東京Tokyo賛歌Sanka

空soraとto地面jimenがgaあるaru街machiだよdayo　育ったsodatta街machiとto　どうdou違うchigauだろうdarou

It's a city with a sky and a ground — how is it different from the town I grew up in?

違いchigaiがga言えるieruのnoはwaどうしてdoushiteだろうdarou　ここkokoへe来てkiteからkara教わったんだよosowattandayo

Why can I name the differences? I learned them after coming here

嘘usoがga多いooiとかtoka　冷たいtsumetaiとかtoka　星hoshiがga見えないmienaiとかtoka　苦情kujouのno嵐arashi

Too many lies, too cold, can't see the stars — a storm of complaints

上手くumakuいかないikanai事kotoのno腹いせharaiseだろうdarou　ここkokoはwa幾つもikutsumo受け止めてuketometeきたkita

Just venting because things aren't going well — this city has taken plenty of that

何naniをwoしにshi ni来たんだっけkitandakke　誰dareのnoためtameなんだっけnandakke

What did I come here for again? Who was it for again?

道路douroもmo線路senroもmo　繋がってるtsunagatteruけどkedo　そりゃそうだけどsorya sou dakedo

The roads and the tracks are all connected, but — well, obviously

勝手にkatte ni飛び出してtobidashite　勝手にkatte ni辿り着いたtadoritsuita

I bolted out on my own, arrived on my own

このkono街machiだけdakeがga知ってるshitteruよyo　忘れたwasureta夢yumeのno　引き出しhikidashiをwo

Only this city knows — the drawer where my forgotten dreams are kept

あの頃ano koroいつもitsumo側sobaにni居たita　嫌いなkirai na好きなsuki na　そのsono人達hitotachiをwo

The people who were always by my side back then — the ones I hated, the ones I loved

今imaほどhodo大切にtaisetsu ni思えてomoeteましたかmashita ka　ここkokoへe来てkiteからkara気が付いたんだよki ga tsuitandayo

Did I treasure them as much as I do now? I realized that after coming here

人hitoはwaどこにdoko ni居てもite mo　そのsono人hitoのnoままmamaだよdayo

No matter where you are, a person stays the same

離れたhanareta誰かdarekaもmo　離れたhanareta自分jibunもmo　生きてるんだよikiterundayo

The ones you left behind, the self you left behind — they're still alive

勝手にkatte ni選ばれてerabarete　勝手にkatte ni嫌われたkirawareta

Chosen for no reason, disliked for no reason

このkono街machiだけdakeがga持ってるmotteruよyo　帰れないkaerenai君kimiのno　いるiru場所bashoをwo

Only this city has it — a place for you who can't go home

嘘usoがga多いooiのnoはwaどこでもdokodemoだろうdarou　星hoshiがga見えたってmietatte　どうせdouse飽きるakiruだろうdarou

Lies are everywhere, aren't they? Even if you could see the stars, you'd get bored of them

すれ違うsurechigau中nakaにniはwa似たnita理由riyuuでde　ここkokoへe来たkita人hitoもmo少なくないsukunaku naiだろうdarou

Among the people passing by, quite a few probably came here for the same reason

何naniをwoしにshi ni来たんだっけkitandakke　誰dareがga決めたんだっけkimetandakke

What did I come here for again? Who decided that again?

地面jimenもmo空soraもmo　繋がってるんだよtsunagatterundayo　未来miraiとto過去kakoもmo

The ground and the sky are all connected — the future and the past, too

勝手にkatte ni飛び出してtobidashite　勝手にkatte ni辿り着いたtadoritsuita

I bolted out on my own, arrived on my own

このkono街machiだけdakeがga知ってるshitteruよyo　取り返したtorikaeshita夢yumeのno　そのsono続きtsuzukiをwo

Only this city knows — the rest of the story of the dreams I took back

勝手にkatte ni選ばれてerabarete　勝手にkatte ni嫌われたkirawareta

Chosen for no reason, disliked for no reason

このkono街machiだけdakeがga持ってるmotteruよyo　帰れないkaerenai君kimiのno　いるiru場所bashoをwo

Only this city has it — a place for you who can't go home

このkono街machiだけdakeがga知ってるshitteruよyo　育ったsodatta街machiへeのno　帰り方kaerikataをwo

Only this city knows — the way back to the town I grew up in
