Lyrics

senaka de tsukarehateta kimi no neiki ga  
hoo wo yasashiku nadeta  
bokura wa itsunomanika  
michi no kurasa ni kizukanai hodo nareta  

sukoshi no itami wo misugoshite ayumi tsuzukeru  
kono sekai ni kimi dake nokoshite  
kono mama susumu wake ni wa yukanai sa  

migoto ni katayotta tomi mo kikai mo  
atatakai moufu ya kotoba mo  
ishikoro ketobashite  
sore de kokoro ga hareru koto nante nai deshou  

dareka no itami ni me wo somukete  
fukurami tsuzukete mo tsurai dake  
akirame gao de  
kono mama susumu wake ni wa yukanai sa  

raifu izu byuutifuru  
kokoro no soko kara mou utau ni wa kanashimi ga  
sokora de shitari gao  

dakedo raifu izu byuutifuru  
sonna no kireigoto tte ikiru ni wa  
boku tachi ga sorezore ni hikaru mirai wo shinjite iru deshou  

toou ima, mirai wa dare no te no naka  
toou ima, mirai wa dare no te no naka  
toou ima, mirai wa dare no te no naka  
utaou imada, mirai wa bokura no te no naka  

raifu izu byuutifuru  
kokoro no soko kara mou utau ni wa kanashimi ga  
sokora de shitari gao  

dakedo raifu izu byuutifuru  
sonna no kireigoto tte ikiru ni wa  
boku tachi ga sorezore ni hikaru mirai wo shinjite iru deshou

English Translation

I feel your breath on my back as you sleep, completely worn out
Your breath gently strokes my cheek
Somehow, we’ve grown so used to the darkness of the streets
We hardly notice it anymore

The world forges ahead, oblivious to the tiny bits of pain
I can’t leave you behind in a place like that
While I keep moving forward

The remarkable imbalance of wealth and opportunities, and
Warm blankets and words
Kicking pebbles
Won’t make the heart feel lighter

Turning away from someone’s pain
And continuing to inflate just leads to more suffering
I can’t keep moving forward
With a defeated look

Life is beautiful
There’s too much sadness pervading with a smug expression
For me to sing anymore from the bottom of my heart

But life is beautiful
To live by dismissing such sentiments as idealistic
Must mean we each believe in a radiant future

Ask, who holds the future in their hands now?
Ask, who holds the future in their hands now?
Ask, who holds the future in their hands now?
Sing – we still hold the future in our hands

Life is beautiful
There’s too much sadness pervading with a smug expression
For me to sing anymore from the bottom of my heart

But life is beautiful
To live by dismissing such sentiments as idealistic
Must mean we each believe in a radiant future
