaeritai
If I can find love, I want to go towards this town and return once more
Chao Tokyo nigirishime sugite shinatta kippu to 
Chao Tokyo miokuri wa nanairo irumineeshon
Chao Tokyo  With the ticket I gripped too much and bent
Chao Tokyo  The send-off was a seven-colored illumination
Chao Tokyo Oh Tokyo itsumademo terashi tsuzukete ne  
Chao Tokyo Chao Tokyo watashi no oshiro yo  sayonara    
Chao Tokyo  Oh Tokyo, won't you continue to shine on forever?
Chao Tokyo  Chao Tokyo  It was my castle... Goodbye...
