生きろ – Bilingual Lyrics Japanese/English
Lyrics & Translation
My trembling palm
The promises we've made
Keep beating in my chest
Everywhere I go
I touch warm feelings
Kindness hurts so much
I told myself it's just a dream and pushed it away
Drawing dazzling orbits
A shooting star races through the night
I’m just a tiny dot in this vast universe
And it’s like the universe is showing me that
Well then
Chase after it, ask questions
Barefoot, if you want
With your blood boiling inside
Even if it’s trivial
Debate and clash, go all-in
Shut up those stubborn words
Until the day you can laugh out loud
With swollen eyelids
On those nights filled with tears
Swaying in the flames I’ve lit
The stench that’s hard to bear
And the longing for someone’s light
While releasing both into the sky at once
The blue smoke disappears on the wind
Gradually
Burning fiercely, welling up
My feelings haven’t changed even now
Still standing on dreams
From there
I become stronger once more
With the wounds I’ve lost etched as a signpost
Let’s go
Chase after it, ask questions
Barefoot, if you want
With your blood boiling inside
From here
ここから
I’ll grow stronger again
More than what I’ve lost
Laugh out loud until that day comes
And live
Live
Live
