Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

ああ どれだけ過去が辛くて暗くても

Ah, no matter how painful and dark the past is

昨日よりも不安な明日が増えても

Even if tomorrow brings more anxiety than yesterday

悩んだり泣いたりする今日も

Today, filled with worries and tears

進め君らしく 心踊る方

Keep moving forward, in your own way, where your heart dances

...

...

別れ道に立つ ともに唄う

Standing at the crossroads, singing together

重ねた日々は変わらず残る

The days we've piled up remain unchanged

千切れそうな今縫い合わせ

Stitching together this fragile present

思い出したあの頃

I remember those days

あたりまえのいつもの笑顔

The usual, everyday smile

平気なフリに何度 騙された？

How many times have I been fooled by pretending to be okay?

何気ない一言でさえ

Even the casual words

後悔してるいま頃

Now, I regret them

出逢えてよかった

I'm glad we met

ありがとう

Thank you

この想いよ 届け

May these feelings reach you

涙こらえ笑って生きてる

Holding back tears, living with a smile

崩れそうになりながら毎日びびってる

While feeling like I'm about to crumble, I'm scared every day

疲れ果てるまで繰り返す

Repeating until I'm completely exhausted

きっと ずっと ああ

Surely, always, ah

どれだけ過去が辛くて暗くても

No matter how painful and dark the past is

昨日よりも不安な明日が増えても

Even if tomorrow brings more anxiety than yesterday

悩んだり泣いたりする今日も

Today, filled with worries and tears

進め君らしく 心踊る方

Keep moving forward, in your own way, where your heart dances

...

...

個々に辿り着くまでに

Before we each arrive at our own destinations

色んな景色をみて来たんだろう

We've probably seen many different views

待ち焦がれていた

I've been longing for this

出逢えてよかった

I'm glad we met

ありがとう

Thank you

この想いよ 届け

May these feelings reach you

涙こらえ笑って生きてる

Holding back tears, living with a smile

崩れそうになりながら毎日びびってる

While feeling like I'm about to crumble, I'm scared every day

疲れ果てるまで繰り返す

Repeating until I'm completely exhausted

きっと ずっと ああ

Surely, always, ah

どれだけ過去が辛くて暗くても

No matter how painful and dark the past is

昨日よりも不安な明日が増えても

Even if tomorrow brings more anxiety than yesterday

悩んだり泣いたりする今日も

Today, filled with worries and tears

進め君らしく 心踊る その先には幸を

Keep moving forward, in your own way, beyond that lies happiness

生きて耐えて時に壊れ泣いて迷う影に笑顔咲き誇る

Living, enduring, sometimes breaking, crying, and smiling brightly in the shadows of confusion

生きていれば... 命さえあれば...

As long as I'm alive... as long as there's life...

前に前に前に上に上に

Forward, forward, up, up

冗談じゃない まだ諦めてない

This is no joke, I'm not giving up yet

全て追い越して

Surpassing everything

何もかも置き去りに

Leaving everything behind

思い描いたその先へ

Towards the future I've envisioned

...
