初めて歩いた知らない道の上

On a road I’ve never walked before

蒼い風 新緑をくすぐり

A blue wind tickles the fresh green leaves

空を衝いた

It pierced the sky

追いつこうとして

Trying to catch up

転んで泣いて泣いて泣いて見上げた

Falling down, crying and crying, I looked up

目の醒めるような

With a mind as clear as awakening

何かが光って光って光って見えた

Something was shining, shining, shining, and I could see it

隠しきれない

I can’t hide it anymore

捨ててしまえない

I can’t just throw it away

ワタシのまま

Being myself

Catch the tail of hope

Catch the tail of hope

繋がっていく

We’re connected

この世界を

To this world

信じさせて

Making us believe

Catch the tail of hope

Catch the tail of hope

Always same smileで行こう

Let’s go with the same smile

Catch the tail of hope

Catch the tail of hope

儚いからこそ

Because it’s fleeting

Catch the tail of hope

Catch the tail of hope

誰に見せたいわけじゃない胸のうちが

The feelings in my heart I don’t want anyone to see

膨らんで痛くて潰れてしまいそうよ

Are swelling up, hurting, and about to burst

晒してしまえば

If I just show them

誰かは泣いて泣いて泣いてくれるの

Someone will cry, cry, cry for me

でも無くならない

But it won’t disappear

だから笑って笑って笑っていたいの

That’s why I want to keep laughing

誰も知らない

Even when no one knows

自分も知らない

Even I don’t know

ココロのまま

Following my heart

Catch the tail of hope

Catch the tail of hope

We can’t always understand each other

もどかしさも

Impatience too

Can be turned into strength

Catch the tail of hope

Catch the tail of hope

Let’s go with the same smile

Catch the tail of hope

The part you should care about

そこじゃない そこじゃない

Is not there, it’s not there

What you should chase after

それじゃない それじゃない

Is not that, is not that

うまくいかなくって

When things don’t go smoothly

やっぱり泣いて泣いて泣いて叫んで

I end up crying, crying, crying, shouting

気がすんだでしょ

Feeling like I’ve let it all out, right?

もう大丈夫 笑って笑って笑って

It’s okay now, smile, smile, smile

I can’t hide it anymore
