あなたにナニカ届けたくて 声だけ持って走りました
I wanted to deliver something to you, so I ran with just my voice in hand.
ずっとずっと遠くまで そしたらナニカ忘れました
For a long, long way, and then I forgot something.
あなたをずっと想いました 星がきれいに見えたんだ
I thought of you all along; the stars looked beautiful to me.
そしたら僕は思い出した 60億回目の息をした
Then I remembered, I took my sixtieth billionth breath.
「生きてること」確かめたくて 呼吸を少し 止めてみた
"I wanted to confirm 'that I'm alive,'" I tried holding my breath a bit.
酸素は僕を望んでいた なんとなくすごく嬉しかった
Oxygen desired me; strangely, I felt incredibly happy.
遠くから声聞こえました 「頑張れ」と言っていたんだ
From afar, I heard a voice saying, "You're doing great."
じゃあ誰より強くあればいい?
So, should I be stronger than anyone else?
「誰よりも強くなればいい」と笑った時代が今
"You should become stronger than anyone else," the times laughed with me.
幾つもの命を奪った
Countless lives were taken.
閉じた瞼だけが僕の弱さを知ってたんだ
Only my closed eyelids knew my weakness.
輝いたあの星も枯れ切った僕も宇宙の道草
Both that shining star and the withered me are merely distractions of the universe.
それだけでまた明日も笑えるような気がしたんだ
Just with that, I felt I could smile again tomorrow.
降ってきたこの痛みは笑ってた僕がよこした辻褄
The pain that fell upon me was a consequence sent by the me who had been laughing.
それだけでまた明日の僕を好きでいられる気がしたんだ
With just that, I felt I could still love the tomorrow me.
裸ラランランラランラ爛々ってな具合で生きてみたいものです
I want to live in a carefree, bright manner, as if saying, 'La la la, I'm so dazzling!'
すっからかんのころんのすってんころりんちょんのポン
I wanted to be born with the name of 'falling down, tumbling over, silly plop.'
って名前で生まれてきたかったです (パパ)
(Dad)
諦めて僕笑いました 夢だけ置いて走りました
I gave up and laughed, leaving only my dreams behind as I ran.
いやでもナニカ目指さなくちゃで 苦しい時こそ笑えだとかなんだ?
But I must aim for something, right? Even when it’s painful, they say to smile, what does that mean?
笑った友が今日も 「ちょっくら死んでくるわ」と言った
My friend who laughed today said, "I think I’ll just go die for a while."
そしていつものよう 僕は左手を振った「またね」
And as usual, I waved my left hand, saying, "See you later."
消えてった今日の友は今日生まれてきた友の辻褄
The friend who disappeared today is the reason why the friend was born today.
それだけでまた明日も笑えるような気がしちゃった
Just that alone makes me feel like I could laugh again tomorrow.
持ってきたこの声はこんなこと言いたくなかったかな
This voice I brought with me perhaps didn’t want to say such things.
置いてきたあの夢はどこかで喜んでいるのかな
I wonder if that dream I left behind is somewhere, feeling glad.
ごめんな ごめんな ごめんな
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.
この地球は何億の夜を越え まだ明日を見ようとする
This Earth has crossed billions of nights, still trying to see tomorrow.
そしたらね 僕にもね 20年目の夜を越せる気がする
Then, I feel like I too could cross the night of the twentieth year.
嫌いになるにはもう少しで 好きになるには程遠くて
To hate you is just a little closer, but to love you feels far away still.
うまいことできた世界だ
It's a world that turned out quite well,
それでもね 上手にね 生きて見せる僕が好きだったりした
Still, you see, I liked the way I could live so skillfully,
それだけでまたいつまでも笑えるような気がしたんだ
Just that alone made me feel I could keep on laughing forever,
降ってきた快楽は泣いていた僕がよこした辻褄
The pleasure that fell from the sky was the logic sent by my weeping self,
明日光ってた星はたしかに 僕を見ていたんだ
The star that shone tomorrow was indeed watching over me.
