ねえ、ずっと長く感じてた夜を超え
Hey, I've crossed over the night that felt so long
きっと遠くまできたよ
I'm sure I've come quite far
もう今は音の出ないウォークマンを抱きしめ
Now I hold tight to a Walkman that's silent
ここで歌ってる
Singing right here
ああ、ちゃんと自分の足で立ってるよ
Ah, I'm truly standing on my own two feet
たくさんの"ありがとう"の上で
On top of so many 'thank you's
太陽へ羽を広げたてんとう虫
A ladybug spreading its wings towards the sun
行方を眺めていた
I was gazing at the direction it took
離さないように強く掴んできたもの
The things I've held on to tightly so they won't slip away
涙の河に置いてきたもの
The things I've left behind in the river of tears
行き先はいつか走り出した夜の向こう
The destination lies beyond the night that once began to run.
なにかになりたかったあの日から
Since that day when I wanted to be something more.
なにもかもが少しずつ違うけど
Though everything is a little bit different now.
また生まれ変わっても 私はわたしでいたい
Even if I'm reborn, I want to stay true to myself.
大切に思えば思うほど
The more I cherish, the deeper my feelings grow.
相変わらず空回りもする
Still, I often feel like I'm spinning my wheels.
神様は私の負けず嫌いを知っているんだ きっと
God surely knows my stubborn streak all too well.
傷つかないように強くなりたかったな
I wished to grow stronger, to avoid being hurt.
優しさには助けられてきたな
I've been saved by kindness in so many ways.
欲張りな私連れてどこまでも行こう
Let’s take my greedy heart as far as it can go.
歪な心を許せたのは
I could forgive my twisted heart,
飾らない居場所を見つけたから
Because I found a place where I can be unadorned.
焦らなくていいの 春風に吹かれていよう
There's no need to rush, let's be blown by the spring breeze.
ボロボロになった靴底で刻んできた
With the worn-out soles of my shoes, I’ve carved my way,
ほら、たくさんの物語
Look, so many stories await.
夢中で走り続けてやっと
After running on and on, finally,
見つけたの私世界の愛し方を
I discovered how to love my world.
本当はなくしたくなかったもの
What I didn't really want to lose,
本当は壊したくなかったもの
What I didn't truly want to break,
思い出はいつも振り返った夜の向こう
Memories are always beyond the night I look back.
離さないように強く掴んできたもの
The things I've held on to tightly, so they wouldn't slip away
涙の河に置いてきたもの
The things I've left behind in the river of tears
行き先はいつか走り出した夜の向こう
The destination lies beyond the night that once began to run
なにかになりたかったあの日から
Ever since that day when I wanted to become something
なにもかもが少しずつ違うけど
Though everything is gradually a little different
この先もずっと 私はわたしを愛せたらいい
I hope that from here on, I can continue to love myself
愛せたらいい
I hope I can love myself
