幾つもikutsu monoyoruwo 乗り越えたnorikoetauso

sunanoumide 錆びたsabitaシャベルshaberuwo持ってmotte

In a sea of sand, holding a rusted shovel

まるでmarude闘うtatakau様にyou ni yumewo掘るhoruhito

As if going to battle, a person digging for dreams

赤くakaku燃えるmoeru太陽taiyouni miwo焼かれてもyakaretemo

Even as the burning red sun scorches their body

必死でhisshi de 這い上がろうhaiagaro utoするsuru

Desperately, they try to crawl back up

愛するaisuruhitono inochininegaついたtsuita

A price was placed on the life of the one they love

そこら中sokorajuuniatamawo下げてもsagete mo 足りなくてtarinakute

No matter how many times they bowed their head to everyone, it wasn't enough

石油sekiyuでもdemo掘るhoru以外igai 無いんじゃないのnainja nai noってtte

"Might as well dig for oil" — someone said

皮肉hinikuwo 本気honkiniしてshite飛び出したtobidashita

They took that sarcasm seriously and ran out the door

でもdemo 掘り出したhoridashitanowa 長いnagai年月nengetsu

But what they dug up was nothing but long, long years

Sir DestinySir Destiny あんたanta hitonoinochiwo転がしてkorogashite 大層taisou楽しいtanoshiiだろうdarou

Sir Destiny, you must be having a grand old time, toying with people's lives

笑えwaraeyo 見ているmiteiruんだろうndarou このkonooregaジタバタjitabata足宛いてるashi ategatterunowo

Go on, laugh — I know you're watching me flailing around like a fool

死んだshindamachide yorunoドレスdoresu纏ってmatotte

In a dead city, draped in the dress of night

作り話tsukuribanashino様なyou naaiwo 売らされるurasareruhito

A person forced to sell a love like a fairy tale

誰かdarekanomuneniudeni miwo預けてもazuketemo

Even as they give their body to someone's arms, someone's chest

kokorowa ただtada一人hitoriwo待つmatsu

Their heart waits only for one

愛するaisuruあのanohitowa 優しくyasashikuusowoついたtsuita

The one they love told a gentle lie

二人futariwa大丈夫daijoubu 明日ashitawo信じてshinjite待っていてmatte iteくれkure

We'll be fine — believe in tomorrow and wait for me

信じられるshinjirarera要素yosoなんてnante どこdokoniあるarunoってtte

"Where is there anything to believe in?" they thought

思いながらもomoi nagara mo そのsono言葉kotobawo おまじないomajinaino様にyou ni

Yet still, those words, like a charm

呟き続けたtsubuyaki tsuzuketa 長いnagai年月nengetsu

They kept whispering, through long, long years

Sir DestinySir Destiny あなたanataでもdemo このkono気持ちkimochiwa動かせないugokase naiでしょうdeshou

Sir Destiny, even you can't move this feeling

幾度目ikudomenoasamo 変わらずkawarazu 優しいyasashiiあのanousowo 思い出しているomoidashite iru

Every morning, without fail, I remember that gentle lie

yumewo掘るhoruhito それsorewo待つmatsuhito

The one who digs for dreams, and the one who waits

定めsadameよりもyori mo 互いtagaiwo信じていたshinjiteita

They believed in each other more than in fate

とあるtoarumachino小さなchiisana教会kyoukaide

In a small church in some town

優しいyasashii長生きnagaikiおばあさんobaasanga 眠りnemuriniついたtsuita

A kind, long-lived old woman fell into her final sleep

ろくにroku ni動けなくなってからもugokenaku natte kara mo

Even after she could barely move anymore

毎朝maiasa 何かnanikawo呟いてtsubuyaite 微笑んだhohoenda

Every morning, she would whisper something and smile

sunanoumide 折れたoretaシャベルshaberuwo持ってmotte

In a sea of sand, holding a broken shovel

作り話tsukuribanashino様なyou na yumewo掘るhoruhito

A person digging for dreams like a fairy tale

刻まれたkizamaretashiwanookuno hitomiwa未だimada

Behind the deep-carved wrinkles, those eyes are still

必死でhisshi de ただtada 必死でhisshi de

Desperately — just, desperately

掘り出したhoridashitanowa

What they dug up was

Sir DestinySir Destiny あんたanta orewo見ているmiteiruka

Sir Destiny, are you watching me?

もうmou飽きたakitaなんてnante 言わせないiwasenaizo

Don't you dare say you've gotten bored

今にもima ni mo yumewo掘り出してhoridashite 見事migoto悔しがらせてkuyashigaraseteやるyaru

Any moment now, I'll dig up that dream and make you eat your heart out

大事なdaiji na何かnanikawo待たせていたmataseteita様なyou na

It feels like I kept something precious waiting

The one who digs for dreams, and the one who waits

幾つもikutsu monoyoruwo 乗り越えたnorikoetauso
