Lyrics & Translation

[Japanese]

[English]

あぁ このまま

Ah, just like this

僕ら一緒に 歩いて行こう

Let's walk together

やけになんだか今日はさ 夕焼けに伸びた僕らの影が

For some reason today, our shadows stretch in the sunset

重なっていつもより

Overlapping, they seem

大きなひとつのものに見えるな

To form something bigger than usual

伸ばしたこの手は 少しはあの星に近付いたかな

I wonder if this outstretched hand has gotten a little closer to that star

まぁ何年かかっても 君となら退屈なんてしないけど

Well, no matter how many years it takes, I won't be bored with you

“隣にいて欲しい”

“I want you by my side”

ただただ心が 笑って喋ってる

My heart is just laughing and talking

激しい雨に 打たれても

Even if we're hit by heavy rain

支え合い乗り越えてきたから

We've supported each other and overcome

出会えただけで 特別な毎日 あぁこんなに 世界が今 光ってる

Just by meeting, every day is special, ah, the world is shining now

たまたまじゃなくここに着いた

We didn't just happen to arrive here

変わらなくずっと歩いて来たんだ

We've been walking without changing

ほら君とだったら どこへだって行けそう

Look, with you, it feels like we can go anywhere

あぁこれから 見たことない色で まだ知らない 音色ができてく

Ah, from now on, colors I've never seen

君といれば 素直な音がすんだ

And sounds I don't yet know will be created

そんな自分が そう 嬉しいんだ

Being with you makes me feel so genuine

一人で生きられない わけでもないのに

It's not that I can't live alone

この道選んでる

But I'm choosing this path

目に見えない絆や 運命だとか

Invisible bonds and fate

信じざるを得ない今がある

Make me believe in this moment

出会えただけで 特別な毎日 あぁこうして 僕らは今 歌ってる

Just by meeting, every day is special, ah, like this, we are singing now

たまたまじゃなくここに着いた

We didn't just happen to arrive here

変わらなくずっと歩いて来たんだ

We've been walking without changing

ほら君とだったら どこへだって行けそう

Look, with you, it feels like we can go anywhere

あぁこれから 見たことない色で

Ah, from now on, colors I've never seen

まだ知らない 音色ができてく

And sounds I don't yet know will be created

君といれば 素直な音がすんだ

Being with you makes me feel so genuine

このまま一緒に

Let's stay like this together

歩いて行こう

And keep walking
