The world goes by, goes by heartlessly, but someday it’ll turn...

You don’t need to say anything, you can hide it if you want
Won’t you entrust your shaking shoulders to me?
The world goes by, goes by heartlessly, but someday it’ll turn

And take away those tears of regret and bitter, painful wounds

Turning, turning, forming a cycle; show me a smile
Turning, turning, forming a cycle; may the flowers bloom

I just want us to hold hands and share everything, all the time
You don’t need to hide your depressed heart anymore

You mustn’t ever forget that it’s because you’re here
That this planet can take a deep breath and greet tomorrow

The future knows about all your granted wishes and sad feelings
It’s just there, watching the present and smiling at us

Shaking, shaking, our hearts are trembling yet again today
Shaking, shaking, everybody is alone

But that doesn’t mean we should stop
Let’s promise this moving planet that we can walk on

I just want us to hold hands and share everything, all the time
You don’t need to hide your depressed heart anymore

If we can always get closer, touch the hopes we’ll grab
Let’s take a deep breath, be reborn and keep meeting tomorrow

Mirai Wakusei - IkimonoGakari

To that distance place that spreads out before us... I want to go all the way there with you~

Moshimo anata ga tooku e hanaretemo
Kitto itsuka no taiyou yori mo tsuyoku kagayakitai
Hitotsu kakechigaeta botan wo hazushite
Marude mujaki na kodomo no you ni itsumademo issho ni itai kedo
[If you go far away
I want to shine brighter than the sun on its brightest day
Even though I just want to be with you forever like an innocent child
With my buttons done up the wrong way]

Kono basho kara hanareteku koto ga ima wa sukoshi dake kowain da
Kono kagirareta shunkan no naka de sorezore ni nanika wo mitsuketara
[I’m a little afraid to leave this place now
If we can each find something in the limited time we have...]

Onaji hoshi ni tatte anata wo zutto matte itai
Moshi ima sugu aeru nara koko wo nanimo motazu tobidasu no ni
[I want to keep standing here waiting for you on the same planet
If I could see you right away I’d drop everything and rush to you]

Tatoe jikan ga tattemo sono te wo nigiru yo
Asahi ni terasareta kawara no sumi ni chiisana wa wo mita
[No matter how much time goes by, I’ll still be holding your hand
I found a little ring in the corner of a riverbed, glinting in the morning sun]

Bokura no me no mae ni tsuzuiteku haruka na chi ni
Tanin ni kimerareta michi nante nai yo
Dokomademo issho ni ikitai keredo
[There’s no road made by other people
To that distance place that spreads out before us
I want to go all the way there with you]

Aru itten wo misueta dake ja nanika hajimaru wake demo naku
Nanimo kanjirarezu ikiteku no ga kono ashiato wo saegitteku
Todokanai basho kara mo sono kaze wo ukete itai
Isshun no hanabi no you ni
Nando demo sora ni mabataketara
[But just fixing my sights on one spot doesn’t mean anything will happen
Living without feeling anything is blocking my way
Even if I can’t reach that place, I want to feel the breeze from there
If only I could sparkle in the sky
Like a firework, but again and again]

Onaji hoshi ni tatte anata wo zutto matte itai
Dokoka de aeru kara ima wa koko de aruiteku yo
[I want to keep standing here waiting for you on the same planet
I’ll just keep walking here and now; we’ll meet up somewhere]

not having much to say, we look at the older selves we've been before]

[We might have been momentarily lost but certainly there is a path forward, there's no such thing as an unreachable goal]

nemure nai hitori no yoru meguru shikou kairo wa satoru
‘ima no jibun de machigai nai ?’ tte sa
[What is it that awaits us on the stage we can see in the distance?
the seeds we sow in our hearts, will someday bud for sure
alone on a sleepless night, repeatedly thinking about it i understood
"there can be no mistake about who i am now"]

kokoro ni aru hana wo karasazu ni sakaseyou

[The flower in your heart, let it not dry but bloom
so that your dreams will soon turn radiant
make the scene you dreamt about never fade
so that we will forever keep it in mind
here on this day too we will give meaning to the word "me", it's a simple cloudless light]

[Vow never to lose again, wipe away the tears shed that night and feel the spirit of the moment
break through the routines of every day and you will definitely get somewhere
there is no need for something like "regret"]

kokoro ni saku hana wo taisetsu ni sodateyou

nichijou no hibi koso kiseki bokutachi ga tsumuideku kiseki
sagasu no wa ‘tokubetsu’ de wa naku nichijou toiu na no me no mae no kiseki
[Take care of the blooming flower in your heart, sometimes rain will strike on it and sometimes wind will blow on it
even if a flower eventually wilts, it lives to give life
in the never ending chain of life, "me" still carries it's meaning
that day we will all be smiling, looking at the flower that is in full bloom
tell it to those who look at who we are now
the ordinary every day is a miracle too, we ourselves are an unfolding miracle
what we should look for is not something "special", it is the miracle right before our eyes called our ordinary days]

kagayaita kyou ni kansha to oshimi naku tsudzuku hakushu wo
moetsukita bokura ga ima idaku hokori koso motsu beki hitsuzen
itsuka kyou ga kako ni kawari ‘ima’ ni make sou ni natte mo

[The day when you shine, the gratitude continues on with the generous applause
and when it ends, we must be able to hold on to the pride we had
so that after that, even when the "now" seems to be heading for defeat
we will still remember it, the days that were filled with passion]

kokoro ni aru hana wo itsu made mo sakaseyou

[The flower in your heart, let it always bloom
even if the water runs out, even if the darkness covers it
the beginning called the end, and the end that is called the beginning
we are still walking on, it is us who are still walking on
even if we don't know if the previous pain can possibly be healed, we still earnestly want to see the future
to see the fleeting miracle of each falling petal]

Ano toki kawashita kotoba wa ima dokoka tooi

[Are those words we exchanged then
Now waiting for someone somewhere far away?
What day did the sure future we envisioned
Begin to change?]

[If those words that seem like they could break at any moment
Hold the fruits of an earnest love
I want to tell you this one love, from now on, no matter what the future brings
Throughout these endless days]

“kanarazu shiawase ni naru kara?” yakusoku

[The “thank you” you gave me is always in my heart, never fading
The faint wind that blew through the park
When I promised “I’ll be happy, no matter what...”]

Fure tara kiesou na kono hikari ni mo tashika

[If the light of a sure love burns
In this light that looks like it’ll disappear if I touch it
I’ll give you the one wish of my life as the seasons go by
Forever and always
Unchanging, every day]

[I told you about my growing love

And you gave me a big nod

Kaeritaku Natta yo (Acoustic Version) - Ikimonogakari

Those days I dreamed of on that distant spring day... Disappear into the sky

Sakura hirahira mai orite ochite
Yureru omoi no take wo dakishimeta
Kimi to haru ni negai shi ano yume wa
Ima mo miete iru yo sakura mai chiru
[The cherry blossoms fell, fluttering down
Embracing every bit of my fluttering love
Even now, I’m dreaming the dream I prayed for with you that spring
The cherry blossoms scatter]

Densha kara mieta no wa
Itsuka no omokage
Futari de kayotta haru no oohashi
Sotsugyou no toki ga kite
Kimi wa machi wo deta
Iroduku kawabe ni ano hi wo sagasu no
[From the train I could see
The traces of one day

The big bridge we crossed together

Graduation time came
And you left town
On the colourful riverbank, I search for that day]

Sorezore no michi wo erabi
Futari wa haru wo oeta
Saki hokoru mirai wa
Atashi wo aserasete
Odakyuusen no mado ni
Kotoshi mo sakura ga utsuru
Kimi no koe ga kono mune ni
Kikoete kuru yo
[We went our separate ways
And brought our spring to an end
My future is in full bloom
But it fills me with panic
This year, once again, the cherry blossoms are reflected
In the window of the Odakyuu train
In my heart
I hear your voice]

Sakura hirahira mai orite ochite
Yureru omoi no take wo dakishimeta
Kimi to haru ni negai shi ano yume wa
Ima mo miete iru yo sakura mai chiru
[The cherry blossoms fell, fluttering down
Embracing every bit of my fluttering love
Even now, I’m dreaming the dream I prayed for with you that spring
The cherry blossoms scatter]

Chiisa na uso wa misuka sareru ne
Meguri yuku kono machi mo
Haru wo ukeirete
Kotoshi moa no hana ga tsubomi wo hiraku
[The start of my letter to you
Says “I’m doing OK”
You’ll see through that little lie, won’t you?
Even the town going past
Is taking in the spring
The flowers are opening their buds again this year]

Kimi ga inai hibi wo koete
Atashi mo otona ni natteiku
Kouyatte subete wasurete iku no ka na
“Hontou ni suki dattanda”
Sakura ni te wo nobasu
Kono omoi ga ima haru ni tsutsumarete iku yo
[I’ll get through these days without you
And I, too, will grow up
Will I forget everything?
“I really loved you”
I hold out my hands to the cherry blossoms
Now my love is wrapped in the spring]

Sakura hirahira mai orite ochite
Yureru omoi no take wo daki yoseta
Kimi ga kureshi tsuyoki ano kotoba wa
Ima mo mune ni nokoru sakura mai yuku
[The cherry blossoms fell, fluttering down
Embracing every bit of my fluttering love
Even now, the strong words you gave me
Remain in my heart; the cherry blossoms dance]

Sakura hirahira mai orite ochite
Yureru omoi no take wo dakishimeta
Tooki haru ni yumemi shi ano hibi wa
Sora ni kiete iku yo
[The cherry blossoms fell, fluttering down
Embracing every bit of my fluttering love
Those days I dreamed of on that distant spring day
Disappear into the sky]

Sakura hirahira mai orite ochite
Haru no sono mukou he to aruki dasu
Kimi to haru ni chikai shi kono yume wo tsuyoku
Mune ni daite sakura mai chiru
[The cherry blossoms fall, fluttering down
And I walk out into the spring
I clutch the dream I promised you that spring
Tightly to my chest; the cherry blossoms dance]
