Buddy Lyrics English Translation by Spyair
The lyrics writer tells the story of two friends navigating life’s challenges. A key line, ‘It’s gonna be okay, it’ll definitely clear up,’ offers reassurance. The musician uses the metaphor of overlapping shadows to describe how bonds strengthen over time.
Nee kao wo ageteHey, lift your head up.
Saa kono te wo totteNow, take my hand.
Sotto ugoki hajimeruSoftly starting to move,
Bokura no kage gaour shadows are.
Nigiwau machi no hashikko niOn the edge of a bustling city,
Taida ni suwarikondawe sat down lazily.
Nandemonai tte kao deWith a face that says ‘it’s nothing,’
Hanashiteru kedoyou’re talking, but…
Sonna wake nai yo ne koe ni dasanai deThat can’t be right, don’t say it out loud.
Mienai ori de hoaeterun darouYou’re probably howling in an invisible cage.
Daremo ga suki katte iu dake deEveryone just says whatever they want,
Anmari ki ni shinai deso don’t worry about it too much.
Bokura wa bokura no chizu woWe’ll spread out our own map,
Hirogete susumun daand keep moving forward.
It’s gonna be okIt’s gonna be okay.
Kitto hareruyaIt’ll definitely clear up.
Donna mondai datte mondai wa naiNo matter the problem, there’s no problem,
Kimi to issho ni waraebaif I’m laughing with you.

Machi ga kagayaku you niand the city starts to shine,
Sekai wa hora seikai darakelook, the world’s full of right answers,
Kimi to issho ni arukebaif I’m walking with you.
Soredemo doredake hanashitatteEven so, no matter how much we talk,
Wakari aenai hi mothere’re days we won’t understand each other.

Hohaba chigau karaour strides are different.
Taishita koto janai tada sore dake saIt’s no big deal, that’s all it is.
