僕たちは戦わない

• By: AKB48

Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

僕たちは戦わない

We won't fight

愛を信じてる

We believe in love

振り上げたその拳

That raised fist

誰も下ろす日が来るよ

There will come a day when everyone will lower it

憎しみは連鎖する

Hatred is a cycle

だから今　断ち切るんだ

So now, let's cut it off

この世界で流れ落ちる涙の総量決まってるなら

If the total amount of tears flowing in this world is fixed

みんなで分かち合おうか

Shall we share it together?

僕たちは戦わない

We won't fight

明日を信じてる

We believe in tomorrow

絶望の雲の下

Under the clouds of despair

切れ間に青空　探せ！

Look for the blue sky in the gaps!

君が思うより

Humans are kinder than you think

人間はやさしい

Don't give up on anything

何もあきらめるな

A smile is the sun

微笑みは太陽だ

I'll warm up our cold relationship

冷えた仲　暖めるよ

If someone is holding onto anger deep inside

もし誰かが胸の奥に怒りの理由を溜めているなら

I'll listen to everything

すべてを聞いてあげよう

We won't fight

僕たちは戦わない

We believe in love

愛を信じてる

Just fighting won't solve anything

ただ殴り合っていたって

Time won't resolve it

時間は解決しないさ

Just one button

たった一つのボタン

Misbuttoned

掛け違えて

We clashed

啀み合った

The misfortunes until today

今日までの不幸

Let's forgive each other

許し合おうよ

We won't fight

僕たちは戦わない

We believe in love

愛を信じてる

That raised fist

振り上げたその拳

There will come a day when everyone will lower it

誰も下ろす日が来るよ

La la la... (someday)

ラララ…（いつか）

La la la... (surely)

ラララ…（きっと）

La la la...

ラララ…

La la la...
