The sound of my own footsteps, changed from yesterday, made me somehow happy

あてateもmoなくnaku隣tonariのno町machiまでmade　何もnanimo考えずkangaezuしばらくshibaraku歩いてaruite

With no destination, I walked to the next town over, not thinking about anything for a while

"I haven't done something like this in a long time..." I vaguely thought

One more step, then the next step, stamp your footsteps loud!

時にはtoki niwa灯りakariのnoないnai

寂しいsabishii夜yoruがga来たってkitatte

With no light at all

Someone out there is surely listening to these footsteps

疲れてtsukarete歩けないんならarukenain'nara　立ち止まってtachidomatteしがみついていればshigamitsuite ireba

If you're too tired to walk, just hold on tight and stand still

地球chikyuuはwa回っていってmawatte itte　きっとkittoいいii方向houkouへe　僕らbokuraをwo運んでくれるhakonde kureru

The earth keeps spinning and will carry us somewhere good

Making up for each other's weakness

大切なtaisetsu na誰かdarekaとto歩いていけるaruite ikeruならnara
