/ Romaji Lyrics English Translation

onaji egao shiteta While we wore the same smiles,

sonna bokura mo ikunen wo kasanesugite We passed through the years together.

surechigau keshiki wo The sceneries kept changing,

ukeirerarezu ni mogaiteru And we struggled to accept it.

muda na puraido sutesari I throw away my useless pride.

kono sekai ni yasashisa wo May kindness come to this world.

I Gotta Say I Gotta Say

yuuki wo misetsukete mo tsuyogatte mo Even if I show off my bravery and my strength,

hitori dewa ikirarenai I can't survive alone.

ano hi no yakusoku nara Our promise from that day,

kokoro no fukaku ni nokotteiru yo ima demo It remains firmly in my heart, even now.

wakarete mata deai New encounters come after each farewell.

arata na michi ni hikari mitsuke arukidasu I find light down a new path, and move on.
