Masaki Suda - Long Hope Philia Lyrics + English Translation

歩くほどに靴底が汚れてく
そんな風に　
僕らの魂も磨り減れば影ってしまうよ
そんな時に思い出して
君が諦められない理由を　
救ったはずが救われたっけ
握ったつもりが握られた手
 
遍く旅路に光あれ
強さや弱さでは語れないぜ　
立ち向かうその一歩ずつが
君の勇敢さの勝利だった
叫ぶ為に息を吸うように
高く飛ぶ為に助走があって　
笑う為に僕らは泣いた
それを敗北とは言わない
ロングホープ・フィリア
 
時を経ては変わってく
街並みも友達も　
大抵は離れて分かる
寄る辺なさは瞭然たる感傷
ましてや自分
僕は僕を離れられぬやましさを背負って　
だから友よ見届けてくれ
変わったのじゃなく変えたのだ
 
遍く挫折に光あれ　
成功、失敗に意味はないぜ　
最終話で笑った奴へ
トロフィーとしてのハッピーエンド
願わなきゃ傷つかなかった
望まなきゃ失望もしなかった　
それでも手を伸ばすからこその
その傷跡を称え給え
ロングホープ・フィリア
 
諦めて疑って塞いで
期待外れって言われたっけ
でも失くしたことが武器になった
それがどん底に咲いた花
遠き友よ
今ではもう蒼い星座
少なからず僕ら生きてる
荷物ならばそれで充分だ
 
遍く命に光あれ
生きる為に理由はいらないぜ
うなだれても踏み留まった
そこをスタートラインと呼ぶんだ
今日の君が笑ったことで
敗北も無駄にはならなかった
故に咲くどん底の花
友よ、末永い希望を
ロングホープ・フィリア

The more we walk, the more the bottom of our shoes become soiled
in the same way
If we wear out our souls, we'll be overshadowed
At times like that
remember the reason why you can't give up
I was saved when I thought I was doing the saving
My hand was held when I thought I was holding the hand

Let light shine throughout the journey
can't be summed up in terms of strengths or weaknesses
Each step that leads you to what it is you're confronting
is a victory brought on by your courage
Just like you need to breathe in to shout
an approach run's necessary to jump high
We cried so we could laugh
that's not defeat
Long hope philia

Time changes
city streets and friends
You usually learn once you're apart
sentimentality becomes evident when you have no one to lean on
Furthermore, I
I'm burdened by the guilt of not being able to get away from myself
So friend, watch over me until the end
I didn't change unwittingly, I changed with intent

Let light shine over our setbacks,
Success, failures have no meaning
To those that laughed in the final episode
a happy ending that serves as a trophy
Wouldn't have been hurt if I hadn't hoped
Wouldn't have lost hope if I didn't have any expectations
And yet I keep reaching out so
give praise to those wounds
Long hope philia

Gave up, distrusted, and closed myself off
told I was a letdown
But my losses became my ammunition
a flower that blooms down in the dumps
My friend, so far away
now a blueish constellation
At least we're still alive
That's all the luggage we need

Let light shine on life
Life doesn't require a reason
Head hung low, yet still resisted
that's what you call the starting line
Because you laughed today
this failure wasn't in vain
Therefore, oh flower blooming down in the dumps
Friend, an everlasting hope
Long hope philia
