打ち捨てられた高速道路を
On the abandoned highway,
歩き続けている
I keep walking on.
みんな一列に並んでは
Everyone lined up in a row,
ゲラゲラ笑いながら
Laughing out loud,
犬も猫も鶏も引き連れ
With dogs, cats, and chickens in tow,
街を抜け出したんだ
We escaped the city.
こんなに世界が広いこと
I didn't realize how vast this world is,
知らずにいたんだな
I was unaware of that.
みんなが歌った あの歌に
In that song everyone sang,
出てきた国に
A country appeared.
僕らは行くよ 声を上げて
We will go, raising our voices
振り向かないよ
I won't look back
ねえ笑おう 手をとってほら
Hey, let's smile, take my hand, see?
悲しみをはらう為に
To cast away our sadness
もう二度と迷わない
I won't hesitate anymore
約束したよね
We promised, didn't we?
ママ パパ ママ
Mama, Papa, Mama
今もあいたいよ
I still want to see you now
でもね僕は行くよ
But you know I'm going
誰もいない街から街へとゆく
From town to town where no one is around
僕らの冒険は
Our adventure
くだらないことを喋りあい
Is talking about silly things
身を寄せ合って歌を歌う
Huddled together, we sing a song
帰る場所が無くなって随分経ち
It's been a long time since we lost our way home
悲しみにも慣れて
We've grown used to the sadness
それでも僕らの毎日は
Yet our everyday lives
まだ終わらないまま
Still remain unfinished
忘れられないよ どんなときも
I won't forget, no matter the time
あの日のことを
About that day
僕らは行くよ きっと行くよ
We're going, surely we will go
もう泣かないから
I won't cry anymore
ねえ今は 何もかもが
Hey, right now, everything
美しくみえるんだ
Looks so beautiful
もう僕は待ちきれない
I can't wait any longer
あの光る方へ
Toward that shining light
ママ パパ ママ
Mama, Papa, Mama
皆で行くんだ
We're all going together
寂しくないんだよ
I'm not lonely at all
聞こえるよ
I can hear it
歌声と誰かが僕らを呼ぶ声
The singing voice and someone calling us
ここにいるよ
I'm right here
見つけておくれ 僕らのこの足音を
Come find me, listen to our footsteps
足音
Footsteps
足音
Footsteps
ねえ笑おう手をとってほら
Hey, let's laugh, take my hand, look
悲しみをはらう為に
To cast away our sorrow
もう二度と迷わない
I won't get lost again
約束したよね
We promised, remember?
ママ パパ ママ
Mom, Dad, Mom
今もあいたいよ
I still want to see you
でもね僕は行くよ
But you know, I'm going to go,
今もあいたいよ
I still want to see you now,
いつでも想っているよ
I'm thinking of you always.
