今までの日々 ふと思いだしたんだ
Those days I've lived, suddenly I remember
土砂降りの雨の中 飛ぶ飛行機の中で
In the pouring rain, inside a flying airplane
針と糸ひとつ手渡され 「はじめ」の合図で
Handed a needle and thread, with the signal to begin
針の穴に糸を通す これを繰り返すような
Threading the needle, repeating this again and again
Days Ace
これからの日々 ふと描きだしたんだ
The days ahead, I suddenly start to draw
上下左右 乱高下 もう吐きそうなんだ
Up and down, left and right, I'm feeling nauseous now
泣いてすがったり 落ちてひろったり 皆様 様々
Crying and clinging, falling and picking, oh so varied we are

Trembling hands, blurred vision, why are there eight fingers on my hand?
ひとっこひっとり殺さずに 誰とも肩ぶつからずに
Without killing a soul, bumping shoulders with no one
いじめずいじめられずに 車にはねられぬように
Neither bullied nor bullying, avoiding being hit by cars
病、火事、事故、地震 日々紙一重でかわしながら
Illness, fire, accidents, earthquakes, dodging life’s thin edge each day
騙されぬほどに優しく 嫌みにならぬほどに賢く
So gentle, yet not easily fooled, so wise, but not bitter
生きなさいとさ はい、そうかい
Live they say, yes, I suppose
曖昧なようで 明快なような 繊細なストーリーを
Seemingly vague yet clear, a delicate story
踏み外さぬように 逃さぬように 細心の注意を
Careful not to stumble, careful not to miss, pay attention with utmost care
あんたに言ってもなんだかさっぱりだとは思いますが
Though it seems pointless to you, I think it's rather clear
あんたもバッタリ或る日 そっくり 引きずり込まれるさぁ
One day you'll unexpectedly find yourself drawn into it too
悲しみの匂いが鼻について 洗い流そうと席を立った
The scent of sorrow fills my nose, I rise to wash it away
トイレに向かうが そこは悲嘆者の列 嗚咽の列
Heading to the bathroom, but there's a line of the grieving, a line of sobs
諦め目を瞑る者 膝をつき許し請う者
Those who close their eyes in despair, those who kneel and seek forgiveness
腕に針あてて 愛しき人の名を彫り入れる者
Those who draw a beloved's name with a needle on their arm
彼らの様 横目に 祝杯と声あげる者
They raise a toast and cheer, glancing over at them
着陸までに糸通した者だけが明日を生きられると
Only those who thread the needle before landing can live to see tomorrow
わざとらしくも しおらしく
So artificial yet so demure
生きなさいとさ はい、そうかい
Live they say, yes, I suppose
天上のようで 地獄絵図のような ぞんざいなストーリーを
Like a vision of heaven yet resembling a hellish scene, a careless story
一抜けるもよし 駆け抜けるもよし そう究極のチョイスを
It's fine to slip away or burst through, that's the ultimate choice
僕のそっくりが一人こっそり 非常口の前へ
A copy of me sneaks quietly to the emergency exit
おもむろにゆっくり ハンドルを切り
Slowly, in a relaxed manner, I turn the steering wheel
制止を振り切り シュートが開き
Shaking off the restraint, the chute opens wide
そんなのほっとけ 落ちたきゃ勝手に
Forget about that, if you want to fall, do as you please
させとけそれよりも 針に糸を
Let it be, but more importantly, thread the needle
曖昧なようで 明快なような 繊細なストーリーを
Seemingly vague yet clear, a delicate story
踏み外さぬように 逃さぬように 細心の注意を
Careful not to stumble, careful not to miss, pay attention with utmost care
喜劇的なようで 悲劇的な運命 お好きに調理を
Seeming comedic yet tragic fate, you can cook it any way you prefer
つま先立つもよし いきり立つもよし 行け 最高到達点を
It's fine to stand on your toes or to get riled up, go, reach the highest point
