Lyrics & Translation

[Japanese]

[English]

何度失ったって 取り返してみせるよ

No matter how many times I lose, I'll show you I can get them back

雨上がり 虹がかかった空みたいな君の笑みを

Your smile, like a rainbow after the rain in the sky

例えばその代償に 誰かの表情を曇らせてしまったっていい

For example, even if it costs someone else their expression to do so

悪者は僕だけでいい

It's okay if only I am the villain

本当はいつでも誰もと思いやりあっていたい

Honestly, I want to care and think of everyone, always

でもそんな悠長な理想論はここで捨てなくちゃな

But I have to give up such naive ideals here

遥か先で 君へ 狙いを定めた恐怖を

Fearing the distant future, aiming at you

どれだけ僕ははらい切れるんだろう？

How much can I really let go of this fear?

半信半疑で 世間体 気にしてばっかのイエスタデイ

Doubting everything, just worrying about appearances, that yesterday

ポケットの中で怯えたこの手はまだ忘れられないまま

My trembling hand still can't forget those memories in my pocket

「何度傷ついたって 仕方ないよ」と言って

Saying, 'No matter how many wounds I take, it's no use'

うつむいて 君がこぼした 儚くなまぬるい涙

Hunched over, tears so fleeting and lukewarm that you shed

ただの一粒だって 僕を不甲斐なさで 溺れさせて

Even a single drop makes me drown in my own helplessness

理性を奪うには十分過ぎた

It was enough to steal my reason away

街のクラクションもサイレンも届きやしないほど

So distant that the city horns and sirens can't reach

遥か先へ進め 身勝手すぎる恋だと

Keep moving forward, even if this love is too selfish

世界が後ろから指差しても

Even if the world is pointing and blaming from behind

振り向かず進め 必死で 君の元へ急ぐよ

Don't look back, go on, rushing desperately to you

道の途中で聞こえたSOSさえ気づかないふりで

Pretending not to hear the SOS heard along the way

バイバイイエスタデイ ごめんね

Bye bye yesterday, sorry

名残惜しいけど行くよ

Even if I regret leaving this behind

いつかの憧れと違う僕でも

Even if I am different from who I once admired

ただ1人だけ 君だけ 守るための強さを

The strength to protect only you, the one and only

何よりも望んでいた

More than anything I wanted

この手に今

Right now, in these hands

遥か先へ進め 幼すぎる恋だと

Keep moving forward, even if this love is too immature

世界が後ろから指差しても

Even if the world points and blames from behind

迷わずに進め 進め 2人だけの宇宙へと

Move on without hesitation, toward our universe alone

ポケットの中で震えたこの手で今君を連れ出して

With these trembling hands in my pocket, I’ll take you away now

未来の僕は知らない だから視線は止まらない

The future me doesn't know, so I can't look away

謎めいた表現技法 意味深な君の気性

Mysterious expressions, meaningful moods

アイラブユーさえ 風に 飛ばされそうな時でも

Even when 'I love you' feels like it might blow away with the wind

不器用ながら繋いだ この手はもう決して離さずに

Even if awkwardly, this hand I held on to won't ever let go

虹の先へ

Beyond the rainbow
