THE SONG

川辺kawabeにni流れるnagareru一枚ichimaiのno葉っぱhappaみたいmitaiだdaねne　平凡なheibon na日々hibiのno中naka

Like a single leaf drifting along a riverbank — within these ordinary days

そんなsonna風fuuにniしかshika見えてなかったmietenakatta

That's all it looked like to me

小説shousetsuにniなるnaruようなyou naものmonoじゃja無いnaiがga　恋koiもmo別れwakareもmo夢yumeもmo見て来たmite kita

Nothing that would make a novel, yet I've known love and parting, I've chased dreams

いくつもikutsu moこのkono手teからkaraすり抜けsurinuke　一つhitotsuだけdake離さなかったhanasanakatta

So many things have slipped through these hands — but one thing, I never let go

何かnanika得たetaつもりtsumoriでde　何naniもmo得ちゃいなかったeccha inakatta　そんなsonna日々hibiがga続いてtsuzuiteいたitaからkara

Because days like that kept on — thinking I'd gained something, but having gained nothing at all

手teにniあるaru全てsubeteがgaありきたりarikitariだったdatta　特別なtokubetsu naものmonoはwa何naniもmo無かったnakatta

Everything in my hands was ordinary — nothing special anywhere

いつもitsumo少しsukoshi遅れてokurete訪れるotozureru後悔koukaiにni　気づきながらkizukinagara怯えていたobiete ita

I always knew regret would come just a little too late, and I lived in fear of it

ガムシャラなgamushara na十年juunenからkara得たeta事kotoはwa　一瞬isshunでde過ぎ去るsugisaru十年juunenのno儚さhakanasa

What ten reckless years taught me — the fleeting nature of ten years that pass in an instant

歩き続けたarukitsuzuketa　まだmada此処kokoでdeはwa終われないowarenaiとto

I kept walking — telling myself I couldn't end it here

ありきたりなarikitari na日々hibiがga特別tokubetsuにni変わってkawatte行くikuようにyou ni

So that these ordinary days could change into something special

時にtoki ni全てsubete　努力doryokuがga報われてるmukuwareteru　そんなsonna気kiがgaしたshita

Sometimes it all felt like — the effort was being rewarded

時にtoki ni全てsubeteのno　無意味なmuimi na　砂sunaをwo積み上げるtsumiageru作業sagyouにni見えたmieta

Other times it all looked like — meaningless work, just piling sand

本当hontouのno強さtsuyosaとtoはwa何かnani ka　本当hontouのno弱さyowasaとtoはwa何かnani ka

What is true strength? What is true weakness?

永遠eienのno愛ai　なぜnaze必要なhitsuyou naのnoかka　百年hyakunenそこらsokoraのno命inochiのno中nakaでde

Why do we need eternal love — within a life of only around a hundred years?

若さwakasaをwo与えられてataerarete　なぜnaze奪われてubawarete行くikuのnoかka

Why are we given youth, only to have it taken away?

結局のところkekkyoku no tokoro分からないwakaranaiけれどkeredo

I still don't know, in the end

ただtada歌うutau事kotoやya意思ishiをwo叫ぶsakebu事kotoにni　震えるfurueruほどhodo情熱jounetsuをwo感じたkanjita

But I felt a passion that made me tremble — in singing, in crying out what I believed

平等byoudouにni過ぎてsugite行くiku全てsubeteのno時間jikanがga　何nanなnaのnoかka分からないwakaranaiけどkedo

I don't know what all this time is — passing equally for everyone — but

熱くatsuku生きたikita十年juunenからkara得たeta事kotoはwa　どれほどdorehodo人hitoがga変わってkawatte行けるikeruかka

What ten years of living with fire taught me — how much a person can change

誰かdarekaのno理解rikai　理由riyuu　何もいらないnani mo iranai

Someone's understanding, a reason — none of it is needed

ただtadaそのsono感覚kankakuでde　魂tamashiiをwo奮わせfuruwase生きてikite行くiku

Just with that feeling, I'll stir my soul and keep living

出来るdekiru言い訳iiwakeなんてnante　もうmou無いnai

There are no more excuses I can make

完璧なkanpeki na状態joutaiでde戦えてるtatakaeteru奴yatsuのno方houがga少ないsukunai

Very few people can fight in perfect condition

大なり小なりdainari shounari傷kizuはwa仕方が無いshikata ga nai

Wounds, big or small — that can't be helped

それにしてもsore ni shitemo随分zuibunたくさんtakusanのno　大切なtaisetsu naもの達mono tachiをwo奪われてubawareteしまったshimattaけどkedo

Even so, so many precious things have been taken from me

まだmada失うushinauわけwakeにniはwaいかないikanaiよyo　どんなdonna未曾有mizouのno悲劇higekiがga起きてもokitemo

I still can't afford to lose — no matter what unprecedented tragedy strikes

愛ai　夢yume　理想risou　希望kibou　それsoreがgaどんなにもdonna ni mo　素敵なsuteki na事kotoかka思い出してomoidashite

Love, dreams, ideals, hope — remember how beautiful all of that truly is

残されたnokosareta時間jikan　才能sainou　運命unmeiがga決めたkimeta限界genkaiがga此処kokoだdaとtoしてもshitemo

Even if the time I have left, the talent I have, the limit fate decided — even if this is it

従うshitagauつもりtsumoriはwaないnai　理解rikai　理由riyuuもmoいらないiranaiよyo

I have no intention of obeying — no understanding or reason needed

ただtadaこのkono感覚kankakuでde　魂tamashiiをwo奮わせfuruwase生きてikite行くiku

Just with this feeling, I'll stir my soul and keep living
