FLY

• By: BoA

Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

ここではない

It's not here

そう、きっとどこかに

That's right, surely somewhere out there

夢に見たような希望があると

There’s hope like in a dream I've seen

いまを何一つ愛せなくなる

And now I can't love any of this moment

切りのない不安って

Endless anxiety feels

そう、意味のないもので

Yes, meaningless things

How I started it all again?

How did I start it all over again?

How I ended it all again?

How did I end it all over again?

彷徨いながら 泣き笑い 何度でも

Wandering, crying and laughing, again and again

いつだって最後には空見てた

Always, in the end, I looked up at the sky

透明な翼を広げて

With transparent wings spread wide

So I’m flying 風になって

So I’m flying, becoming the wind

あの日の私を　抱きしめてあげよう

Holding my past self tight

It’s my life ここにいるよ

This is my life, I’m here now

迷うたび少しだけ　強くなれる気がする

Every time I hesitate, I feel a little stronger

確かなリズムで Feel the beat of my heart

With a steady rhythm, feel the beat of my heart

切なくて 泣きたくっても

Even if I’m sad and want to cry

It’s about the time. It’s about the time

It’s about the time. It’s about the time

I’ll, Fight my memories

I’ll fight my memories

ここにはいない

I am not here

もう、きっとどこにも

Surely, not anywhere anymore

愛してくれる人はいないと

There’s no one to love me now

今の自分を愛せなくなる

And I can’t love myself in this moment

果てない悲しみって

Endless sadness feels

理由のないもので

For no reason at all

How I started it all again?

How did I start it all over again?

How I ended it all again?

How did I end it all over again?

ココロだけに支配されないでいて

Don’t just be controlled by your heart

物語(ストーリー)は最後までわからない

The story isn’t over till the very end

新しい自分を信じて

Believe in a new version of yourself

So I’m flying 風に乗って

So I’m flying, riding the wind

未来の私に　追いついてみせよう

Trying to catch up with the future me

It’s my life 前向いて

This is my life, face forward

進むたび少しずつ　楽になれる気がする

Every step forward makes things a little easier

確かなリズムで Feel the beat of my heart

With a steady rhythm, feel the beat of my heart

リアルな孤独の中でも

Even in real loneliness

It’s about the time. It’s about the time

It’s about the time. It’s about the time

I’ll, Fight for tomorrow

I’ll fight for tomorrow
