  1. あなたナニカ届けたく だけって走りした

    I wanted to deliver something to you, so I ran with only my voice.

  2. ずっとずっと遠くまで そしたらナニカ忘れした

    All the way to the distant horizon, then I forgot something.

  3. あなたずっといました きれい見えたん

    I've always thought of you, and the stars shone beautifully.

  4. そしたら思い出した 60した

    Then I remembered, breath taken for the sixty billionth time.

  5. 生きてること確かたく 呼吸少し 止め

    "I want to confirm that I'm alive," I tried holding my breath for a moment.

  6. 酸素んで なんとなくごくしか

    Oxygen longed for me, and somehow I felt an overwhelming joy.

  7. 遠くから声聞した ってたん

    From afar, I heard a voice saying, "Keep going."

  8. じゃあよりあれいい?

    So should I be stronger than anyone else?

  9. よりいい時代

    The era when I laughed and said, "I should be stronger than anyone" is now.

  10. 幾つもの

    It took many lives away.

  11. だけってたん

    Only my closed eyelids knew my weakness.

  12. あの宇宙道草

    That shining star and I, withered, are mere detours of the universe.

  13. それだけまた明日笑えるようした

    I felt as if I could smile again tomorrow just from that.

  14. ってきたこの痛みってした辻褄

    This pain that has fallen upon me is the consequence of my laughing self.

  15. それだけまた明日好きられるした

    I felt that just that would make me love tomorrow's self once more.

  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 way that's carefree, singing and shining like a bright light.

  17. すっからかんころすってんころりちょん

    Completely empty, tumbling down, a joyous tumble all around!

  18. って名前生まれきたです (パパ)

    I wished to be born with that name (Papa)

  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 still, I have to aim for something, they say it's when times are tough that you must smile, or something like that?

  21. 今日 ちょくらんでくる

    Today, a laughing friend said, "I’m just going to die for a bit."

  22. そしていつもよう 左手また

    And as always, I waved my left hand and said, "See you later."

  23. えて今日今日生まれきた辻褄

    The friend who disappeared today is the counterpart of the friend who was just born today.

  24. それだけまた明日笑えるようちゃ

    Just with that, it feels like I can smile again tomorrow.

  25. ってきたこのこんなこといたくなかかな

    I wonder if this voice I brought along wished I hadn’t said such things.

  26. きたあのどこかんでいるかな

    Is the dream I left behind rejoicing somewhere?

  27. ごめん ごめん ごめん

    I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.

  28. この地球 まだ明日ようする

    This Earth has crossed countless nights and still seeks to see tomorrow.

  29. そしたら 20越せるする

    Then, I feel like I too can overcome the twenty-year mark tonight.

  30. 嫌いなるもう少し 好きなる遠く

    It’s just a little closer to hating, yet so far from loving.

  31. うまいことでき世界

    It's a world that can be quite clever

  32. それでも 上手 生き見せる好きたりした

    Yet, I find I liked how I could live gracefully, you know?

  33. それだけまたいつまで笑えるようした

    Just that thought made me feel I could keep smiling forever

  34. ってきた快楽ていした辻褄

    The pleasure that fell upon me was the explanation I sent while crying

  35. 明日ってたしかに ていたん

    The star that shone tomorrow was certainly watching over me
