東京Toukyou

東京toukyouをwo象徴shouchouしてshiteいるiruロボットrobottoみたいなmitai naビルbiruのno街machi

Tokyo — a city of buildings like robots that symbolize it

目一杯meippai　精一杯seiippaiのno

Giving everything, with all they've got

働くhataraku人hitoでde今日kyouもmoごった返してるgottegaeshiteru

Bustling again today with working people

信号待ち。shingou machi.足ashiをwo止めてtomete誰かdarekaがga口笛kuchibueをwo吹いてるfuiteru

Waiting at a red light. Someone stops and whistles

とぎれとぎれtogiretogireのno旋律senritsuだけどdakedo

A broken, halting melody

なぜかしらnaze ka shira　少しsukoshiだけdake癒されてるiyasareteru

But somehow, it soothes me just a little

描いたegaita夢yume

The dreams I painted

それsoreをwo追い続けたってoitsuzuketatte　所詮shosen

Even if I keep chasing them — after all

たどり着けるtadoritsukeruのnoはwaひとにぎりhitonigiriのno人hitoだけdakeだdaとto知ってるshitteru

I know only a handful of people ever get there

「それならば"sore nara ba何nanのnoためにtame ni頑張ってる？」ganbatteru?"

"Then what are you working so hard for?"

とかtoka言いながらiinagara分かってるwakatteru

I say things like that, but I already know

このkono街machiにni大切なtaisetsu na人hitoがgaいるiru

There's someone dear to me in this city

東京toukyouはwa後戻りatomodoriしないshinai

Tokyo never looks back

老いてくoiteku者monoをwo置き去りokizariにniしてshite

Leaving behind those who grow old

目一杯meippai　手一杯teippaiのno

With its hands full, overflowing

目新しいmeatarashiiモノmonoをwo抱え込んでくkakaekonDeku

Taking on all the newest things

思い出omoideがgaいっぱいippai詰まったtsumatta景色keshikiだってdatte　またmata

Even the scenery packed with memories will

破壊hakaiされるsareruからkara　出来るだけdekiru dake執着shuuchakuしないshinaiようにyou niしてるshiteru

Be destroyed again, so I try not to cling to it

それでもsoredemo匂いnioiとto共にtomo ni記憶kiokuしてるshiteru

But still, along with the scent, I remember

遺伝子idenshiにni刻み込まれてくkizamikomareteku

It gets carved into my DNA

このkono胸muneにni大切なtaisetsu na場所bashoがgaあるaru

There's a place dear to me in this heart

バイパスbaipasuにni架かるkakaru歩道橋hodoukyouからkaraよくyoku見えるmieru

You can see it well from the overpass above the bypass

ベランダberandaにni咲いたsaita彩とりどりirodori doriのno花hana

Colorful flowers blooming on a balcony

甘いamai匂いnioiがgaこのkono胸muneにniあふれ出すafuredasu

A sweet scent wells up in my chest

あのano人hitoにni手紙tegamiでもdemo書こうkakouかなぁ？ka naa?

Maybe I should write that person a letter

描いたegaita夢、yume,理想risouをwo追い続けたってoitsuzuketatte　多分tabun

The dreams I painted, the ideals I keep chasing — probably

ものにできるmono ni dekiruのnoはwaひとにぎりhitonigiriのno人hitoだけどdakedo

Only a handful of people ever make it

あとato少しsukoshi頑張ってganbatteみようmiyouかなka na

But maybe I'll try a little harder

それでもsoredemoいつかitsuka可能性kanouseiがga消えるkieru日hiがga来てkiteもmo

Even if the day comes when all possibility fades

大切なtaisetsu na人hitoはwaいるiru

There are still people dear to me

Even the scenery packed with memories will

破壊hakaiされるsareruからkara　出来るだけdekiru dake執着shuuchakuしないshinaiようにyou niしてるshiteru
