[English]

Rain, Wind, Sky, Rainbow

Rain, Wind, Sky, Rainbow

Rain, Wind, Sky, Rainbow

Shaking, shaking, trembling, my eyes wander

Work, eat, sleep—I'm living today

More, more, I get hurt

More, more, I want to be selfish

I truly want to make everything come true

But you know

Even without dreams or hopes, you've lived sincerely, right?

If you honestly reveal yourself, don't run away—dance within the future

Staring down reality, my heart dances inside me

Bright and hazy, like a fog

Stand tall, push back—bend but don't break

I believe, I believe—this moment

(What’s important is already within you)

Creation surpasses imagination, life swims desperately

Overtaking the sun

Rain, Wind, Sky, Rainbow

What’s important is already inside you

Rain, Wind, Sky, Rainbow

What’s important is already inside you

Rain, Wind, Sky, Rainbow

Fall, meet, part, realize

I knew it all along

Growing older, losing myself, I just wanted to fall in love

More, more, I want to let go

More, more, thrill my heart

I want to be properly rewarded

So

Keep trying, work hard sincerely—what’s wrong with that?

If you doubt fate, run away and shout into the future

My heart beats wildly, smashing through common sense

Bright and foggy, like a haze

Stand tall, push back—bend but don’t break

I believe, I believe—this moment

(What’s important is already within you)

Creation exceeds imagination, life swims desperately

Surpassing the sun

Rain, Wind, Sky, Rainbow

Shine on

It’s okay if life has no meaning

It's fine to live for others

You’re enough, you’re right—just as you are

I believe, I believe— in you

Believe, believe— in me

Overtaking the sun

Rain, Wind, Sky, Rainbow

What’s important is already inside you

Rain, Wind, Sky, Rainbow

What’s important is already inside you

Rain, Wind, Sky, Rainbow

揺れる　揺れる　揺れる　瞳　彷徨って

稼ぐ　食べる　眠る　今日を生きてる

もっと　もっと　傷付き

もっと　もっと　わがままに

ちゃんと　全部　叶えたい

でもね

夢や憧れがなくたって本気で生きてきたでしょ

正直に曝け出したら　逃げず　未来の中で踊れ

現実を睨みつけた　私の中で　踊る心臓

燦々で靄靄のようだ

凛々と 跳ねのけて　曲がれ

信じてる信じてる　今を

(大切なものは君の中にもう)

創造が想像を超えて　一生が懸命に泳ぐ

太陽追い越して

大切なものは君の中にもう

落ちる　出会う　別れる　気づく

最初から 分かっていた

歳を重ね　見失い　好きになりたかった

もっと　もっと　手放し

もっと　もっと　ときめき

ちゃんと報われたい

だから

努力し続けて　真面目に頑張って何が悪いの？

運命を疑ったなら　逃げて　未来の先で叫べ

常識を踏みにじった　私の中で　踊る心臓

燦々で靄靄のようだ

凛々と 跳ねのけて　曲がれ

信じてる信じてる　今を

(大切なものは君の中にもう)

創造が想像を超えて　一生が懸命に泳ぐ

太陽追い越して

雨風空虹

光れ

生きる意味なくたっていいじゃん

人の為　生きたっていいじゃん

十分だ　正解だ 君が

信じてる信じてる　君を

信じてて信じてて　私を

太陽追い越して
