勝つと思うな 思えば負けよ
Don't think you'll win, if you do, you'll lose.
負けてもともと この胸の
Losing's just fine, deep in this heart of mine,
奥に生きてる 柔の夢が
Lives a gentle dream, waiting all this time.
一生一度を 一生一度を 待っている
Once in a lifetime, once in a lifetime, it waits patiently.
人は人なり のぞみもあるが
People are just people, with their hopes and dreams,
捨てゝ立つ瀬を 越えもする
But sometimes we must part, and cross the streams.
せめて今宵は 人間らしく
At least tonight, let's be human,
恋の涙を 恋の涙を 噛みしめる
Savoring the tears of love, savoring the tears of love,

馬鹿を相手の 時じゃない
Now's not the time to deal with foolishness.

Whether I go, dwell, sit, or lie down,
柔一すじ 柔一すじ 夜が明ける
A single thread of softness, a single thread of softness, as the night breaks.
