Lyrics & Translation

[Japanese]

[English]

息を切らし 未来探し 走り続けた

Breathing hard, searching for the future, I kept running

望んでいた ゴールよりも先 行こう

Going beyond the goal I once wished for, let's move forward

誰もまだ見てない 光る汗の跡

The shining marks of sweat that no one has seen yet

痛いくらい鼓動 胸を叩く

My pounding heart hurts, beating in my chest

Borderless! 過去の傷掬い取って

Borderless! Taking in the wounds of the past

Borderless! 明日に放て

Borderless! Let it out into tomorrow

まだ Borderless!

Still Borderless!

この世界たどり着く

Reaching this world

臆病な僕に今さよなら

Saying goodbye to my timid self now

夢を見つめ 抱きしめたら 怖くなるくらい

If I hold onto my dreams, it can make me so scared

望んでいた 景色は途方もなく 広い

The scenery I longed for is unimaginably vast

痛みと共に 大きくなる願い

With pain, my wishes grow bigger

包み込んだら もう離さない

Once I embrace them, I won't let go

Borderless! 過去の弱さも全て

Borderless! All the weaknesses of the past

Borderless! 明日に光れ

Borderless! Shine into tomorrow

まだ Borderless!

Still Borderless!

この世界乗り越える

Overcoming this world

例え その声が届かずとも

Even if that voice doesn't reach me

涙のわけを 探し求めてた

I was seeking the reason behind my tears

自分に勝つまでは 終わらないけれど

It won't end until I defeat myself

積み上げた足音 どこまでも響け!

Let my footsteps echo endlessly!

Borderless! 過去の傷掬い取って

Borderless! Taking in the wounds of the past

Borderless! 明日に放て

Borderless! Let it out into tomorrow

まだ Borderless!

Still Borderless!

この世界たどり着く

Reaching this world

臆病な僕に 今さよなら

Saying goodbye to my timid self now
