    I thought of you all along; the stars looked beautiful to me.

  4. そしたら思い出した 60した

    Then I remembered, I took my sixtieth billionth breath.

  7. 遠くから声聞した ってたん

    From afar, I heard a voice saying, "You're doing great."

    So, should I be stronger than anyone else?

  9. よりいい時代

    "You should become stronger than anyone else," the times laughed with me.

  10. 幾つもの

    Countless lives were taken.

  11. だけってたん

    Only my closed eyelids knew my weakness.

  12. あの宇宙道草

    Both that shining star and the withered me are merely distractions of the universe.

    Just with that, I felt I could smile again tomorrow.

    With just that, I felt I could still love the tomorrow me.

  16. ランランラン爛々って具合生きみたいものです

    I want to live in a carefree, bright manner, as if saying, 'La la la, I'm so dazzling!'

    (Dad)

  19. いました だけ走りした

    I gave up and laughed, leaving only my dreams behind as I ran.

  20. いやでもナニカ目指なくちゃ 苦しいこそとかなん?

    But I must aim for something, right? Even when it’s painful, they say to smile, what does that mean?

  21. 今日 ちょくらんでくる

    My friend who laughed today said, "I think I’ll just go die for a while."

  22. そしていつもよう 左手また

    And as usual, I waved my left hand, saying, "See you later."

  23. えて今日今日生まれきた辻褄

    The friend who disappeared today is the reason why the friend was born today.

  24. それだけまた明日笑えるようちゃ

    Just that alone makes me feel like I could laugh again tomorrow.

    This voice I brought with me perhaps didn’t want to say such things.

  26. きたあのどこかんでいるかな

    I wonder if that dream I left behind is somewhere, feeling glad.

    To hate you is just a little closer, but to love you feels far away still.

  31. うまいことでき世界

    It's a world that turned out quite well,

  32. それでも 上手 生き見せる好きたりした

    Still, you see, I liked the way I could live so skillfully,

  33. それだけまたいつまで笑えるようした

    Just that alone made me feel I could keep on laughing forever,

  34. ってきた快楽ていした辻褄

    The pleasure that fell from the sky was the logic sent by my weeping self,

  35. 明日ってたしかに ていたん

    The star that shone tomorrow was indeed watching over me.
