Lyrics & Translation

[Japanese]

[English]

忘れちゃいけないことばかりだ

Things I must not forget

病める日も健やかなる日でも

On both sick and healthy days

風が吹く度思い出すのさ

Every time the wind blows, I remember

刻んで飲み込んで歩いてく

Carving, swallowing, walking on

人生一度きりだってさ

Life is only once, after all

ごめんねまだピンとこないや

Sorry, I still can't quite get it

ただ納得できないんだ

I just can't accept it

もっともっとやれるんだ

I know I can do much more

正解はないのに求めてる

There’s no right answer, but I’m still searching

同じ今日は二度と来ないんだ

Today will never come again

分かってんのに悔やんでなんで泣いて

Even though I understand, why do I regret and cry?

ほらもう明日を愛おしく思うなら喜んで

If tomorrow can be loved, then I’ll be happy

諦めきれないことばかりだ

There are so many things I just can't give up

大事なものは大事にしなくちゃ

The important things must be treasured

あの日の自分が教えてくれた

That day, my past self taught me

零した雫も叶えてく

Even the tears shed can come true

忘れちゃいけないことばかりだ

Things I must not forget

病める日も健やかなる日でも

On both sick and healthy days

風が吹く度思い出すのさ

Every time the wind blows, I remember

刻んで飲み込んで歩いていくんだ

Carving, swallowing, walking forward

ずっとずっとずっと

Forever, forever, forever

人類みな人の子でさ

All humans are children of humanity

大人とか子供とかじゃない

Not grown-ups or kids

錯乱する流行りなんかに

Can't lose to trendy crazes

負けてなんかいられないよ

There’s no time for that, I’m exhausted

そんな暇ないのに疲れてる

Licking my lips in anticipation

美味しそうに喉を鳴らして

Why cry for what I lack?

ないものをねだってなんで泣いて

See, it's already okay now

ほらもう大丈夫だよ

Let’s finally forgive, goodbye

いい加減に許そうよグッバイ

いい加減に許そうよグッバイ

気まぐれに波打つ感情が

Emotion’s whimsy waves

上がる下がる下がる上がる

Rising, falling, falling, rising

このうちのどれが本物か

Which of these is real?

分かってるんでしょ、ねえ

You know, right? Hey

問いただすまでも、ない

No need to ask

一生の付き合いだなんて言って

They say it’s a lifelong relationship

可愛がってくんだずっと

Loving and caring forever

明日に希望はないや

There’s no hope for tomorrow

それでもそれなりに愛しているよ世界

Still, I love this world in my own way

やり残してるあれやこれを

All those unfinished things

まだ何一つ見離せない

I still can't let go of anything

諦めきれないことばかりだ

There are so many things I just can't give up

大事なものは大事にしなくちゃ

Things I must not forget

あの日の自分に歌っていくのさ

I sing to my past self

零した雫は裏切らない

The tears shed will never betray

忘れちゃいけないことばかりだ

Things I must not forget

病める日も健やかなる日でも

On both sick and healthy days

風が吹く度思い出すのさ

Every time the wind blows, I remember

刻んで飲み込んで歩いていくんだ

Carving, swallowing, walking forward

ずっとずっとずっと

Forever, forever, forever
