さあ 今日も始めましょうか
Well then, shall we start today?
昨日 挟んだ栞の続きから
Let's pick up from where yesterday's bookmark was placed.
楽あれば苦もあり
With joy comes sorrow, too.
ストーリーは波の随に
The story flows with the rhythm of the waves.
深い海を抜け
We break through the deep sea,
空飛ぶ街に繰り出し
And venture into the city that flies in the sky.
そこから降りれなくなり
From there, we find it hard to come down,
脈絡のないような展開も
Even the turns that seem out of place,
きっとオンリーなストーリー
Are surely a one-of-a-kind story.
高鳴る所には忘れず付箋を
Where the heart races, don't forget to leave a note.
時々くるマイナスな面に備えて 重宝して
Sometimes, I prepare for the negative side, it's quite handy

Flutter, flutter
めくり めくる
Turning, turning
ストーリー ストーリー
Story, story
喜怒哀楽 忙しい
Joy, anger, sorrow, excitement – so busy

忙しない ネバーエンディング
Restless, never-ending
いつになれば終わるんだ
When will it all come to an end?
皆目、見当もつかない
I have no idea at all,
お生憎、見当もつかない
I'm afraid I have no clue,
さあ 今日も始めましょうか
So, shall we begin today as well?
栞挟んだページ 涙の跡
A page with a bookmark, traces of tears,
苦しくて思わず閉じた
It was so painful, I closed it involuntarily.
理由は忘れずに
Never forget the reason,
読み進める程白紙のページが
As I read on, more blank pages emerge,
お気に召すままに 起承転結をこしらえて
To your liking, I'll craft the plot and finale,
ひらり ひらり
Fluttering, fluttering,
めくり めくる
Turning, turning.

自己責任 険しい
Heavy is the weight of self-responsibility
破り捨てたい時は もう一回
When I want to tear it all apart, it's time for one more round
付箋の場所を読み返し
Rereading the notes I've left behind
そこに在ったストーリー
The story that existed right there
彩るキャラは居ましたか
Were there characters to color it all?
さあ 思い出して
Now, let's remember
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa

I can't see, I have no clue
お生憎、見当はつけない
Unfortunately, I can't seem to guess
さあ 今日も始めましょうか
Now then, shall we begin today as well?
