Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

Light up the evergreen

Light up the evergreen

Light up the evergreen

Light up the evergreen

原色の光の中、君は

In the vivid light, you are

眩しく笑いながら踊る

Dancing while smiling brilliantly

The moment (降り注ぐ Sunlight) 色付けるショウケース

The moment (Showered with sunlight) paints the showcase

変わらないものを いつも探していたけど

I was always searching for what never changes

分かったんだ

I realized

どんな日も (Right Now)

No matter the day (Right Now)

同じ様に (No Doubt)

The same way (No Doubt)

響く歌がある

There’s a song that resonates

流れる汗も気にせずに

Ignoring the sweat that flows

Leggo スピードアップしていく

Let's go, speeding up

Heartbeat 同期する瞬間

The moment our hearts sync

色褪せないときを今 胸に刻む

Carving now into our hearts the timeless moment

Put your hands up in the air

Put your hands up in the air

もっと高くその両手かざす 心のまま

Raise your hands higher, as your heart desires

アツい思いと 響き合う Evergreen

Eternal resonates with passionate feelings

響け Evergreen

Resound, Evergreen

色褪せないときは今 永遠になる

The timeless moment now becomes forever

時を超えて さあ響け Evergreen

Beyond time, sing out, Evergreen

青空がさらに蒼く見えた

The blue sky looked even bluer

そんな日の記憶が背中押す

Memories of those days push me forward

Forever (包み込む Sunset) 理想さえ超えた (Goin' higher than the sky)

Forever (wrapped in sunset) Surpassing even ideals (Goin' higher than the sky)

ここじゃないどこかを 探す人もいるけど

Some are searching for somewhere else, not here

分かったんだ

I understand now

この場所で (Right Here) まだやれる (Ya Hear)

Right here in this place, I can still do it, ya hear

事が残ってる

There's still more to do

踊ろう 誰のためでもない

Let’s dance, not for anyone else

Leggo 解放していく

Let's go, breaking free

Yourself 自由になれ

Be yourself, set yourself free

色褪せないときを今 胸に刻む

Now, etch into your heart the timeless moment

Put your hands up in the air

Put your hands up in the air

もっと高くその両手かざす 心のまま

Raise your hands higher, just as your heart feels

アツい思いと 響き合う Evergreen

Passionate feelings echo, Evergreen

響け Evergreen

Resound, Evergreen

色褪せないときは今 永遠になる

The moment that won't fade becomes eternal now

時を超えて

Beyond time

さあ響け Evergreen

Now, sing out, Evergreen

追い求め続けよう

Let's keep pursuing it

自分なりのシアワセを

Find your own happiness

誰かと比べないでいいから

No need to compare with others

突き上げろ雲

Push up the clouds

突き破る程

Break through

Up and Down 誘う音

Music that invites ups and downs

Break out 解き放つ

Break out, set free

光る未来まで

Until a shining future

色褪せないときを今 胸に刻む

Carving into our hearts now the timeless moment

Put your hands up in the air

Put your hands up in the air

もっと高くその両手かざす 心のまま

Raise your hands higher, just as your heart desires

アツい思いと 響き合う Evergreen

Passionate feelings resonate, Evergreen
