Lyrics & Translation
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
