さよならの今日に

Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

泥まみれの過去が

My muddy past

纏わりつく日々だ

Clings to these days

鈍くなった足で

With dullened steps

ゴールのない山を登る

Climbing a mountain with no end in sight

恋い焦がれたこと

The longing love I felt

夢に起きてまた夢見たこと

Waking up from a dream, then dreaming again

これまでを切り取るように

As if capturing everything so far

頭の中を巡る

Spinning inside my mind

明日が来ることは解る

I understand that tomorrow will come

昨日が戻らないのも知ってる

And I know yesterday won’t return

できれば やり直したいけれど

If only I could start over

切り捨てた何かで今があるなら

If I could be now because of something I discarded

「もう一度」だなんて

Don’t say 'Once More'

そんな我儘 言わないでおくけどな

I won’t ask for such selfishness though

それでもどこかで今も求めているものがある

Still, somewhere deep down, I’m seeking something

不滅のロックスター

The immortal rock star

永遠のキングは

The eternal king

明日をどう生きただろうか

How would they have lived tomorrow?

...

...

傷だらけの空が

The wounded sky

やけに染みていく今日

Stings intensely today

鈍くなった足で

With dullened steps

河川敷をなぞり歩く

Tracing the riverbank with tired feet

涙がでることは解る

I understand that tears will fall

気持ちが戻らないのも知ってる

And I know my feelings won’t come back

それなら 辞めてしまいたいけれど

If so, I’d rather give up

残された何かで今が変わるなら

If only I could change now with what’s left

「もう一度」だなんて

Once More?

そんな情けは言わないでおくけどな

I won't ask for such selfishness though

それでもどこかで今も望んでいる事がある

Still, somewhere deep inside, I wish for something

伝説のプロボクサー

The legendary pro boxer

謎に満ちたあいつは

That mysterious guy

明日をどう乗り越えたかな ああ

I wonder how he faced tomorrow—ah

吹く風にまかせ

Leaving it to the wind

目を閉じて踊れ

Close your eyes and dance

甘いカクテル色の空を仰げ

Look up at the sweet cocktail-colored sky

そんな声が聞こえる

I hear that voice

切り捨てた何かを拾い集めても

Even if I gather what I discarded

もう二度と戻る事はないと

I know I’ll never go back again, though

解っているのにな

It’s clear to me

切り捨てた何かで今があるなら

If only I could change now with what’s left

「もう一度」だなんて

Once More?

そんな我儘 言わないでおくけどな

I won’t ask for such selfishness though

それでもどこかで今も求めているものがある

Still, somewhere deep down, I seek something

不滅のロックスター

The immortal rock star

永遠のキングは

The eternal king

明日をどう生きただろうか

How would he have faced tomorrow?

伝説のプロボクサー

The legendary pro boxer

謎に満ちたあいつは

That mysterious guy

明日をどう乗り越えたかな

How did he get through tomorrow?

...

...

ありがとう

Thank you
