Five Lyrics Translation – Arashi
HIKARI writes about footprints that spin into constellations, a metaphor for how shared experiences create lasting bonds. The lyrics mention a night sky without stars being boring, but their collective journey transforms it into something beautiful. It’s a touching reminder of how past and future connect.
Fushigi to natsukashii kaze no nioi tachidomaru boku o oikoshitettaA strangely nostalgic scent on the wind passed me as I stood still,
Marude senaka o sotto osareta youna ki ga shitagiving me the feeling that I’d been gently pushed from behind.
Dorehodo no yume o egaite doko made todoita darouHow many dreams have we painted, and how far did we actually reach?
Nokoru no wa zaratsuita hokori no tezawariAll that remains is the gritty texture of dust on my hands.
Ashita no yukue nante dare ni mo wakari wa shinai kara imaSince nobody knows where tomorrow’s headed, right now,
Yakusoku sura aete iranai mirai ni obienakute iiI don’t even need a promise; I don’t have to be afraid of the future.
Hoshi no nai yozora nante tsumaranai to kimi wa ittaYou said a night sky without stars is just boring,
Kedo bokura ga aruita kiseki ga ima seiza o tsumuide yukubut the footprints we’ve left are spinning together to form constellations now.
Tatoe ibitsu de futashikana sen demo omoi wa tsunagatteru horaEven if the lines are distorted and uncertain, look, our feelings are connected,
Sou omoeta kono shunkan ga eien toiu na no uso hontou ni shitaand this moment where I felt that way turned the lie called ‘eternity’ into truth.
Wasurenaide iyouLet’s never forget.
Donna toki demo kata o narabete wakachiatta hibi gaThose days when we stood shoulder-to-shoulder, sharing everything,
Mikanseina bokutachi ni chikara o kuretagave strength to our unfinished selves.
Shiawase no katachi wa sukoshi dake sugata o kaete imaThe shape of happiness has changed its form just a little, and now,
Onaji toki o kizande iru sorezore no sora no shita dewe’re ticking away the same time under our own separate skies.
Kagayakeru tada hitotsu o muchuu de bokura oikaketaWe desperately chased that one single thing that could shine,
Ano hi mune ni yadoshita `yuzurenai mono` imadatte soba ni aruand that ‘unwavering thing’ we held in our hearts that day is still with us.
Dakara mayoi wa mou nainda koko kara mata hajimaru nda horaSo there’s no more hesitation, it’s all starting again right here, look,
Atsumete kita kaze ga yasashiku ashita kara no peeji o mekutte kuyothe wind we’ve gathered is gently turning the pages of tomorrow.
Mou nidoto onaji toki wa otozurenai kedoThe same time will never visit us again, but
Iki o shite iru nda kokoro no oku fukai bashoit’s still breathing deep within the depths of my heart.
Kazoekirenai keshiki o kazoekirenai hodo utattaWe sang about countless scenes, more than I can even count,
Soredemo ima koko ni hirogaru sora ga itsu yori mo utsukushiiyet the sky spreading out before us now is more beautiful than ever.
Hoshi no nai yozora nante tsumaranai to kimi wa ittaYou said a night sky without stars is just boring,
Kedo bokura ga aruita kiseki ga ima seiza o tsumuide yukubut the footprints we’ve left are spinning together to form constellations now.
Kako mo mada minu mirai mo koko ni musubarete ita koto horaLook, how the past and the yet-to-be-seen future were tied together here,
Kasanariau kono shunkan ni kokoro kara arigatou ieta kotoand how I could say thank you from my heart in this overlapping moment.
Wasurenaide iyouLet’s never forget.
