その涙が汗が滲んだ

Those tears oozed sweat

誰とも違う美しさで

With beauty unlike anyone else

笑っておくれよ

Keep smiling

息を切らした

I was out of breath

君は誰より素敵さ

you are more beautiful than anyone

気の抜けた炭酸みたいに

Like a stale carbonated drink

微かに気怠い日々に溶けた

Dissolved into slightly listless days

家鴨の侭で翼を広げて

Spread your wings in the duck house

空を舞う白鳥の夢を見る

I dream of swans flying in the sky

彷徨うくらいなら

I'd rather wander

一層味わい尽くしましょ

Let's enjoy it even more

近道ばかりじゃ味気がないでしょ

Just shortcuts are boring, aren't they?

道草を食って

eat road grass

泥濘み飲んで

Drink mud

でもたどり着けなくて

But I can't reach it

また何度だって夕暮れ追いかけるの

I'll chase the sunset again and again

走れ遥か先へ

Run far away

汚れた靴と足跡は確かに未来へと

Dirty shoes and footprints are definitely heading into the future

今駆けてゆく

I'm running now

息を切らした

I was out of breath

君は誰より素敵さ

you are more beautiful than anyone

物語の始まりはいつも

The story always begins

静寂を切り裂き突然に

Suddenly cutting through the silence

胸の中ざわめく焔に

In the flames rumbling in my heart

照れて忘れて大人になる

Be embarrassed and forget and become an adult

形振り構わず今日は御仕舞いにしましょ

Regardless of how it looks, let's call it a day today.

日溜まりのような

Like a sunbath

夢を見れますように

I hope you can dream

固唾を呑んで

hold your breath

恥を忍んで

with shame

まだ諦めきれなくて

I can't give up yet

また何度だって

Again and again

明日を追いかけるの

chasing tomorrow

声を枯らすまで

Until I lose my voice

泣いていたんだよ

I was crying

叶わないと判って尚

Even though I knew it wouldn't come true

抗っておくれよ

Please resist it.

剥き出しで咲く君は

You bloom naked

誰より素敵さ

More beautiful than anyone else

今日も その涙が汗が滲んだ

Today too, those tears and sweat oozed out

誰とも違う美しさで

With beauty unlike anyone else

笑っておくれよ

Keep smiling

息を切らした

I was out of breath

君は誰より素敵さ

you are more beautiful than anyone

走れ遥か先へ

Run far away

汚れた靴と足跡は確かに未来へと

Dirty shoes and footprints are definitely heading into the future

今駆けてゆく

I'm running now

息を切らした

I was out of breath

君は誰より素敵さ

you are more beautiful than anyone
