世界中の灯りをともしてさ

Let's light up the whole world

君の涙に手を伸ばすんだよ

Reach out your hand to your tears

夜明け間近の彗星みたいに

Like a comet just before sunrise

ほら ラストシーンは凛とした青だ

See, the final scene is a resolute blue

息を切らして 風を追い越して

Breathing hard, overtaking the wind

ここまで来たんだよ

We made it this far

戦うのさ 僕らは強く生きるため

We fight, to live boldly

君の涙が教えてくれた

Your tears taught me

迷わないで信じた一筋の光

Don’t hesitate, just believe in that single light

残したいものはたったひとつだけ

There’s only one thing I want to leave behind

似た者同士だねって笑う

We laugh, saying we’re alike

そんな景色だ

That’s the kind of scenery this is

...

諦めないと決めた空の下

Under the sky where I decided not to give up

あぁ 君のことが愛しく思えたよ

Ah, I started to cherish you

風の向こうで 花が咲いていた

Beyond the wind, flowers were blooming

一人じゃないんだと

I realize I’m not alone

守りたいと願った なりふり構わず

Wishing to protect, without hesitation

君の涙を僕に預けて

Entrust your tears to me

大丈夫さ 小さく頷いてほしい

It’s okay, I just want you to nod softly

手に入れたモノも失ったモノも

What I gained, what I lost

その先で輝くモノも

And what shines beyond that

いつかきっとさ

Someday, surely

...

2021年しるしをつけよう

Let’s leave our mark in 2021

君と僕がおんなじ世界で息をした

You and I breathed in the same world

その証として

As proof of that

We fight, to live strongly

君の涙が教えてくれた

Your tears showed me

迷わないで信じた一筋の光

Don’t hesitate, trust that one true light
