Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

⽼⼈が君に⾔いました

An old man said to you

『残りの寿命を買わせてよ

“Let me buy the rest of your life

50年を50億で買おう』

I’ll buy 50 years for 5 billion.”

⼈⽣をやり直したいと

I want to redo my life

...

...

ただ起きて⾷って働いて

Just waking up, eating, and working

寝て起きて働く毎⽇だ

Every day is just waking up and working

それなのに⼿放したくない

Yet I don’t want to let go

理由を考えてみたよ

I thought about the reasons

⾝体も痛くなるだろうし

My body would start to hurt

友達もいなくなるんだろうな

I guess I’d lose my friends too

恋愛もできなくなるよな

I wouldn’t be able to love

その値段じゃ売れないな

At that price, it can’t be sold

僕が⽣きてるこの時間は

The time I’m living now

50億以上の価値があるでしょう

Is worth more than 5 billion, right?

⽣きているだけでまるもうけ

Just being alive is a huge profit

これ以上何が欲しいというの

What more do I want?

...

...

⽼⼈が君に⾔いました

An old man said to you

『それなら倍の100億出そう

“Then I’ll offer double, 10 billion

奥さん、⼦供もつけるから』

I’ll include a wife and kids too.”

『豪邸も仕事もつけるからさ』

“I’ll throw in a mansion and a job.”

50年が100億ならば

If 50 years is 10 billion,

年収2億の⼤富豪だ

That’s a billionaire with an annual income of 2 billion.

でも好きな⼈は⾃分でさ

But I want to find someone I love

⾒つけたいからいらないよ

So I don’t need it.

僕が⽣きてるこの時間は

The time I’m living now

100億以上の価値があるでしょう

Is worth more than 10 billion, right?

⽣きているだけでまるもうけ

Just being alive is a huge profit

何にでもなれる今がいいの

I like the now where I can be anything

どんな夢を描いてもいい

I can dream any dream

どんな恋をしたっていい

I can love in any way

無限⼤の可能性は

The infinite possibilities

誰にも譲れない

Are something I won’t give up

何⼗回⽴ち⽌まっても

Even if I stop dozens of times

それでも僕を諦めない

I still won’t give up on myself

僕が⽣きる理由は

The reason I live

僕が決めるから

Is something I decide

僕らが⽣きる時間は

The time we live

決して安いものじゃないから

Is never something cheap

後悔しない選択を選んで欲しいの

I want you to choose without regrets

頑張ろう 頑張ろう 頑張れ

Let’s do our best, let’s do our best, hang in there

頑張ろう 頑張ろう 頑張れ

Let’s do our best, let’s do our best, hang in there

頑張ろう 頑張ろう 頑張れ

Let’s do our best, let’s do our best, hang in there

頑張ろう 頑張ろう 頑張れ

Let’s do our best, let’s do our best, hang in there

...
