1 2 3 me o tojite you are my heroOne, two, three, close your eyes, you’re my hero.
Issee no de nanimo kamo sutete ikouOn the count of three, let’s throw everything away.
1 2 3 me o samase you are my heroOne, two, three, wake up, you’re my hero.
Ii no mou ari no mama ikite kou yoIt’s okay now, let’s just live exactly as we are.
Perfect my idea tada kodomo no you ni muga muchuu niPerfecting my idea, just losing myself in it like a child.
To my dear zutto ongaku shitetai dake nanoniTo my dear, I just want to keep making music forever, but…
I’m scared boku o torikakonde iru shigaramiI’m scared of the obligations surrounding me.
Nani ga freedom kireigoto ni nopeWhat freedom? No thanks to these empty platitudes.
Ha what do you meanHa, what do you mean?
Ongaku wa hito o kimi o boku o kaeremasu kaCan music really change people, or you, or even me?
Jimon jitou no everyday boku wa attemasu kaIn this daily self-questioning, am I doing the right thing?
Anata dake ni boku no narasu oto hibikeba ii janIt’s enough if the sounds I make resonate with you alone.
Yo amigo kyou wa suki ni sasete kure warui naYo amigo, let me do what I want today, sorry about that.
1 2 3 me o tojite you are my heroOne, two, three, close your eyes, you’re my hero.
Issee no de nanimo kamo sutete ikouOn the count of three, let’s throw everything away.
1 2 3 me o samase you are my heroOne, two, three, wake up, you’re my hero.
Ii no mou ari no mama ikite kou yoIt’s okay now, let’s just live exactly as we are.
Nani kara nani made nani watashi tadashiiFrom start to finish, what about me is right?
Kodomo damashi dashi daseeIt’s just a cheap trick for kids, and it’s so pathetic.
Atama gonashi usui koi kotoba ja tsutawaranaiBeing silenced by authority, these thin words of love won’t get through.
Fake star ikansenA fake star, unfortunately.
Kakowarete ite nigerarenai ndaI’m fenced in and I can’t escape.
Shiro ka kuro ka keri o tsukeroSettle it once and for all, is it black or white?
Kimi wa zutto watashi dake no heroYou’ve always been my one and only hero.
Jibun ga inai koto imasara wakatte panicRealizing I’m not even here after all this time, I’m panicking.
Jishin wakanai kedo toriaezu ikioi drivingI lack confidence, but I’m driving forward with momentum for now.
Ningen da mono to iikikasete iru hibiI spend my days telling myself that I’m only human.
Dakedoもあって hoshii it’s meaningBut I want you to understand its meaning.
Kanpeki nanka janai i’m lonelyI’m not perfect at all, I’m lonely.
Me o tojireba itsu demo kimi noWhenever I close my eyes,
Hero ni nareru koto o zuttoI always believed I could be your hero.
Ima wa yume no mata yume demoEven if it’s just a dream within a dream right now,
Wunau bakari datta to shitemoand even if I’ve done nothing but groan in frustration.
1 2 3 me o tojite you are my heroOne, two, three, close your eyes, you’re my hero.
Issee no de nanimo kamo sutete ikouOn the count of three, let’s throw everything away.
1 2 3 me o samase you are my heroOne, two, three, wake up, you’re my hero.
Ii no mou ari no mama ikite kou yoIt’s okay now, let’s just live exactly as we are.
You are my heroYou’re my hero.
Sashidasareta sono te mo soerareteta kotoba moBoth that outstretched hand and the words you offered me,
Motte haiagare haiagaregrab them and crawl upward, crawl upward.
Nanimo motte nakutemo nanimo shitte nakutemoEven if you have nothing, even if you know nothing.
Hashiru kono reeru kireru gooru teepuRun down this rail and break through the finish line tape.
I’m your heroI’m your hero.
