二日前このへんで飛び降り自殺した人のニュースが流れてきた
Two days ago, the news broke of someone who jumped to their death around here.
血まみれセーラー 濡れ衣センコーたちまちここらはネットの餌食
A blood-soaked sailor, false accusations turning this place swiftly into net fodder.
「危ないですから離れてください」そのセリフが集合の合図なのにな
"Please stay away, it's dangerous," yet that line becomes a signal for the crowd.
馬鹿騒ぎした奴らがアホみたいに撮りまくった
The fools who made a ruckus snapped photos like it's some kind of joke.
冷たいアスファルトに流れるあの血の何とも言えない 赤さが綺麗で 綺麗で
The blood flowing on the cold asphalt, its indescribable redness is beautiful, so beautiful.
泣いてしまったんだ 泣いてしまったんだ
I ended up crying, I ended up crying.
何も知らないブラウン管の外側で
Outside the glass of a clueless TV set.
生きて 生きて 生きて 生きて 生きて
Live, live, live, live, live.

I was alive, alive all along.
最後のサヨナラは他の誰でもなく
The final goodbye was not to someone else, but to myself.
自分に叫んだんだろう
I shouted to myself, didn't I?
彼女が最後に流した涙
The tears she shed for the last time,
生きた証の赤い血は何も知らない大人たちに２秒で拭き取られてしまう
The proof of life, her red blood, wiped away in two seconds by adults who know nothing.
立ち入り禁止の黄色いテープ
The yellow tape that says 'No Entry',
「ドラマでしか見たことなーい」
"I've only seen this in dramas."
そんな言葉が飛び交う中でいま彼女はいったい
Amidst such words flying around, what in the world is she thinking now?
何を思っているんだろう
What is she feeling, I wonder?
遠くで 遠くで
Far away, far away,
泣きたくなったんだ 泣きたくなったんだ
I wanted to cry, I wanted to cry.
長いはずの一日がもう暮れる
The long day that should have been is already fading away.
生きて 生きて 生きて 生きて 生きて
Live on, live on, live on, live on, live on
生きて 生きて 生きていたんだよな
I've been living, I've been living, you know?
新しい何かが始まる時
When something new begins
消えたくなっちゃうのかな
Do I feel like disappearing, I wonder?
「今ある命を精一杯生きなさい」なんて綺麗事だな
"Live your life to the fullest," is such pretty talk, isn't it?
精一杯勇気を振り絞って彼女は空を飛んだ
Gathering all her courage, she soared into the sky
鳥になって雲を掴んで 風になって遥か遠くへ
Becoming a bird, grasping the clouds, turning to wind, far, far away
希望を抱いて飛んだ
With hope in her heart, she took flight
生きて 生きて 生きて 生きて 生きて
Live on, live on, live on, live on, live on
生きて 生きて 生きていたんだよな
I've been living, I've been living, you know?
新しい何かが始まる時
When something new is about to begin,
消えたくなっちゃうのかな
I wonder if I just want to disappear.
生きて 生きて 生きて 生きて 生きて
Live, live, live, live, live,
生きて 生きて 生きていたんだよな
I was living, living, I really was.
最後のサヨナラは他の誰でもなく
The final goodbye was not to anyone else,
自分に叫んだんだろう
But a cry I shouted to myself.
サヨナラ サヨナラ
Goodbye, goodbye.
