[日本語]

[English]

ねぇどこから来たの？

Hey, where are you coming from?

どこに行くの？

Where are you going?

どんな涙を泳いでるの？

What kind of tears are you swimming through?

もう大丈夫

It's okay now

こっちにおいでよ

Come over here

同じ海に愛されてるから

Because we're loved by the same sea

Oooh, Oooh

Oooh, Oooh

隣にいたいな

I want to stay by your side

Oooh, Oooh

Oooh, Oooh

Forever family

Forever family

傷つけて 傷つけられて

Getting hurt and hurting others

抱えた過去を僕に持たせて

Let me carry the past we've held onto

すれ違って 振り翳した手

We pass by each other, and then we reach out our hands

何度でもまた握り合うまで

Again and again, until we finally hold hands

太陽に乗っかった 3Days

Three days riding on the sun

いつだって Don’t lie 2Yourself

Always remember, don’t lie to yourself

なりたい自分 会いたい君が待ってる

The self you want to become, the you you want to meet is waiting

手に負えない痛みも寄り添うよずっと

Even pain that’s hard to handle, I’ll be by your side forever

君らしい大袈裟な夢だから

Because it’s your unique, grand dream

どんな嵐も追い風にしよう

No matter what storms come, let’s turn them into tailwinds

Sailing Sailing

Sailing, sailing

もっと上に Sailing

Higher and higher, sailing

今日も明日も夢を唄うのさ

Tonight and tomorrow, I’ll sing my dreams

We’re never giving up

We’re never giving up

俯かないでいいんだ

Don’t look down

踏み鳴らそう Every time

Stamp your feet every time

生憎の空模様

Despite the gloomy weather

神様ゴールはどこ？

God, where’s the goal?

失敗もご愛嬌

Failures are part of the charm

やり直そう何度も

Let’s try again, multiple times

荒波に乗っかってハイチーズ

Surf the rough waves, say cheese

隠れんぼ太陽はどっち？

Hide and seek, which way is the sun?

舵を取るんだ 賭けてきた未来へ向かって

Take the helm, heading toward the future you bet on

手にしても 手にしても 失ってしまうけど

Even if I gain it, or lose it, I’ve come to understand

心を覗けば家族 仲間がいてくれると知った

Peeking into my heart, I found family and friends there

どんな嵐も追い風にしよう

No matter what storms come, let’s turn them into tailwinds
