Lyrics

何も持たずに
– nanimo motazu ni
最初の一歩を踏み出す
– saisho no ippo wo fumidasu
歩みに応じて増えていく
– ayumi ni oujite fuete yuku
期待や嘆き 繰り返し
– kitai ya nageki kurikaeshi
目指すは最果て
– mezasu wa saihate
歴史に詠われる為に
– rekishi ni utawareru tame ni
命火 どれ程の明るさで燃やせば
– inochibi dore hodo no akarusa de moyaseba
一篇に届くのだろう
– ippen ni todoku no darou

誰もが辿り着きたいと願う寄る辺
– daremo ga tadoritsukitai to negau yorube
それはいつも 誰かの記憶の中
– sore wa itsumo dareka no kioku no naka
ただひと掬いばかりの
– tada hito sukui bakari no
消せない思い出になりたくて
– kesenai omoide ni naritakute
一番眩しい日を求めてる
– ichiban mabushii hi wo motometeru
身体中巡る鼓動焚べて
– karadajuu meguru kodou kubete

夜に紛れて沛然と
– yoru ni magirete haizen to
雨が火を叩く
– ame ga hi wo tataku
囲った手の熱も奪って
– kakotta te no netsu mo ubatte
生きたいと揺らぐ火種を 手放したくない
– ikitai to yuragu hidane wo tebanashitaku nai

重ねて温もりをくれた命火
– kasanete nukumori wo kureta inochibi
繋いだ手からうつる鼓動で
– tsunaida te kara utsuru kodou de
一際燃やして 夜を明かしてる
– hitokiwa moyashite yoru wo akashiteru

いつか終わりがきても
– itsuka owari ga kite mo
本当のお終いはその時じゃないから
– hontou no oshimai wa sono toki janai kara
次へと渡すためのバトン 灯火に変えて
– tsugi e to watasu tame no baton tomoshibi ni kaete
最果てまでだって 届けるよ
– saihate made datte todokeru yo

誰もが辿り着きたいと願う寄る辺
– daremo ga tadoritsukitai to negau yorube
それはいつも 誰かの記憶の中
– sore wa itsumo dareka no kioku no naka
どんなに小さな姿だって
– donna ni chiisana sugata datte

いつか辿り着きたいと願う寄る辺
– itsuka tadoritsukitai to negau yorube
それはひとつ あなたの記憶の中
– sore wa hitotsu anata no kioku no naka
ただひと掬いばかりの
– tada hito sukui bakari no
消せない思い出になりたくて
– kesenai omoide ni naritakute
一番眩しい日を求めてる
– ichiban mabushii hi wo motometeru
身体中巡る鼓動焚べて
– karadajuu meguru kodou kubete

命火 続く限りに
– inochibi tsuzuku kagiri ni

English Translation

Without holding anything
Taking the first step forward
It keeps increasing the longer I walk
Repeating the expectations and the grief
What I am aiming for is the farthest
To be able to be written in history
The fire of life, how intensely I burned it
Will it reach there in one go?

The reliable place everyone want to get to in the end
That is always inside someone’s memory
Just one scoop of
Unremovable memory to want to become
I am seeking the brightest day
The beat that circulates the body, put it to the fire

Blend into the night
The rain heavily beats the fire
Taking the heat away from the hands which were tending the fire
I don’t want to give away the flickering fire, which wants to live

The fire of life, which gave me the overlapping warmth
The heartbeat which I feel from our holding hands
Burn everything then spend the night

Even if the end comes one day
That moment will not truly be the end
Change the baton to fire, passing it along to the next
I will deliver even to the farthest

The reliable place everyone wants to get to in the end
There is one of them, inside your memory
No matter how small the figure is

The reliable place people want to get to one day
There is one of them, inside your memory
That is always inside someone’s memory
Unremovable memory to want to become
I am seeking the brightest day
The beat that circulates the body, put it to the fire

The fire of life, as long as it continues burning
