Lyrics & Translation
“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
