宿命

• By: Official髭男dism

Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

心臓から溢れだした声で

With a voice overflowing from my heart

歌うメロディ 振り向いた未来

Singing melody, looking back at the future

君から溢れだした声と

And the voice that overflows from you

合わさって響いた 群青の空の下

Combine and echo under the ultramarine sky

夢じゃない 夢じゃない 涙の足跡

It's not a dream, it's not a dream, the footsteps of tears

嘘じゃない 嘘じゃない 泥だらけの笑顔

It's not a lie, it's not a lie, a muddy smile

夢じゃない 夢じゃない 肩を組んで叫びたい

It's not a dream, it's not a dream, I want to shout arm in arm

僕らの想い

Our feelings

届け！

Deliver them!

奇跡じゃなくていい 美しくなくていい

It's okay not to be a miracle, not to be beautiful

生き甲斐ってやつが光り輝くから

Because our life's worth shines brightly

切れないバッテリー 魂の限り

A battery that won't die, with all my soul

宿命ってやつを燃やして 暴れだすだけなんだ

Just burn and grow wild with this destiny

沈黙が続いたイヤフォン

Silent headphones

自分の弱さに遠ざかってく未来

A future where I drift away from my weakness

「大丈夫」や「頑張れ」って歌詞に

"It's okay" and "Hang in there" in the lyrics

苛立ってしまった そんな夜もあった

There were nights when I got frustrated

夢じゃない 夢じゃない あの日の悔しさと

Not a dream, not a dream, the regret of that day

忘れない 忘れない 掌の爪痕

I won't forget, I won't forget the claw marks on my palm

無駄じゃない 無駄じゃない それも全て讃えたい

It's not useless, it's not useless, I want to praise everything

もうあと少し

Just a little more

願いの熱さに 汗まみれになったり

Soaked in sweat from the heat of my wish

期待背負って立って

Standing with expectations on my shoulders

重さに臆病になるけど

Feeling scared of the weight

僕らの背番号 それは背中じゃなく

Our jersey number isn't on our back

瞳の奥のアンサー

It's the answer deep in our eyes

重なって 照らしあってく FOREVER

Overlapping, shining together, forever

緊張から不安が芽生えて

Fear and anxiety grow from tension

根を張るみたいに 僕らを支配する

Like taking root, they dominate us

そんなものに負けてたまるかと

I can't lose to things like that

今 宿命ってやつを燃やして 暴れだす

Now, set fire to this destiny and go wild

届け！

Deliver them!

奇跡じゃなくていい 美しくなくていい

It's okay not to be a miracle, not to be beautiful

生き甲斐ってやつが光り輝くから

Because our life's worth shines brightly

切れないバッテリー 魂の限り

A battery that won't die, with all my soul

宿命ってやつを燃やして 暴れだすだけなんだ

Just burn and grow wild with this destiny

ただ 宿命ってやつをかざして 立ち向かうだけなんだ

Just hold up this destiny and face it head-on
