Lyrics & Translation
Thrilled and hurt, I keep rushing around
I'll create what I want in this world
In that fleeting moment of small, quiet things disappearing
In this era, whether you take your time or not
In the end, everything just blends together
Surely, there are some who notice the difference
Let's believe that and carefully make it just right
Today, when love isn't meant for me
Even if it's hard to face straight on and move forward, still
I want to truly feel it—when it's gone from my throat
See, both sour and sweet—both taste delightful
That's life—my life
Ah, I want to taste it all to my hearts content
I want to love someone—that's my freedom
This life is full of dreams
There are things I want in this world
Big, brave, and unchanging forever
In this era, well, isn't that supposed to be new?
Good, perhaps, but old things are precious
I want to age naturally, always
Just like you, I want to be—Mount Fuji
For those I can never meet again, their happiness
Even if I wish from afar, it might sound pompous—but
I want to feel it deeply—getting close makes me sad
And stepping back, it all seems more delightful
That’s life—my life
Ah, it belongs to no one
No one can take it away—because I am free
This life is full of dreams
