[English]

ねぇ君と描いたあてのない旅も

Hey, the aimless journey we drew together

振り向けば今は愛おしく想う

When I look back, I now think fondly of it

ねぇいいことばかりあった訳じゃないね

Hey, it wasn't all good times, was it?

それでも今は誇らしく想う

Still, now I feel proud of it

明日はって願い掛けて

Wishing for tomorrow

雨上がり空越えた

Crossing the sky after the rain

必死の未来を

A desperate future

染めてきて そうさ

I've been coloring it, that's right

僕らここにいる

We're here

届けと振り絞った声が

The voice I strained to deliver

見つめる君のその目が

Those eyes of yours that are watching

あの日からそう

Since that day, yes

繋いできた僕らの全てで ねぇ

With everything we've connected, hey

救いたい強く願っては

I want to save you, wishing strongly

救われてきた僕らは

We've been saved, haven't we?

まだ止まれない

We still can't stop

次回予告を一緒に描いて

Let's draw the next preview together

いざ 行こう 行こう

Now, let's go, let's go

もう大丈夫だよと手を繋いだけど

I held your hand, saying it's okay now

本当は僕ら背伸びをしてたね

But really, we were stretching ourselves, weren't we?

もう全部捨てずに進んでいくって

I sang that I would move forward without throwing everything away

歌ってはみても不安だったんだ

But I was anxious even while singing

明日もって思い続く

Thinking about tomorrow, I keep going

満ち足りないでしょ？今も

Aren't you still unsatisfied? Even now

行かなくちゃなんて

I have to go, they say

言わないでたって

But don't say that

僕ら進んでく

We're moving forward

ちっぽけな僕らの未来

Our tiny future

終わらない旅の途中

In the middle of an endless journey

何回だって

No matter how many times

行き場のない夜を繰り返して

Repeating nights with nowhere to go

分かり合いたい願っては

Wishing to understand each other

分かり合えないって泣いてた

I cried that we couldn't understand

でもひとつ言える

But I can say one thing

今も君といるそれが全て

Being with you now is everything

ねぇ 行こう 行こう

Hey, let's go, let's go

届けと振り絞った声が

The voice I strained to deliver

見つめる君のその目が

Those eyes of yours that are watching

あの日からそう

Since that day, yes

繋いできた僕らの全てで そう

With everything we've connected, yes

救いたい強く願っては

I want to save you, wishing strongly

救われてきた僕らは

We've been saved, haven't we?

まだ終わらない

It still isn't over

次回予告を君と描こう

Let's draw the next preview together

いざ 行け 行け

Now, go, go
