Original Lyrics
Translation in English
verse
走りなさい 疾く もっと疾く
Run, fast, faster
哀しみに追いつかれないように
So that sadness doesn't overtake you
探しなさい 明かりの灯る道を
Look for the lighted road
それはそれは眩いでしょう
That is so dazzling.
挑みなさい 君の美しさや
Challenge your beauty
尊さを傷つけるモノに
To something that hurts dignity
眠りなさい 疲れたら眠りなさい
Sleep, if you're tired, sleep
神話を持たないあの星座のように
Like that constellation that has no myth
pre-chorus
手を離した後
After letting go
君は気づくだろう
You will notice
指の形 体温
Finger shape Body temperature
その名残が胸を刺す
The memory of that time stings my heart
chorus
忘れたことも忘れてしまえ
Forget what you forgot
哀しみも温もりも消えてしまえ
Let the sadness and warmth disappear
されど 今も耳に残るは
But the song that still rings in my ears
固く再会を希うような
I firmly hope to see you again.
「さようなら」
"Goodbye"
Adieu, adieu
Farewell, farewell
Love you, and you?
Love you, and you?
verse
踊りなさい 誰に笑われても
Dance, no matter who laughs at you
淡雪を払う枝のように
Like a branch brushing off the light snow
叫びなさい 心から叫びなさい
Cry out, cry from your heart
ここに確かにいたんだと響かせて
Let it resonate that I was definitely here
pre-chorus
行合いの空に遠花火が滲む
Distant fireworks blur into the sky of our encounter
帰るべき家を探す
Finding a home
長い長い旅路を行くなら
If you're going on a long, long journey
chorus
高らか鳴らせ その心臓は
Let your heart beat loudly
最後の一打ちまで君の物だ
It's all yours until the last hit.
涙涙 溢れるがいい
Tears are overflowing
降る雫が君の森を育てるだろう
The falling drops will grow your forest
bridge
それは千年のホームシックでした
It was millennial homesickness
無限さえも数え終えて
Even counting infinity
怪物のような世界の隅っこで
In a monstrous corner of the world
戦い続ける人
The one who keeps fighting
君はエルフ エルフ
You are an elf, an elf
愛しき 旅は続く
The lovely journey continues
chorus
忘れたことも忘れてしまえ
Forget what you forgot
哀しみも温もりも消えちまえ
Let the sadness and warmth disappear
されど今も今も耳に残るは
But what still rings in my ears today is
固く再会を希うような
I firmly hope to see you again.
「さようなら」
"Goodbye"
outro
Adieu, adieu
Farewell, farewell
Love you, and you?
Love you, and you?
Adieu, adieu
Farewell, farewell
