Lyrics & Translation

[Japanese]

[English]

乾いた冷たい風針のように sting

Dry, cold wind like a needle sting

シンとした空気の中春が始まる

In the quiet air, spring begins

飛び立つための羽ほぼ生え揃い

Wings almost fully grown, ready to take flight

まだ暗い空を見て迷いを捨てる

Looking at the still-dark sky, shedding doubts

時間は傷を癒すってこと忘れるころ知るだろう

Soon you'll realize that time heals wounds

当たり前のことだけど言うよ

Though it's obvious, I'll say it anyway

全てはスタイル飛び方次第

Everything depends on your style, how you fly

代わりは誰にもやらすな

Don’t let anyone replace you

その目に映る世界が全てというなら

If what you see in your eyes is everything

違う場所見てみましょう

Then let's look at a different place

まるで知らないことだらけ

It's full of things I don't know

大丈夫、僕は君を忘れない

It's okay, I won't forget you

...

...

いつかは離れ離れみんな通る道

Someday, everyone will drift apart—it's the path we all take

笑えるほど涙わいてくるね

Laughing and crying happen so easily

昔にはもう戻れない手に入れるべきは未来

We can't go back to how it was; what we should have is the future

聞き流してくれたってかまわない

It's okay if you ignore my words

全てはスタイル飛び方次第

Again, everything depends on your style and how you fly

そりゃ嫌なことだってあるさ

Sure, there are things you won't like

得体の知れない恐れや退屈も

Unclear fears and boredom, too

ひとつずつ越えて行く

We overcome them one by one

そうやって仕上がってくる

That's how we build ourselves up

大丈夫、今は振り返らないで

It's okay, don’t look back now

...

...

全てはスタイル飛び方次第

Again, everything depends on your style and how you fly

代わりは誰にもやらすな

Don’t let anyone replace you

その目に映る世界が全てというなら

If what you see in your eyes is everything

違う場所見てみましょう

Then let's see a different place

まるで知らないことだらけ

It's full of things I don't know

大丈夫、僕は君を忘れない

It's okay, I won't forget you

君を忘れない

I won't forget you

君を忘れない

I won't forget you

...
