旅路

• By: 藤井風

Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

あの日のことは忘れてね

Forget about that day.

幼すぎて知らなかった

I was too young to understand.

恥ずかしくて消えたいけど

I want to disappear out of embarrassment, but

もう大丈夫

I'm okay now.

旅路は続く

The journey continues.

あの日のことは忘れるね

I'll forget about that day.

みんなだって彷徨ってた

Everyone was wandering too.

この宇宙が教室なら

If this universe is a classroom,

隣りどうし

we're next to each other.

学びは続く

Learning goes on.

果てしないと思えても

Even if it seems endless,

いつか終わりが来ると

I didn't know that an end would come someday.

知らなかったきのうまでより

I felt I could be kinder than yesterday,

優しくなれる気がした

when I didn't know.

僕らはまだ

We are still

先の長い旅の中で

in the long journey ahead.

誰かを愛したり忘れたり

Loving and forgetting someone,

いろいろあるけど

there's a lot going on,

いつの間にか

but before I knew it,

この日さえも懐かしんで

I would even reminisce about this day,

すべてを笑うだろう

and laugh at everything.

すべてを愛すだろう

I would love everything.

お元気ですか？

How are you?

この町は相変わらず

This town is still the same.

青春ですね

It's youth, isn't it?

誰もがみな走ってます

Everyone is running.

まだ見えない

Still unseen,

旅路の先へ

towards the journey ahead.

お元気ですか？

How are you?

僕たちはいつになれど少年です

We are always boys, no matter when.

心の奥底ではいつも

Deep in our hearts,

永遠を求めています

we are always seeking eternity.

果てしないと思ってたものが

What I thought was endless,

ここにはないけど

is not here,

目にしてきた

but I've seen it,

手に触れてきた

I've touched it.

すべてに意味はあるから

Everything has meaning,

僕らはまだ

so we are still

先の長い旅の中で

in the long journey ahead.

何かを愛したり忘れたり

Loving and forgetting something,

いろいろあるけど

there's a lot going on,

これからまた

but from now on,

いろんな愛を受け取って

I'll receive various kinds of love,

あなたに返すだろう

and return it to you.

永遠なる光の中

In the eternal light,

すべてを愛すだろう

I would love everything.
