In this article, we are going to talk about the famous song Tsubasa wo Kudasai (翼をください) which literally means "please give me wings". This song was written by the group Akaitori and released on Nemu Popular Festival which took place in 1970 in Shima City in Mie. The song became so famous that it ended up being put in choirs and taught in schools all over japan, becoming a song known by the entire Japanese population.
For a long time this song was re-released on several albums by several singers. The song was even the official theme of the soccer team in the 1998 cup. Tsubasa wo kudasai also made an appearance in several animes such as Evangelion, Danganronpa, Nichijou, K-ON and many others. See the song below sung by Yui:

いま私の願いごとが かなうならば翼がほしい
この背中に鳥のように 白い翼つけてください
この大空に翼をひろげ 飛んで行きたいよ
悲しみのない自由な空へ 翼はためかせ 行きたい
子供の時 夢みたこと
今も同じ夢に見ている
この大空に翼をひろげ 飛んで行きたいよ
悲しみのない自由な空へ 翼はためかせ
この大空に翼をひろげ 飛んで行きたいよ
悲しみのない自由な空へ 翼はためかせ 行きたい
Romanization of the music
Ima watashi no negaigoto ga kanau naraba tsubasa ga hoshii
Kono senaka ni tori no you ni shiroi tsubasa tsukete kudasai
Kono oozora ni tsubasa wo hiroge tonde yukitai yo
Kanashimi no nai jiyuu na sora he tsubasa hatamekase yukitai
Kodomo no doki yume mita koto Ima mo onaji yume ni miteiru
Kono oozora ni tsubasa wo hiroge tonde yukitai yo
Kanashimi no nai jiyuu na sora he tsubasa hatamekase yukitai
Spread your wings in this vast sky I want to fly
Kanashimi no nai jiyuu na sora he tsubasa hatamekase yukitai
Translation of the song
If now my wish came true, I would wish for wings
Just like a bird, on my back please put white wings
I want to spread my wings and fly in these skies
I want my wings to flutter in a sky free and without sadness
What I dreamed of as a child even now hasn't changed
I want to spread my wings and fly in these skies
I want my wings to flutter in a sky free and without sadness
I want to spread my wings and fly in these skies
I want my wings to flutter in a sky free and without sadness
