Original Japanese | Japanese Rōmaji | English Translation |
今もずっと、 その声を覚えてるから |
Ima mo zutto sono koe o oboeteru kara |
Even now,
I still remember that voice |
あの日走った道に あの日見上げた空に 二度と帰らない時を かさねてる キミは笑うだろうか 少し怒るだろうね こんな諦め悪い 僕のことを |
Ano hi hashitta michi ni ano hi miageta sora ni nido to kaeranai toki o kasaneteru Kimi wa warau darō ka Sukoshi okoru darō ne, kon’na akirame-warui boku no koto o |
The road where I ran that day The sky I looked up to that day I think about the times that will never come back I wonder if you'll laugh You'll be a little angry, won't you? At someone like me who gives up so easily |
何度でも… 迂闊に願う可能性を精査して まだ甘い嘘に 騙されてたくて |
Nando demo… ukatsu ni negau kanōsei o seisa shite mada amai uso ni damasaretetakute |
But no matter how many times... I examine the possibilities of what I so carelessly hope for and still want to be deceived by sweet lies |
だからどうか、せめて なんて思う心は 一時的な感傷だって許せばいい だからそうさ、 キミがやっと絶望の先で 触れた日々に偽りなんてないと 言ってあげよう |
Dakara dōka semete
nante omou kokoro wa itte ageyō |
So please, at least forgive my heart that thinks such momentary sentiments So yes, about the days you finally touched beyond despair |
ほんの短い夢や
ほんの些細な会話 |
Hon’no mijikai yume ya
hon’no sasai na kaiwa |
A fleeting dream A trivial conversation We're free to let our thoughts wander there Perhaps it's a childlike stubbornness that no one approves of But it's a step that must be taken |
これからも… 自分なりの正しさで向きあってく たとえ無力な現実だとしても |
Kore kara mo… jibun-nari no tadashisa de mukiatteku tatoe muryoku na genjitsu da to shitemo |
From now on... I'll face things with my own sense of right and wrong Even if reality seems helpless |
僕は僕を、最後まで あきらめないよ どんな時も精一杯に抗いたい だからいつか、この声が 優しい響きで また誰かを救えるように 今日を生きていくんだ |
Boku wa boku o saigo made
akiramenai yo |
Until the very end I won't give up on myself I want to fight with all my might no matter the situation So someday, with this voice with a gentle sound I'll save someone else once more Living for today |
終わらない迷路のように 彷徨って繋がる未来 結末はまだできてない |
Owaranai meiro no yō ni samayotte tsunagaru mirai Ketsumatsu wa mada dekitenai |
Like a never-ending maze the future wanders and connects The ending is still unwritten |
だからどうか、せめてなんて 思う心は 一時的な感傷だって許せばいい だからそうさ、 キミがやっと絶望の先で 触れた日々に偽りなんてないね |
Dakara dōka semete nante omou kokoro wa ichiji-teki na kanshō da tte yuruseba ii Dakara sō sa kimi ga yatto zetsubō no saki de fureta hibi ni itsuwari nante nai ne |
So please, at least forgive my heart that thinks such momentary sentiments So yes, |
僕は僕を、最後まで 諦めないよ どんな時も精一杯に抗いたい だからいつか、その声が 優しい響きで また誰かを救えるように 今日を生きていくんだ |
Boku wa boku o saigo made
akiramenai yo |
Until the very end I won't give up on myself I want to fight with all my might no matter the situation So someday, with this voice with a gentle sound I'll save someone else once more Living for today |
忘れないで 忘れないで 忘れないで |
Wasurenaide, wasurenaide Wasurenaide |
Don't forget, don't forget Don’t forget |
