[English]

I'm doing fine, no worries necessary

Sometimes I have sleepless nights thinking too much

More than that, Grandma, are you doing well over there?

Always eating sweets isn't good for your health

As long as you live without wasting away, good things can happen too

"Baby, I love you"

So, why not try a crazy life together?

Even if it’s full of poverty and hardships

"Then, I'd be happy"

I'm still just a kid, two years young; the baby is only one

Tears blur the payday details

Oh, by the way, today's the anniversary of their passing

Why did they have to die?

Why did they have to die, I wonder?

Why did they have to leave?

Sadness gets on a bus, and then...

Anywhere is fine, let’s go somewhere

What’s the purpose of my burning life?

Here and now, I’ve had enough, with you

Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go

I'm doing fine, no worries necessary

Though I have this habit of feeling lonely when I meet kindness from others

And Mom, listen, Mom

Your strength, I just can’t imitate it

I'm still half-made, managing a life of three

Now I realize it, I carry it, and I decide to take action

The sincerity I’ll now pursue

The trust I’ll finally regain

I hear whispers saying, 'Tragedy pays'

Don’t be ridiculous; it’s not something anyone can sell

Sadness gets on a bus, and then...

Anywhere is fine, let’s go somewhere

When will this life burn out?

Whenever it’s fine, as long as it’s us

Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go

Ordinary days, overflowing days

Average happiness

Ordinary days, overflowing days

Average happiness

Ordinary days, overflowing days

Average happiness

Ordinary days, overflowing days

[Japanese]

ぼくなら順調さ 心配は要らない　

たまに考えすぎて眠れない夜もあるけど

それよりばあちゃん、あんたあっちでちゃんと元気？

甘いものばっかり 身体によくないぜ

腐らないように生きてたらいいこともあるもんだ

「ベイビー、アイラヴユー

だからCrazyなLifeを一緒にどう？

貧乏で苦労ばっかかもしれないけれど」

「なら、喜んで」

まだまだまだぼくは青二歳、赤ん坊は一歳

涙で滲むは給料明細

あ。そういえば今日はあいつの命日だ

なんで死んだんだっけ

どうして死ななきゃいけなかったんだろう

悲しみはバスに乗って、それで

どこでもいい どこかへと行こう

この命が燃える目的は何？

ここで、もういい きみとなら

行こう 行こう 行こう

ぼくなら順調さ 心配は要らない

人の優しさに触れて淋しくなる癖はなおらないけど

それから母さん、あのね母さん

あなたの強さはやっぱ真似できないや

まだまだぼくは半人前　生活は三人前

今になって思い知る。いま担って思い切る

これから取りに行く誠実さや

ようやく取り返す信用や

「悲劇は金になるから」囁く声が聞こえる

バカ言え 誰かに売れるもんじゃない

悲しみはバスに乗って、それで

どこでもいい どこかへと行こう

この命が燃え尽きるのはいつ？

いつでもいい ぼくらなら

行こう 行こう 行こう

ありふれた日、ありあまる日

ありきたりなしあわせ

ありふれた日、ありあまる日

ありきたりなしあわせ

ありふれた日、ありあまる日

ありきたりなしあわせ

ありふれた日、ありあまる日

ありきたりなしあわせ
