[English]

Things I must not forget

On both sick and healthy days

Every time the wind blows, I remember

Carving, swallowing, walking on

Life is only once, after all

Sorry, I still can't quite get it

I just can't accept it

I know I can do much more

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

Today will never come again

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

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

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

The important things must be treasured

That day, my past self taught me

Even the tears shed can come true

Things I must not forget

On both sick and healthy days

Every time the wind blows, I remember

Carving, swallowing, walking forward

Forever, forever, forever

All humans are children of humanity

Not grown-ups or kids

Can't lose to trendy crazes

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

Licking my lips in anticipation

Why cry for what I lack?

See, it's already okay now

Let’s finally forgive, goodbye

いい加減に許そうよグッバイ

Emotion’s whimsy waves

Rising, falling, falling, rising

Which of these is real?

You know, right? Hey

No need to ask

They say it’s a lifelong relationship

Loving and caring forever

There’s no hope for tomorrow

Still, I love this world in my own way

All those unfinished things

I still can't let go of anything

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

Things I must not forget

I sing to my past self

The tears shed will never betray

Things I must not forget

On both sick and healthy days

Every time the wind blows, I remember

Carving, swallowing, walking forward

Forever, forever, forever

[Japanese]

忘れちゃいけないことばかりだ

病める日も健やかなる日でも

風が吹く度思い出すのさ

刻んで飲み込んで歩いてく

人生一度きりだってさ

ごめんねまだピンとこないや

ただ納得できないんだ

もっともっとやれるんだ

正解はないのに求めてる

同じ今日は二度と来ないんだ

分かってんのに悔やんでなんで泣いて

ほらもう明日を愛おしく思うなら喜んで

諦めきれないことばかりだ

大事なものは大事にしなくちゃ

あの日の自分が教えてくれた

零した雫も叶えてく

忘れちゃいけないことばかりだ

病める日も健やかなる日でも

風が吹く度思い出すのさ

刻んで飲み込んで歩いていくんだ

ずっとずっとずっと

人類みな人の子でさ

大人とか子供とかじゃない

錯乱する流行りなんかに

負けてなんかいられないよ

そんな暇ないのに疲れてる

美味しそうに喉を鳴らして

ないものをねだってなんで泣いて

ほらもう大丈夫だよ

いい加減に許そうよグッバイ

気まぐれに波打つ感情が

上がる下がる下がる上がる

このうちのどれが本物か

分かってるんでしょ、ねえ

問いただすまでも、ない

一生の付き合いだなんて言って

可愛がってくんだずっと

明日に希望はないや

それでもそれなりに愛しているよ世界

やり残してるあれやこれを

まだ何一つ見離せない

諦めきれないことばかりだ

大事なものは大事にしなくちゃ

あの日の自分に歌っていくのさ

零した雫は裏切らない

忘れちゃいけないことばかりだ

病める日も健やかなる日でも

風が吹く度思い出すのさ

刻んで飲み込んで歩いていくんだ

ずっとずっとずっと
