あぁ素晴らしき世界に今日も乾杯
Ah, cheers to this wonderful world once again
街に飛び交う笑い声も
The laughter echoing in the streets
見て見ぬフリしてるだけの作りもんさ
Is just a facade, turned a blind eye to it all
気が触れそうだ
I feel like I'm losing my mind
クラクラするほどの良い匂いが
A scent so good it’s dizzying
ツンと刺した鼻の奥
Pricks at the back of my nose
目を覚ます本能のまま
Awakening, driven by instinct
今日は誰の番だ?
Whose turn is it today?
この世界で何が出来るのか
What can be done in this world?
僕には何が出来るのか
What can I do?
ただその真っ黒な目から
From those pitch-black eyes,
涙溢れ落ちないように
I pray tears won't overflow.
あぁ願う未来に何度でもずっと
Ah, persistently I wish for a future,
喰らいつく
I will bite down hard.
この間違いだらけの世界の中
In this world full of mistakes,
君には笑ってほしいから
I want you to smile,
もう誰も傷付けない
So that no one gets hurt anymore.
強く強くなりたいんだよ
I want to become stronger, stronger.
僕が僕でいられるように
So I can remain myself.
素晴らしき世界は今日も安泰
A wonderful world is safe today as well.
街に渦巻く悪い話も
Whispers of wicked tales swirl in the city,
知らない知らないフリして目を逸らした
I turned my eyes away, pretending not to know.
正気の沙汰じゃないな
It's truly madness, isn't it?
真面目に着飾った行進
A parade adorned with serious faces,
鳴らす足音が弾む行き先は
The footsteps echo with a bounce towards their destination,
消えない消えない味が染み付いている
A flavor that clings, never to fade away,
裏側の世界
The hidden side of the world,
清く正しく生きること
To live purely and rightly,
誰も悲しませずに生きること
To live without bringing sorrow to anyone,
はみ出さず真っ直ぐに生きること
To live straight and true, without straying.
それが間違わないで生きること?
Is that what it means to live without error?
ありのまま生きることが正義か
Is living as I am truly justice?
騙し騙し生きるのは正義か
Is it justice to live by deceiving and being deceived?
僕の在るべき姿とはなんだ
What is the form I should take?
本当の僕は何者なんだ
Who is the real me?
教えてくれよ
Please tell me
教えてくれよ
Please tell me
今日も
Even today
答えのない世界の中で
In a world without answers
願ってるんだよ
I am wishing for it
不器用だけれど
I'm clumsy, but
いつまでも君とただ
Forever just with you
笑っていたいから
Because I want to keep smiling
あぁ跳ねる心臓が
Ah, the heart that leaps
体揺らし叫ぶんだよ
Shake your body and shout out loud.
今こそ動き出せ
Now is the time to take action.
あぁ弱い自分を何度でもずっと
Ah, my weak self, again and again, forever.
喰らい尽くす
Devour completely
この間違いだらけの世界の中
In this world filled with mistakes,
君には笑ってほしいから
I want you to smile.
もう誰も泣かないよう
So that no one will cry anymore
強く強くなりたいんだよ
I want to become stronger and stronger
僕が僕でいられるように
So that I can be myself
ただ君を守るそのために
Just to protect you, for that alone
走る走る走るんだよ
I run and run and run
僕の中の僕を超える
Surpassing the me within myself
