[English]

An old man said to you

“Let me buy the rest of your life

I’ll buy 50 years for 5 billion.”

I want to redo my life

...

Just waking up, eating, and working

Every day is just waking up and working

Yet I don’t want to let go

I thought about the reasons

My body would start to hurt

I guess I’d lose my friends too

I wouldn’t be able to love

At that price, it can’t be sold

The time I’m living now

Is worth more than 5 billion, right?

Just being alive is a huge profit

What more do I want?

...

An old man said to you

“Then I’ll offer double, 10 billion

I’ll include a wife and kids too.”

“I’ll throw in a mansion and a job.”

If 50 years is 10 billion,

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

But I want to find someone I love

So I don’t need it.

The time I’m living now

Is worth more than 10 billion, right?

Just being alive is a huge profit

I like the now where I can be anything

I can dream any dream

I can love in any way

The infinite possibilities

Are something I won’t give up

Even if I stop dozens of times

I still won’t give up on myself

The reason I live

Is something I decide

The time we live

Is never something cheap

I want you to choose without regrets

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

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

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

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

...

[Japanese]

⽼⼈が君に⾔いました

『残りの寿命を買わせてよ

50年を50億で買おう』

⼈⽣をやり直したいと

ただ起きて⾷って働いて

寝て起きて働く毎⽇だ

それなのに⼿放したくない

理由を考えてみたよ

⾝体も痛くなるだろうし

友達もいなくなるんだろうな

恋愛もできなくなるよな

その値段じゃ売れないな

僕が⽣きてるこの時間は

50億以上の価値があるでしょう

⽣きているだけでまるもうけ

これ以上何が欲しいというの

⽼⼈が君に⾔いました

『それなら倍の100億出そう

奥さん、⼦供もつけるから』

『豪邸も仕事もつけるからさ』

50年が100億ならば

年収2億の⼤富豪だ

でも好きな⼈は⾃分でさ

⾒つけたいからいらないよ

僕が⽣きてるこの時間は

100億以上の価値があるでしょう

⽣きているだけでまるもうけ

何にでもなれる今がいいの

どんな夢を描いてもいい

どんな恋をしたっていい

無限⼤の可能性は

誰にも譲れない

何⼗回⽴ち⽌まっても

それでも僕を諦めない

僕が⽣きる理由は

僕が決めるから

僕らが⽣きる時間は

決して安いものじゃないから

後悔しない選択を選んで欲しいの

頑張ろう 頑張ろう 頑張れ

頑張ろう 頑張ろう 頑張れ

頑張ろう 頑張ろう 頑張れ

頑張ろう 頑張ろう 頑張れ
